What is up with the fact that 90% of the books and manuscripts in the game are recipes? Is Julia Child one of the designers? I know documents in most games are there to provide "flavor." But the people at Larian seem to have taken that literally. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

BTW, has anyone tried any of the recipes? I thought "Chaos Cookies" sounded kind of tasty.

It seems like food is a big part of fantasy writing. If you ever read the LOTR trilogy you'll find that on every other page they talk about food. I think its good to know what food people eat in the fanatsy world your playing in because it somehow makes you more emersed in the environment and setting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm I doubt whether it's that much. Maybe that's all you've found. I wrote 2 or 3 'proper' ones, which should (in theory) work. Imp Pyee however, isn't likely to result in much success, unless you can find a nice fat imp, of course!
