Mass Effect Easter Eggs
John Wilkes Booth Reference
Entry Location:
Planet Noveria
On the planet Noveria when you are in the hot labs with the Russian doctor tells you of the plasma purge ask him for the codes and a Rachni solider will kill him. Don't get the codes off his body and go to the V.I. - you only have two options, leave or mumble something. Choose mumble, then Shepard will mumble "Sic Semper Tyranns" which John Wilkes Booth said after shooting president Lincoln.

Old Bioware Nods
Nihlus the first Spectre you meet is a nod to Darth Nihlus in KOTOR 2 they even have the same face paint.
The Selkath undewater base in KOTOR 1 has the same name as the rift station in Mass Effect where you confront the Rachni.
A lot of characters in Mass Effect are similarly named to races and characters in the KOTOR games like the Thorian refers to the Ithorians from KOTOR, Saren's injuries (geth implants) are a reference to to Malaks face injuries in KOTOR cuz before they both betray the good guys the get badly damaged in a fight of some sort.

Shifty-looking Cow
Entry Location:
Ontarom
When you find Ontarom (Dead Scientists assignment takes place here) look for the gold deposit, around it is a herd of cows that look more like lizards and deer put together. One cow is labeled "shifty-looking cow" if you try to talk to it nothing will happen, but when you walk away it will steal some of your credits (don't worry it's only about 8). There's no way to take them back either, even if you kill it.
