Easter Eggs in Torment: Tides of Numenera

 * Adahn: A character created by the player through the power of belief in Planescape: Torment, and one of the names of the Changing God in Torment: Tides of Numenera.
 * Cranium rats: In the Memovira's Courtyard, if the player interact two times with the sulcus at the base of the central pylon, a memory will trigger, mentioning psychic rodents with powers increasing as they are more numerous. The cranium rats can be described the same way in Planescape: Torment.
 * Bronze Sphere: An important quest item in both games.
 * O: The exact same character (not just a copy) is present in both games.
