After that ship crashes go listen to the engineer's log at the end she goes "it's a shame you can't see this middle finger I'm holding up, because I'm doing as hard as I can" which I believe is a reference to the mooninites from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

almost every quest is a reference to science fiction books and films. The Empty Man is a reference to Hollow Man, Stranger in a Strange Land is the Robert Heinlein classic. Die Robot is a reference to I Robot, The Stainless Steel Rat is the main character in a series of books by Harry Harrison, By His Bootstraps is another Heinlein story, The Illustrated Manual is a reference to a Ray Bradbury story The Illustrated Man, Flowers for Sebastion is a reference to Flowers for Algernon, I'm not sue if Star Crossed Troopers is a reference to Heinlein's Starship Troopers or not. Fistful of Digits is a western reference to Fistful of Dollars. I wouldnt be surprised if all the other quests were also film or book references, but it's great to see how many classics are included. in Parvati's room there is a plant on the shelf which is "not a petunia" which could be a Hitchiker's Guid to the Galaxy reference to the guided missile that gets turned into a bowl of petunias and thinking to itself "oh no, not again"

No one can translate french, almost... the archaic dead language from futurama

The kitchen on the Unreliable is another Firefly reference - it's close enough to the original that it's hard to imagine the resemblance is anything but intentional.

No one going to mention that French was a dead language in Futurama and the same proved true in this series?

The shopkeeper in Edgewater is named Moreau. That is the real last name of The Master, the leader (and creator) of the mutants in Fallout 1

"I should sell my theremin, because I haven't touched it in years." 🤣😂 Owww . . . my sides hurt . . .

the ministry of accuracy and morale in Byzantium gave me a George Orwell's 1984 vibe.

Dehydrated Water (a junk item) you can find is likely a reference to Space Quest.

The weapon "The Vermin" is a reference to Joe Piscopo's character in Johnny Dangerously. Also, all of the quest names are based on old pulp Sci-Fi novels and short stories.

I like the Guy Montag one. Montag & Faber, two of the main characters in Fahrenheit 451 are, themselves, an easter egg, having the same names as paper brands.

Good stuff, though I'd say the biggest reference to Firefly is Parvati herself.

Just outside of edgewater there's a journal thingie that mentions a great war on earth which lead to the earth directorate gaining power, most likely another fallout reference.

If you sneak in the back of moonmans shop and can pick locks, you'll find a unique version of his helmet that increases your temperament by 2; just a nice little bonus if you are outfitting your crew to be Spacer's Choice mascots

If you go to Scylia with ellie and finish the find irion on scylla quest it's a nice zap branegon from futurama Easter egg.

There are 2 Kurt Vonnegut references in the quest names: Slaughterhouse Jive - Slaughterhouse Five Canid’s Cradle - Cat’s Cradle

Changing Parvati's name to Pavarti for the cheese joke, I see what you did there

The Bolter pistol looks like Mal's gun too.

Your theremin joke made me laugh. I’m pretty disappointed in myself for that... 🧀 🙃

Bertrand Fox's Helmet also looks like the Firemen's helmets in Fahrenheit 451

As a music lover and (self-proclaimed) aficionado, I well and truly appreciated the theremin joke. Bravo, Mr. Higton, bravo! 👏

Reminds me a lot of firefly with the music and dialogue and that can never be a bad thing

The Dexter's lab reference is also a reference, to a Steve Martin stand-up routine. He tries to impress the waiter in France, but has to practice "Omelette du fromage" for a few days before he has the courage to say it at breakfast. Then he is unable to answer the follow up question, as the waiter assumes he is fluent in French.

How come nobody brings up the *13* on The Hope? IIRC it's the same font as the original Fallout as well.

I noticed a grand total of one of these, barring Nyoka- the adverts 😂 Also the Titus Andronicus reference on the loading screens, which is too obvious even for this video.

What about the fact that the Moon man’s name is Martin? Moon Martin... Bad Case Of Lovin’ You? Doctor Doctor gimme the news, I got a bad case of lovin you... Seriously, gonna leave me hanging here? God I’m old.

I had a convo with Nyoka while she was passed out. She remained in position for the whole thing. I also kidnapped Junlei during her date with Parvati and took her with us to the Hope to skip jump it to Welles lab. She remained onboard till we returned to Groundbreaker. I also brought Parvati on the hope mission, so Junlei was just left alone mid date... Also... Firefly Easter egg, almost every moment with Parvati is so much Kayleigh

I always see that guy in Spacers Choice to be a nod to Nier Automata's Emil Mask. Also interesting video, I didn't notice a lot of these despite completing the game.

Very shiny references. I really love these

Mass Effect? The Stranger often ends their conversation with vendors/bartenders with "I should go" or "talk to you later."

There is a hammer you can find on monarch in the rocks on a cliff. It’s called Olympus and it’s between two rocks like the movie where he splits the rocks

Dont know if anyone already said it, but Spectrum Vodka, a glass for every class! Is clearly related to Paranoia RPG(1984).

Did u get the spider man reference? Durring the printing press quest when u save the lade from sub light. One of the responces is "just your friendly neighborhood ironclast"

Amazing video love it

Lots of references to pulp science fiction classics, especially in the quest names. "Remember the Hope" is on a poster showing the colony ship "The Hope" seen often on the loading screens, which I think is a reference to "Remember the Cant" from Leviathan Wakes (Expanse TV series), which was a colony ship that was destroyed. Check out some of the passcodes you're given. Came across one that was Hawking's birthday.

In the Murder on Eridanos DLC you can go into a bar and have the option to say "Get me a drink, bartender". My first thought was it was from the game "The town with no name"

The mind your head sign maybe a Star Wars reference to when the stormtrooper hits his head on the doorframe

If you go to lilya and go to the final quest for her, there's a dialog line you can say along the lines of "you had my interest, now you have my attention" which I believe Leonardo dicaprio says in Django

I figured that the obsidian skull in the captain's quarters (if you kill Reed) was a dig at Bethesda.

Pavarti will often say “Down they go!” This is a reference to Star Wars Nights of the Old Republic’s character Carth Onasi. He says something very similar (down you go!) and he says it very often in combat.

I overheard two random characters in Stellar Bay saying a line from Frank Capra's "It's a wonderful Life". They can be heard saying a variation of "every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings". Can't remember exactly what they say, sorry.

"and how is the widow doing? To shreds, you say?"

If you put on a Moonman head/helmet and talk to him again you'll get a little bit of extra dialogue as well.

There is a Star Trek: The Motion Picture Easter Egg on one of the loading screens. The screen showing Phineas' lab has a sticky note with "12th power energy field" written on it. This is a quote from Spock when he describes V'ger's energy shield composition.

Captain MacCredd is also very likely a reference to John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing with Kurt Russell playing Captain R.J. MacCready who uses a flamethrower as his main weapon against the titular Thing.

Does the moon-faced Luna Park mascot from Futurama not seem like a more likely explanation for the moon-faced Spacers' Choice mascot than a french film from 1902?

Nothing about the sci-fi classic Flash Gordon? On Phineas' lab there's a note saying "An obscure body in the SK system". One of the opening lines of the 1980 Flash Gordon movie.

I laughed so hard when I stumbled on the Obi Wan "move along" reference.

In Phineas's lab is a note about an "obscure body in the SK system". A nod to General Klytus from Flash Gordon.

There’s a Portal Easter egg when talking to Udom Bedford playing a dumb character with Max in the party.

The Rick and Morty reference is my absolute favorite. If you don't know - It's in a quest where you have to assassinate someone, but there's already another assassin hired to kill them. If you don't decide to work with him you'll hear it.

You had me at Firefly

There's a guy in Fallbrook who refers to the locals as 'hoopleheads' just like Al in Deadwood.

The Dexters Lab reference between Vicor and Parvati talking about only knowing how to say cheese omelette hahahaha. That little exchange got me pretty good.

You can find the corpse of the Big Damn Hero in the Monarch wilderness, in another nod to Firefly

There a lot of Easter egg and reference. The weapon "anarchist's cookbook", the armor design for the standard trooper that looks alot like the robot from metropolis, the assault rifle looking alot like the concept art of the original fallout, ect

I loved the one I got in Byzentium when I got caught once in a restricted area by the board. My option for persuade was the line from Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. Lol! So Persuasive that I can use the force!

What if The Outer Worlds is just the extended Fallout universe after Vault-Tec was successful going into space.

One time I went to speak with ADA and SAM was there. She sounded like she was...enjoying it.

Those add bots with panels on either side reminded me of tie fighters

Missed another Star Wars one; Re-assembling Sam in the Unreliable was a throwback to Obsidian's Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, where you had to reassemble HK-47 on the Ebon Hawk.

I remember my first play through I ran into so many meme references.... god I love obsidian 😂

The first guy with the mask on was a reference to crater face from Futurama.

You forgot another Beatles easter egg, with the mission titled 'Happiness Is a Warm Spaceship' which is a reference to the song 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun' by the band.

In the dlc when you go to that one office building, there’s this desk that has a computer that you interact with and one of the emails is to someone named Michael and then there is a lockbox with a Bolter 3.0 pistol inside next to the computer. Michael Bolten Easter egg from office space.

Did you notice that those advert robots with the catchy slogans also look uncannily like a TIE Fighter from Star Wars?

The early retirement building in the reminds me of the experiment in vault 11 in fallout where they had to pick someone to kill for the vault to live but they actually didn't

wow i'm going to scrap Thunder for weapon parts as soon as i see it. thanks!

There's a "That escalated quickly" reference in the boarst worst factory mission if your cloak runs out and you're stopped by a human guard use the (intimidate 20) option

Martin also strongly reminds about Yoko Taro both with his appearance and phrases.

"Mind your head" on the ship is also one of the star wars easter eggs

There is a Hot Fuzz reference where Felix asks Nyoka if she has ever fired a gun whilst jumping through the air.

The comedian Steve Martin could have been Parvati's father, who taught her French. During Steve's French stand-up bit he also mentions omelette du fromage.

I thought Martin reminded me a bit of Marvin from Hitchhikers Guide

So that's where Noel Fielding got the moon idea from in the mighty boosh!

I'm just now playing the new DLC how did I never notice the Futurama Easter eggs that's like my favorite show

this one is a long shot but I can see the connection, while doing Vicar Max's quest, hacking the security computer on groundbreaker there's an entry in the security logs of some crazy guy who beat up the spacers choice cashier with the Moon head. He was raving how the moon was gonna bring about the end times. maybe a nod to Majoras Mask?

There is a piece of paper on a trolley in Phineus Welles Lab. Written on it is, 'an obscure body in the SK system'. This is a reference to the planet Earth in the film Flash Gordon (1980).

In Nyokas quest "C.H.A.R.O.N." is mentioned. Charon is a Fallout companion.

Martin sounds like David Puddy from Seinfeld. *_Thanks for choosing Spacers Choice..._* *_High five_*

"Nice Hat" a shout out to the second part of the Firefly Plot episode where Mal and crew must reluctantly deliver "imprinted food stuffs" to Patience, the "Mayor of this here little moon" (who shot Mal once before). It's a top hat that, after Mal utters those words, Jayne snipes off the head of Patience's personal hired gun as he sits on his horse next to hers. You can find that hat on Terra 2 in one of the buildings off to the left, I believe a group of houses or two before you reach "the Mathers" house. Its sitting on the head of a corpse behind a counter. Right now I'm letting Kaylie, I mean Parvarti run around with it on her head. Quite Fetching!

"Don't dead, open inside." 😂😂

Haha, had to listen to that twice but I'm assuming the "Don't Dead Open Inside" reading was intention.

I looked up the schematic for that theremin, it's the version by Robert Moog from 1954

Keep an eye out for The Big Damn Hero - Firefly reference.

I think the moon mask Martin wears is actually a reference to Futurama. As there is a mascot on the moon that wears a suit & a big moon mask.

One of the characters you meet is called captain Ron, he looks like kurt Russell, after the film in 1992 starring kurt Russell

The Halcyon name is from a bird and also a object name from Distance game on Steam. If anyone doesn’t know Distance game it’s a racing game where you have to survive to get to the end of the track, just look it up on Steam or look up Survivethedistance or Refract Studio on google and it should pop up.

Most of the movie posters are references to old classics as well as the titles of movies from the film company. My favorite tho was when I first landed in stellar bay. To npc’s we’re quoting it’s a wonderful life at eachother. Well “its a wonderful directorate”.

I really think people should watch the whole video before making comments. :/

#21 The voices of those ad robots are nearly identical to those of the B1 battle droids from Star Wars.

I totally missed nearly all of these. And I'm the type to read all the terminal entries and listen to every conversation. A lot of these do seem obscure. But that's a good thing. I don't like games that are too immersion breaking. Fallout 2 comes to mind, though I actually do love that game but they did go overboard with the references.

I'm going to be honest, I agree with the last one. I don't think I laughed harder the entire game than the first time I found her drunk in her room. XD

T&L has gotta be a reference to Tim Cain & Leonard Boyarsky's names, the two game directors and co-creators of Fallout.

When you go to take over station 1084 for Sublight and UDL call you on the monitor, you have the choice to say “Everything’s fine now. Totally fine. How are you?” Which is Said by Han Solo in Star Wars: A New Hope Also, when you talk to Lilya Hagen while doing the sublight quest line, at one point, you have the choice to say “you had my interest, now you have my attention” which is a reference to Django Unchained

I found the obiwan line by accident and died laughing and im already dying from the covid....okay im one downward slide but still

I must get my hands on those healthy purpleberries!

7:04 someone tell Oxbox, they need to make that.

I also just realized. The game was released (to steam, at least) on october 23 O__o

There's also a Fallout 4 Easter egg through a NPC having the same name as the Abernethy Farm settlement.
