Fargo Traders

Post by Bloodgeon11 »

I don't ever remember seeing a post about this, but feel free to bitch me out if it is so obvious that nobody wrote about it, or it's been dicussed a million times...
i was paying special attention to the beginning movie, so i stored a lot of it away, for no particular reason...then i went to the hub and got the missing caravan quest, and the sign jolted my memory!

Far Go traders...Chris Fargo...

Ok, just be gentle...

it may have been an uconcious addition to the game, they needed names and thats just one that popped into their heads because they see it elsewhere. or it is infact an... "easter egg" (is there a better word for this kind of thing?)

Don't you mean Brian Fargo?

And yes, it is a reference.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Arg, that's a groaner. And among all the caravan insignia, that's the one they decided to toss into some ruins in FO2, as well.

Interesting how you confuse Chris with Brian. There were too damn many Chris' at BIS. That's why the whole thing collapsed.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Sorry, must not have been paying *that* much attention, huh?
