Pop Culture References in Starfield
The game has also provided the opportunity for players to inject their own popular culture references into Starfield via the in-built ship-builder. Such references have so far included nods to both Batman and Star Wars. However, these additions are not compensating for any shortage of cultural references included by the producers, Bethesda.
The Secret Easter Egg
One subtle Easter egg has been tucked away within one of Starfield's many in-game items. This reference pays homage to a highly popular Lord of the Rings quote. If you need a clue, the item is the same one used by a player to demonstrate the game's impressive physics recently.
Did you guess it? The game's potatoes have been used to harbor this Lord of the Rings Easter egg. The description of the item reads: 'Can be prepared in many ways. Boiled, mashed, used in a stew.' This is a clear nod to Samwise Gamgee's famous 'Po-tay-toes' monologue, in which he lists the various ways in which potatoes can be cooked.
Excitement Over Cultural References
Some users who discovered this reference couldn’t contain their excitement. 'This is amazing,' one user declared. 'One of my favorite moments in Lord of the Rings, and I quote it in my head nearly every time someone says ‘potatoes’.'
