Hi, so I was playing fo2 and was on my way to an army base north of new reno when I had this encounter. There was this bridge and a monk standing next to it. My character said that I should save my game in different slot. I talked to monk and he asked me some weird questions like what npc from fo1 appears in fo2. When I answered the questions the monk just left. Was it an easter egg? Will it have any effect on the story? Why did my char said I should save in different slot? Thanks.

Edit: I just tried to kill the monk and he sommond the brahmin that exploded and killed me

It's a Monty Python easter egg. See:

If you had answered with a question to the third question, the Bridge Keeper would have exploded, and you'd have gotten his robe, which has stats like a Combat Armor, but is much lighter.

Oh, thanks a lot Didn't expect to find something like that in a game like fallout

Actually you should expect to find a lot of things like that in Fallout 2!

Heh, there are a few 'wierd' easter egg special random encounters in FO2, and FO for that matter.

That's an odd twist of it... Fallout 1 & 2 are known for it. They are what the games are like.

BTW... if you're early in the game... the Bridgekeeper's robes are pretty good armor.

Nobody expects the Spannish Inquisition Monty Python references.

I expected to find a "Comfy Chair" in FO3 ~No joke

It's just that I never played any fallout game before and I am trying to finish it w/o using any walkthroughs and guides so that was really unexpected

Lol :clap: I've got to see the whole movie

Life of Brian is good also... Meaning of life has its moments but isnt quite as good.

It's better if you see the whole movie because the answer king arthur gives to the third question is a reference to the opening scene.

I personally thought Fallout 2 went way overboard with the Easter Eggs but this one was brilliant.
