Talk:Easter Eggs

From Witcher Wiki

I removed the following incorrect information:

Tunes from Requiem for a dream: The only way the music in the Trade quarter could be called a tune from Requiem for a Dream is if the word tune meant note. There are a few notes in the music which lead it to have a slight resemblance to the title track of the aforementioned film; however, this resemblance is very slight and entirely coincidental. The music for The Witcher was composed by Pawel Blaszczak and Adam Skorupa; the Kronos string quartet (which did the music for Requiem for a Dream) had nothing to do with this production and their music is not used here in any way. The similarity is very slight and entirely coincidental in nature. This does not qualify as an easter egg.

This game sucks referrence: As had already been pointed out by someone else, when the children say "this game sucks" they are referring to the hopscotch-like game they are playing. Thus there is no way this can be considered an easter egg other than through the misinterpretation of what they are saying.

Music from Fallout: Like the music from "Requiem for a Dream" reference above, this one too suffers from the same type of bias. A slight resemblance does not in any way constitute a strong similarity and cannot be termed an easter egg. The resemblance to any music from Fallout is very slight and entirely coincidental. It is not due to design and cannot be considered an easter egg. I have a strong suspicion that the reference to the alleged easter egg about a reference to the Smurfs theme also suffers from this same kind of bias and is likely nothing more than a very slight similarity that a person is misinterpreting as a purposeful nod. However, I am not familiar enough with the Smurfs tune to state this as a fact; someone more familiar with that tune may want to look into this and see if whoever wrote it isn't merely letting his imagination turn every musical similarity into an easter egg.
