you mean, hoth, the planet?

Well Bethesda does play Homage to Empire Strikes Back. I haven't seen it, but read it in the Strat guide. Something about a Wampa cave. I think there is a dead skeleton stuck in the ice on the celing with a sword on the ground.

yes

Except that one is a space-cannon, and the other is an observatory with its telescope sticking out.

still look the same :tongue:

Yeah, I think of Hoth every time I see that.

Mmh, now that you mention it, it looks kind of like that cannon from Hoth...

Not that I had thought it when I have been playing. If I ever saw that first screenshot, from that perspective and angle, I might have, though. In the game those things are so big and "the pipes" facing in odd directions, you can't really tell other than if you're levitating around them or something.

It might even be an intentional reference though. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Bjorn.

I love this almost as much as I like finding poor Indie.

Yeah, it′s the Ion cannon! :laugh:

"We meet again, Dr. Jones"

Duke Nukem in Duke Nukem 3D :thumbsup:

There's also the frozen skeleton hanging upside down with a sword stuck in the ground below him in Bloodmoon. Remind you of anything else in Empire Strikes Back?

When do we find poor Indy? Or do you mean in New Vegas.

Thank you
