Blade Runner references?

[SMILEDOZER]

Curious to see if anyone has run into any

[madlink]

I believe I have. On the roof of the mass fusion reaction shed is a tableau that reminds me of when Roy died.

Well the obvious one would be Nick Valentine. I can't really believe that is all coincidence (synth, his outfit, original was a cop), though I'm not sure thats what you're talking about here due to the differences. Gotta be at least inspired by BR.

Oh and the open all night noodle shop, run by an asian.

Haven't found any straight up easter egg -like thing yet. (Only one I've noticed so far was Sons of Anarchy)

[strangerism]

the covenant SAFE test is the clear easter egg, all the others mentioned here are just coincidences. I didn't see the mass fusion roof though.

edit: well I admit takeshi noodle shop feels like blade runner

also this should be the mass fusion top floor reference https://i.imgur.com/aicOy0s.jpg

The Japanese noodle bot...

I've just watched Blade Runner, and there are a few that I've noticed. I missed the Mass Fusion one.

Nick Valentine and Rick Deckard. They share the same style coat, and Deckard probably would have had a hat, if Harrison Ford hadn't just played Indiana Jones the year previous.
Valentine's name may be in reference to Deckard's name, and the fact that one of the Blade Runner Replicants was "born" on Valentine's Day.
Add to that, the film's suggestion that Deckard may be a Replicant himself.

I initally thought the Covenant SAFE test was only a reference to Fallout 3, but the film proved me wrong.

Batty calling Tyrell "Father" may have been inspiration for the NPC of the same name.

Not sure if the presence of blimps (or is it a dirigble?) is a reference, since they don't really serve the same purpose.

The presence of Chessboards as junk items may be a reference, but only very minimal. They have been in Fo3 and NV, anyway.

Both noodle merchants say "Nan ni shimasho ka?", although the Blade Runner guy can say other things too.

The Gen 3 Synths are possibly based on the Nexus 6 Replicants, in that they are both the best versions yet made by each organisation, built for slave labor, indistinguishable from humans, and capable of emotion.

Codsworth can say Deckard.

Voight-Kampff machine and the way the testee reacts to questions (where there's no right or wrong answer) can determine whether they are human or replicant.

The test in FO4 is the same thing, minus the Voight-Kampff machine.

I highly suggest watching the movie. There's a ton of references in FO4.

Question does not compute.

[Ifodder]

you folks who havent seen Blade Runner, Need to see it.

[Patrykblack7]

Well this thread gives my motivation to see this film
But its 1 am so I will watch it later goodnight

[Spocks Toupee]

I've seen it a few times, and I STILL don't get what the big deal about it is.

It's loosely based off of Philip K ♥♥♥♥♥' "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?"

The big deal is that it's a great piece of literature. A rare diamond in the rough, if you will. Both the story and the movie.

I can't explain to you the "why" they're great pieces of literature in any way that wouldn't turn into a wall of text. Take some courses (free or otherwise) on literature for answers to that question.
