Easter Eggs in this game seems few and far between, so share them here!

I've noticed but one, this counts more as an interesting thing. Go to the fountain in Arnika right under the water (where it's coming out) and look up. I think this is valid for all water drops.

EDIT: I changed the title.

The Retro dungeons are a big easter egg, to quote my web site:

Quote:
Below are maps for the three (3) easter egg dungeons that can be found in Wizardry 8. They are often referred to as "Retro Dungeons" because they appear in the classic grid format as used in the original Wizardry (Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord) and subsequent games. One thing often asked is, why are they called "easter eggs"? This is due to the fact they are not a part of the game, no dialog anywhere will inform the player of their existence, the only clue was the presence of three sets of six runes (or icons) which were to be found, plus a nearby object requiring a specific item.
Check out http://wiz8.web1000.com/RetroMaps.html for the details (note, the page includes "floor maps" to each dungeon, so don't scroll down the page if you'd rather not see them). Also, if you click on one of the maps, you'll get step-by-step instuctions on how to activate access to that dungeon.

Yamir actually have an EWAXX login name, but he doesn't have a password! Well, not that you can find, anyway. When mindread him all he thinks about is Yamo.

Rodan doesn't have an EWAXX account. Sucks to be him.

You can mindread the two Mooks (Urq and Screg) for amusing results.

you can get inside some of the NPC's. If you stand in just the right place when dismissing Vi, she appears around your POV. If you stand in the right place the following others can do the same: Shaman Das on the 7th Bough; Al-Sedexus when you first meet her; Some of the Undead who appear when you disturb corpses; the Undead Head in the Coffin (not quite all the way inside, but it's interesting when it bobs its head into you)
I once posted some screen shots from inside Vi, when i was Otter, but i dunno if i can find them any more...

All Jagged Alliance players will recognize the mercenary on the wanted sign in the umpani base (it's Sheila "Scope" Sterling).
