These ideas are cool especially the next of kin idea.

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with putting stuff from other universes in FO as long as it isn't one with a sledgehammer. It needs to be easily missed, not an obvious punch in the goolies

skyrim/tes easter eggs in fallout would be really lame

A few TES easter eggs to consider...

-A series of dead Drunk Supermutants in various hilarious situations. A homage to Oblivions collection of Drunk Goblins.

-A skeletal hand in a lake reaching out with an assault rifle.

-A BOS Scribe idle comment about "The Elders Documents" being so poorly written they'll make you go blind just reading them.

-"I used to be a scavenger like you, then I took a hollow point to the knee."

-A headless corpse named Rodrik.

I'd prefer Fallout to not have any TES references.

Considering people started thinking aliens are a part of Fallout lore from obvious Easter Eggs on par with Dr. Who and Godzilla..?

Hell no, TES should stay as far away from Fallout as possible. The two series are different entities and should remain that way. I can see the posts now, "Well Hermaeus Mora was in Fallout 4, so Daedric Princes are a part of Fallout lore now; Deal with it!"

Nah I'll pass on this or any TES Easter Egg, thanks.

I like the last two.

How about:

A nest of Supermutants whose supply of drinks include only milk and is littered with empty milk bottles.

"I can't believe we let vault dwellers like you wander the Wastes."

Maybe in a Grognak comic but otherwise I'd be deeply irritated by any overt cross-series references. I hate crossovers.

Aliens were not an Easter egg they were an entire dlc that is a major difference. Aliens are as result canon to the FO universe, they were not simply a hidden inclusion on a poster or playing card to be found in the game

What is being suggested is a vague hidden detail that most people will never even notice.

Did you know there was a Fallout 1, 2, Tactics and Fallout 3 vanilla game?

All of which depicts aliens as Easter Eggs/non-canon elements and that the game is about humanity and not aliens? MZ contradicts the entire series including Bethesda's vanilla game and most Fallout following forum members have been against aliens in Fallout. I very much doubt that a poorly received DLC would overturn the entirety of the series (and yes, it was poorly received as evidenced by both fan and critic ratings).

On that note, this thread is about TES in Fallout. My mentioning of aliens was merely an introduction to my post as a way of comparing the issues.

Edit: If you do want to argue aliens as canonical elements in Fallout, there are dozens of threads floating around about aliens. I would just prefer not to derail the thread.

No. I would rather TES and Fallout keep to their respective sides of the franchise rope.

No. Don't confuse Tamriel with Alternate History America.

What about the Sweetroll Scenario?

It would be funny if an NPC came to me for a quest to find out who stole their sweet-roll.

That is a must, am I right?

And the Sole Survivor would say, "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?"

You already get accosted by Butch for your sweetroll during the 10-years-old segment of CharGen in FO3.

What's funny is that I have no interest in this kind of cameo/easter egg, but I wouldn't have minded finding a copy of The Wasteland Survival Guide in Apocrypha during the Dragonborn DLC.

If there is any type of easter egg to be put into FO4 that carries over from TES, it should be strictly one that really isn't associated with just any one game.

Of course, I'm talking about the Fishy Stick.

As a TES easter egg I'd prefer seeing or hearing a dragon in a specific secluded corner of the map. Just IMO

More people would likely understand the reference too

The only TES NPC I'd enjoy seeing in Fallout is a human version of M'Aiq the Liar, since he's already an easter egg NPC to start with (unless he's Sheogorath in disguise). A ragged fellow with a cat-eared headband or hood who makes oblique commentary on the Fallout series and community. Of course, he should have the same voice actor and speech mannerisms has his Skyrim counterpart, and he should give you your own kitty-eared headwear once you've heard all he has to say.

Other than that, only small reference should be made to The Elder Scrolls, if any.

M.A.I.Q. the Protectron, found with a Holotape:

No. Why would anyone want to even mix the two worlds? FO has enough interesting characters on it's own.

(Khajiiti accent) Ah, fellow brethren who agrees with khajiit. Khajiit thinks so too.

I think a Hermaeus Mora easter egg would be cool. Instead of showing Hermaeus Mora directly and doing something like a void or mass of tentacles, I think a strange book with a cover made of scraps of human, super mutant, ghoul, etc. skin would be a good easter egg. Maybe it could give a minor, across-the-board increase to weapon damage and whatnot. Either way, I think it'd be a good easter egg.

No just no.

I mean, you can have a reference to TES that wouldn't necessarily link the two universes, like GC Rust's suggestion.
