** The emotion or intention of certain characters can also be identified in their text. When characters respond angrily the scratching of the pen against the paper will sound more aggressive and the words will vibrate; and when they shout, ink splatters will appear around the shouted words.

* HolyHalo: In an ironic twist due to his general behavior, Saint Grobian is the only character in the game that features one (outside of when the characters visit manuscripts or books), this due to the fact that he's the only character with the title of "saint" (despite being a made up character and not a real church saint or even a real person for that matter). [[note]]To clarify, he's a folk character made up to be the "Patron Saint of crude manners" by satirist Sebastian Brant, and not a real church saint or even a real person.[[/note]]

** It is unlikely that a small town the size of Tassing would have had access to a printing press, which were generally only found in established shops in large cities in the early years of their invention. Josh Sawyer acknowledged this in a 2023 Game Developers Session talk and said he attempted to use various visual tricks to make the town look bigger than it actually is to mitigate it.

*** There were no windmills in early modern Bavaria, as its high altitude and hilly terrain make it poorly suited for them. Indeed, the only two windmills in modern day Bavaria were built elsewhere and moved there to go on display in museums.

One of her three standard responses is the already-cold "I'm sure. No.", but playing her with the Barbs reputation offers the incredibly cruel quip of "I'd rather have my chest crushed under Paul's heaviest millstone."]]
