In preparation for Starfield, I took a trip down memory lane and revisited some of my favorite Bethesda easter eggs from past games. Skyrim was one of the first easter egg videos on this channel, and so it was nice to revisit some secrets I hadn't seen since recording that video.
TIMESTAMPS:
Oblivion - 0:00
Fallout 3 - 1:38
Fallout: New Vegas - 4:36
Skyrim - 7:09
Fallout 4 - 9:24
Fallout 76 - 11:09

*In preparation for Starfield.* Bethesda are up there with Rockstar as one of the developers I've covered most on this channel. With Starfield finally out, I wanted to take a trip down memory lane and show some of my favourite easter eggs from their games. I haven't played Starfield yet, so I'm excited to see new secrets they have hiding for us! (spoiler alert: it might not be much, i checked)

[@steveraybro8769]

I’ll give you one for free, read the description of potatoes when you find one in Starfield.

[@MrCrazyduck22]

As always, fantastic editing!!!

[@spufd3110]

Check the prisoner logs when you're in the Lock in the first crimson fleet mission!

[@Venom-xd9st]

Just wondering, did you get any info for some of these Easter eggs from tksmantis?

[@FunWithGuru]

@@Venom-xd9st I've been watching his videos quite a lot recently, but I don't think I got anything here from them.

Nice touch of equipping a suppressed shotgun for the No Country for Old Men easter egg. Always love the attention to detail in your videos

[@FunWithGuru]

Thank you! Someone made a mod for New Vegas which puts the weapon in the game. I couldn't get it into Fallout 3, so I downloaded a mod that lets you play F3 on New Vegas' engine.

[@ajg3733]

​@@FunWithGuruIt's so cool that you put in that much effort for something so small, really sets you apart. I also loved the ending, looking up at the stars, so so good!!

[@youtubeistrash2347]

That movie came out way later then that game

[@dumdum407]

​@@youtubeistrash2347I thought No country for old Men was 2007, f3 was 2008

[@FunWithGuru]

@@youtubeistrash2347 The movie came out in 2007. That easter egg was added in 2009 with the Point Lookout DLC.

[@herrhayden1596]

The amount of hours I’ve spent in Skyrim exploring dungeons, caverns and forests, I’ve never had the thought of looking behind a fireplace to find a carefully detailed potato Glados

[@FunWithGuru]

It's my favourite easter egg in the game and I only found it like 2 years ago. It's hard to find becuase you only access that area once in the game. You have to use console commands to go back, like I did.

[@herrhayden1596]

@@FunWithGuru How’d you even find it in the first place? That’s insane

2018 really was a “Spongebob Womp Sound Effect” year for Bethesda… Insane video as always!! Keep up the amazing work 🙌

The transition from New Vegas to Skyrim with the music hit me so hard. Really brings back all the good memories I have of playing that game for the first time. Thanks for the quality videos. Your channel has always been one of my favorites.

[@FunWithGuru]

Thanks so much! I forgot how amazing the Skyrim soundtrack was. I had a hard time picking which track to use there because there are so many that made me nostalgic.

[@awesomegamer7]

With the "you look nice today" door, when you open it it also triggers 3 sentry bots to come out and attack you, so it's a double reversal

[@KillerGryphyn]

A sad easter egg, and really more like a tribute to Adam Adamowicz, was the concept art room in Fallout 4's Creation Club DLC "Capital Wasteland Mercenaries", where you return to Galaxy News Radio in DC to assist the "Good Fighters" against the Talon Mercs trying to take over the radio station. While the mod is fanservice overall, there is a room within GNR that is filled with the beautiful concept artwork of Fallout 3 by Adam Adamowicz, that shows that he was THE concept artist that made Fallout 3 so special visually, along with skyrim, before passing away too soon.

[@MpBrYce]

thank you for your content over the years. I’ve been watching you since like idk, 2016, 2017. Thank you for everything you do.

[@DeathnoteBB]

Dude easter eggs are insanely popular

[@Gyrbae]

What kind of a comment is that, there are huge amount of channels dedicated to uncover easter eggs, this being one of them.

[@Aldderan]

This channel nearly has a million subscribers, of course they're popular.

[@MpBrYce]

Most gamers play the game to “game”. They don’t constantly replay it to find little secrets. A million seems like a lot but there are hundreds of millions of players. Just because you guys go searching for Easter eggs doesn’t mean that EVERYONE searches for Easter eggs. That’s all I meant. My bad boys.

[@thematiasmadness7010]

Bro no offense but we aren’t that special there’s 829k people subscribed to this channel we aren’t exactly a minority

[@Robin1996ify]

Love that Ron the Narrator not only named after his VA, but also has his eyepatch placement like Slade's (Ron Pearlman voiced him in Teen Titans)

[@yeti4269]

7:27 is a personal favorite. The story goes that the dev working on that section of the game was a Duke graduate, so he named the character Tarhiel, a play on the mascot of Duke's rival UNC. Growing up in NC you'd know just how big that rivalry is.

[@bigcgaming9042]

4:06 I notice you have the exact same shotgun with a silencer like Anton has in the movie

[@iragremka]

Oh that ending was a nice teaser of what's to come.. can't wait to see what Starfield has to offer in terms of Easter Eggs! Goodluck, Guru!

[@rust3871]

i LOVE how you look at the stars and the starfield theme begins to play, such a smart addition to this masterpiece.

[@pax1913]

The editing in this video was gorgeus, congratulations. The audio edit, cropping I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire, to introduce Fallout 3, already made me smile and leave a like, then I got so glad to see all the comments praising your work from long-time subs. KZbin nailed it with this recommendation!

[@FunWithGuru]

Thanks so much! I was pretty happy with how this one turned out. 😊💙

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

I'm willing to bet that the Lincoln head Brahmin being in Fallout:NV was a mistake. That Brahmin model is from Fallout 3 and was used for a quest wherein a caravan returns the head to the monument. Since the two games share an engine and many assets, it's likely that a developer accidentally placed down the wrong Brahmin model in that location. It wouldn't be the only time such a thing occured with Fallout: NV.

[@YourFavoriteVampireSuccubus]

Lmao i was so caught off guard by the kid being shot XD

[@dripsorrow5620]

[@osmaine2755]

Excellent video, no talking, clear, with references, good editing, 10/10

[@elystel5856]

No need to watch the full video to tell it is going to be another one of your hundreds of masterpieces; I know you've been told the same thousands of times, but you're one of the very best content creators on this platform.

[@FunWithGuru]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Breadelvis]

It's so rare to see a really well made video , calm , relaxing , and interesting. Its some of the best editing I've seen in a while

The cut at the end while the MC is looking at the sky full of stars is just beautifully directed, hats of to you guru! Been a fan of your since around 2012 always been nice to see your content growing up

[@Nappp.]

Any of you guys remember Guru’s old channels? PS3 GuruKid, GuruKidHD or even the music channel he experimented with Affinitie like 11 years ago lol. If you see this Guru, been subbed through it all since I made my KZbin account. Hope you’re doing well mate and thank you for all the content over the years. Much love

[@hangonthereslick7092]

Bro when he pulled out the shotgun on butch had me dying 😂

[@RooksTheHobo]

Excellent editing!! I loved that Starfield tease at the end, looking forward to seeing your videos on it!

[@Big_Iron_Tomkus]

That transition from New Vegas to Skyrim was really good.

[@gouinp4669]

I simply love the way you’re doing the transitions between games everytime, with music and stuff, editing at it’s finest !!

[@LifelessTooth]

Also fun fact - the Constellation logo in Starfield is based on the alternate Fallout history's version of NASA's logo (called the USSA) as seen in the astronaut suit in Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta, as well as in Fallout 76

[@FunWithGuru]

I just looked it up and that's a really interesting theory! I believe people looked into it and it seems more likely it was influenced by a NASA patch from 1988. I really hope there's a USSA reference in Starfield though!

[@oldred7438]

Dude, this is some of the best editing I've seen on youtube. It might actually be the best. Great video.

[@MrPotatosquid]

1:30 Such a clever transition from Anakin's charred corpse to "I Don't Want to set the World on Fire". Very fitting 👌.

[@moviefact1]

What fantastic sound editing in this video! Many great small details that lift the quality of the whole video.

[@Sbomb16]

The "You look nice today!" easter egg in Fallout 4 spawns a pretty tough sentry bot when you open the door, which is arguably a bigger f*ck you than the previous one in Fallout 3

[@xtropiikz7595]

Ending the video with the Starfield theme slowly starting to play as you look up at the stars was a nice touch!

[@kellex4857]

You are an artist. Nice touch by the end looking at the starts, with Starfield theme, foreshadowing your videos for it. 10/10

[@Volehead]

It just me hit me that it’s been a decade and some change since I first found you! I love the nostalgia I always get from your channels. I first watched the Skyrim Easter eggs from 11 years ago. Loved every bit of this channel.

1:29 😅 That transition was genius. Well done! 👏👏

[@wdgaminganddisneyhistory6024]

One of the first references in the series I caught was in New Vegas. However, it wasn't the Indiana Jones reference. It was the Star Wars 1977 release, where Uncle Owen and his wife got burned to death. I found it right inside of Nipton, and had to look it up to make sure I wasn't crazy! Needless to say it was that and the Holy Hand Grenades (from Monty Python and the Holy Grail) in the basement of a building in Camp Searchlight.
