Other information

 * Paradise Lost is a real-life 17th century English epic poem by John Milton. As it is a piece of fine literature, the speech increase is expected.
 * If you hack Tulip's computer, you can read excerpts of the epic poem.
 * A curious contradiction can be observed when talking to Tulip: she explains that Underworld is based on this book which she says is about a man making a trip through the underworld. The book she is actually referring to and the one Underworld is based on (including references such as the ninth circle etc.) is actually Dante's Inferno, the first cantica of his Divine Comedy. Milton's Paradise Lost is an epic poem that concerns the Judeo-Christian story of the Fall of Man; the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
