Ha - there's few on the planet that have a sense of humour as provocative as the Irish smile But maybe the Texans come close... I worked on a big(ish) IT project with some Texans a few years back. A company called Tektronix Communications (google tells me they've now merged with someone else). I like the Texans, I have to say. No airs and graces, good craic all the way.

You won't be disappointed if you visit Ireland, anyway. It's like you can't go wrong, and you have my word on that. Irish nightlife is the best you can get - but I'd personally recommend Dublin or Galway if you want the best of that. Sure, there are pretty places like Kerry to visit, but you can see nice mountains and trees everywhere. Come for the pubs, I say!

Hang on: were we supposed to be making suggestions on a video game? Put an Irish pub in the first big town, Larian! Come on now - they're everywhere. Even the French have them. Every fantasy world should have an Irish pub too, don't you know...
