Half Life Easter Egg in Dragon Age II?

[Raicuparta]

So I was playing Dragon Age II, and there was this merchant, I think in the Gallows, that was selling a staff called "Free Man's Staff", made of "Red Steel". Easter egg?

 

Didn't feel like taking a screenshot, but found one online. I think the website was in Mandarin, so not sure if it says anything about the easter egg:

Perhaps. More obscure references exist, I'm sure.

It's obviously a reference to the infamous crowbar.

I might torrent the game just to see that item... lol

I wonder if I'm the first person to notice this :/

Would be awesome if you were, but I bet other gamers will notice it too.

for what it's worth, the DA wiki doesn't seem to have a page on this item yet.

hahaha, this is brilliant! Fre eMan's staff - means crowbar? xP

The red steel makes me laugh. It wouldn't surprise me, as they had a portal reference in the first Dragon Age.

They have a " the cake is a lie " reference in sooo many games

I still think the best Easter egg in a game was the "Itsa me! Mario!" In Assassin's Creed II.

 

I nearly fell off my seat laughing so hard.

Agreed. LOL

 

I got DA2 just to see the staff, it doesn't really look like anything except a pure coincidence to me.
