Why do you think there are so many references in the game? A ROMEO ROMEO Down here though it's all pop culture all the time. A ROMEOINSTAL There's two good reasons and one bad one, I reckon. ROMEO Good reason one is to show respect for a source of inspiration. A ROMEO All art is imitative, and a well-placed reference acknowledges that fact without disrupting the flow of the work. Oh, like homages? ROMEO Yes, exactly. Good reason two is to create a sense of camaraderie with the audience. Including a reference signals to the audience that the author shares their life experiences and loves all the same things. What's the bad reason? ROMEO When it's used as a substitute for actual content. Using a lazy reference because you couldn't think of a line. yourself is as bad as using a cliche. ROMEO One other important thing is, the perfect reference is visible to those who get it, but invisible to those who don't. SPAX ROMEOAMIN If it's obvious that it's a reference but you don't know what it's referencing, that makes you feel excluded from an in-joke. 2 STEPA ROMEO You must hate this quest then! ROMEO SAL Yeah...
