Why do some of the characters are strange like:

The janitor which will kill someone
The fisherman at brimhaven which is a frog
Pangitain which is a filifino
Zimsko which always wants a beer

They are all in brimhaven

Sorry if theres wrong in my grammar because I'm a filifino

The game content has been developed by many people, and each person will add their own touch (and the other developers may not even know they are doing it).

I am responsible for some of the characters so I am interested in your oppinion.

The fortune teller could have a random name from some online fantasy name generator. Instead I invested time and used a not too obvious name from the filipino language. Hoping that people who know filipino will enjoy it and give a relation to my wives family in the filipines. Did you like it?

Same for Zimsko who wants a beer. OK he could stop asking you for beer after he gave you what you wanted. But how would a real drunkard react? He would ask you again and again. Maybe give him 100 beer and see what happens.

I created some more things like that. Not all have been found/reported yet. And I am always happy if someone finds and enjoys them.

I also sow a few things like that through what I create. I have no idea how many people have noticed them. I know of some more in the next release too, but they were only partially my doing.

I remember something about an RPG with a golden cow that gave lots of gold when killed (it was really easy too) I found it while exploring the map at a really low level, it was also wayyy off course from any quests and stuff plus avoiding the monsters was not easy.
I'm not sure if it was andors trail but point is, nice touch 😂

No golden cows in AT I'm afraid.

Sort of on this subject, is Whootibarfag in the Yellow Is It quest supposed to be a reference to Slartibartfast from HHGG? The character's name and general attitude seem fairly similar - a sort of grumpy older guy who just wants to share his award-winning fjords wisdom, but these young people today seem to have no time for that...
