* A random encounter in the Denerim Market District has nine cats standing in a row. This is the infamous "Zombie Kitten Army" made famous by developers and regulars on the original BioWare forums. For those who purchased the ''[[Feastday Gifts and Pranks|Feastday Pranks]]'', the [[Cat Lady's Hobble-Stick]] seems to make the cats come out a bit more often and also move about a bit more.

* During the succession crisis in [[Orzammar]], you may come across two criers—one for [[Bhelen|Prince Bhelen]], one for [[Pyral Harrowmont|Lord Harrowmont]]. Regardless of which candidate you support, after the succession has been decided, the "news of the hour" reported by the winner's crier ends with "Epic fail!" 'Epic fail' is sometimes described by tabletop RPG folk as "rolling a one." In recent years, it has spread as part of internet culture wherein a person or group fails spectacularly.
