I've been searching without luck for confirmation that the "Tickets please" line from a subway protectron http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtYiqGp7E7U&feature=related is an nod to The Last Crusade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNseba-wHUc&feature=related.

As many know (at least those amongst us here that have played Morrowind), there is a reference to Indiana Jones in Omalen Ancestral Tomb where http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:A_dying_man%27s_last_words.

So, the question is; Is it, or is it not an easter egg?

It's unlikely that it's an easter egg- the term "Tickets Please" has been in use since the 1800's, when conductors wandered the cars of passenger trains checking for tickets.

Unlikely, it may be one but it's such a common phrase that it doesn't seem likely. Easter eggs are normally much more specific or obvious. "Tickets please" is just the best phrase to use there really.


Nonetheless I like that bit, not sure why, maybe it's just a slice of how it was before the bombs.

"Tickets Please" is such a common phrase that I don't think it's an Easter Egg.

Reminds me of this commercial where one person asked another which movie the phrase "thank you" was from.


(answer: James Bond, or so I recall)

Yeah, "tickets please" in itself is common, but it was paired with the situation that reminded me of the Indie scene.

I'll admit I was looking too far into it.
