It is indeed a shout-out to a previous Bioware game, but it's earlier than even Neverwinter Nights. Chikktika Fastpaws was the deity Aerie worshipped in Baldur's Gate 2, and "Go for the eyes, Boo!" was one of Minsc's battle cries in the same game.

everything is false
everything is a LIE
the final days have come
now
let everything be destroyed
