Line 36:
** Also, the hurlock commander in charge does the neck-cricking thing that the Uruk-Hai commander does in the movie.
** No one has mentioned that it seems an awful lot like Helm's Deep? The spawn of evil are charging forward with a forest behind them towards a guarded fortress on a rainy night? All we needed was Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas to show up.
** The Deep Roads have obvious Moria parallels--aparallels—a destroyed dwarven kingdom overrun by darkspawn/orcs, rife with the valuable mineral lyrium/mithril.
** Indirectly, Flemeth's unseen rescue from the Tower of Ishaal is highly reminiscent of the way Gandalf and the eagles save Frodo and Sam from Mount Doom, if Morrigan's story is true. A note the PC can find also mentions that a band of unfortunate explorers "should have taken the damn giant eagles."
** A possible reply to one of Wynne's conversations about being a Grey Warden is: [[Lord of the Rings|"I do not want power. I have never wanted it." Hello, there, Aragorn.]]
Line 69:
* If you talk with Sten twice in the epilogue he'll say: "I was told there would be cake. [[Portal (series)|There is no cake. The cake is a lie."]]
* In the Darkspawn Chronicles it's revealed that Alistair named his dog [[Penny Arcade|Barkspawn]].
* In Awakening, the flavor text for the Kal'Hirol Lava Burst mentions that [[The Simpsons (animation)|it tastes like burning.]]
* If Zevran is in your group, you can at one point give him a pair of [[Main/Ricardo Montalban|fine Antivan leather]] gloves (like the ones his mother used to own). He will be surprised and ask what the occasion is, to which the player character may respond: [[Pirates of the Caribbean|"If you don't want them, give them back."]]
* In the Witch Hunt DLC, the joinable mage NPC Finn has a magic staff [[Firefly|called]] [[I Call It Vera|Vera]]. The item description even says, "He's named it 'Vera' for some reason".
