Was it ever explained why Ron Perlman was an npc at the end

If you use use a certain console command while the credits are playing you'll be able to walk around and eventually bump into Ron Perlmans npc. Strangely enough he's dressed in legion centurion armor and has an eye patch.Is this an Easter egg or something because he's not in the cut content section.

Does it look like him? That is pretty cool. It's a bummer that the developers didn't give us console players a chance to see that stuff.

I just clicked the link and I guess it doesn't look anything like him.

Because he's not meant to be seen. He's just there as the relay point for the cutscenes. That's why he's standing behind the movie screen thingie.

Oh I thought it was a hidden easter egg. I wonder if he even knew they made him an npc.

The NPC is just a sounding board for your slide choices. Likely using the system for 'Completed The House Always Wins=Say House Victory Slide' and the like. Testacles isn't an Easter Egg though. (Test-a-clees, not what your thinking)

That's weird, but cool. It probably has something technical to do with the game.
