![]() ![]() He has 8,000 MAXCON and will follow your party around, until he either dies or you feed him enough "candy". ![]() The Night Terror: At Darin's Village, you can get through a booby-trapped, heavily-defended corridor inside the underground complex to find the Night Terror, a pint-sized green goblin creature. Matt also appears in a few other references throughout the game, like "Fin-Tek", a technology company that manufactured a number of robots in the Wasteland universe. Who is this handsome devil? It's the alternate universe of inXile company president, Matthew Findley. ![]() The Fin: In Ag Center, you might come across a poster on a wall featuring a dashing young man with golden, curly locks of hair, known only as "The Fin". It has all sorts of things to say about your party. In the sewers under Highpool, the switch that activates the radio has a sign next to it that reads, "Good morning, Vietnam!", in reference to the film starring Robin Williams.ĭNA Sequencer: In Ag Center's Central Basement, you can come across a DNA Sequencer machine, which will give you information about a given character you "speak" to it with. Many of the names on them are references to Kickstarter backers, and some also refer to the game's community forum moderators. Ranger Citadel Graveyard: Near Ace's grave is also a bunch of other graves. General Vargas will warn you to stop - but only so many times. You can actually pick up the shovel there and start digging it. There's also plenty of references to past RPGs, including a "Controller Chip #13" you may stumble upon that might sound familiar to Fallout fans.Īberforth: As you head out from the Citadel there is a goat by the name of Aberforth, probably a reference to Aberforth Dumbledore from the Harry Potter Series.ĭigging Up Ace's Grave: Right at the start of the game, you'll be at Ace's grave as it's being filled. As a game with its roots in the late 80s, it's only appropriate you find Betamax tapes and boom boxes from time to time. Junk Items: Many if not most of the game's junk items are references to something or other - Star Trek, 80s and 90s toys, music and culture, Spinal Tap, and much, much more. Many of their screams come from actual goats you might have seen in various YouTube videos around the Internet, but other screams they make are stock sound clips you've probably heard somewhere before, including the famous Wilhelm scream. Goat Screams: There are a lot of goats throughout Wasteland 2. Vax: In Arizona's Abandoned Railway map, you might encounter Vax - this robot can be repaired and gives you some dialog, but he's actually a reference to a character from Wasteland 1. Their names, Cheburashka and Shapoklyak, are references to two Russian cartoon characters. What are they saying? The two characters are actually talking about Red Baychowski's radiation suits - they are trying to get his radiation suits but he refuses to sell to them, and instead trying to contact his brother Rick. Russian Radio Chatter: In Arizona, you might hear a radio call in Russian. IGN reported earlier this year on the real-life excavation of E.T cartridges and other Atari memorabilia in the New Mexico desert. This is a reference to the infamous New Mexico burial of the ET game for the Atari 2600 which some say sparked the beginning of the 1984 video games crash. Atari Cartridges: Out in the Arizona world map, there's a hidden cache to the northwest of Ranger Citadel containing thousands of "Extra Terrestrial" Atari game cartridges. ![]()
