Bedknobs and Broomsticks Easter Egg?

[Grayhound]

I just got an event saying how my daughter (previously suspected of being a demonspawn) has now bonded with a strange nanny whom I've never seen before. I then noticed that the nanny's name is 'Eglantine' and that she has the modifier 'Suspected of Witchcraft'.

Is this a reference to the 1971 Disney movie 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'? The main character there was a witch named 'Eglantine' so it seems like a huge coincidence if this isn't deliberate.

All of the randomly generated witches/nannies have names referencing popular witches like that. I think there was also Morgana and... crap, forgot the third one's name. You get the idea.

It's usually Jezebel, Morgana, and Circe.

Actually, I think this is more of a reference to "The Omen"...

This is a very fun event chain. Try not to have any more children because it would be fun to play as her

Yeah, it's pretty fun.
Unless you are playing as a Muslim and you get a daughter hellspawn.
If that happens, ragequitting is perfectly reasonable.

No time like the present to accept Jesus into your life. LUL

Ahh awesome! Thanks for clearing that up for me!

In order to play as the spawn of Satan, accept Jesus.
I'm not sure Christians would approve of that slogan

Hey, whatever gets bums on pews.

Ha, yes. I always think about the scene in the movie where the nanny hangs herself from the roof saying "Look at me, Damien! It's all for you!"
Granted, I think about that a lot.
