    Here's a crazy idea: the NPC's in Honeywood are all ridiculously OP because the developers wanted only the strongest and smartest players to be able to defeat them. The reason they did this is because once a hero actually manages to defeat a Honeywood NPC they'll find a clue on its corpse leading them to a massive Westworld-style mystery where the plot twist is that the Honeywood NPC's were the real players all along, and the game has actually been a medieval shopping simulator where all the players make their own shops and sell their wares and give quests to the NPC adventurers.

      Always find it funny when you start an mmorpg and kill some Dragon at lvl 30, and then in the next area fight some lvl 40 rabbits that would have kicked said dragons ass XD

    It's nice to see Hamish win one, once in awhile.
    Most of the time I feel bad for his characters.
    Such good acting. My day is not complete without a laugh (sometimes a cry) from VLDL.

      What needs to happen is his store character getting crossed with this one and pulling the sword out on Rowan next time he super overcharges him or doesn't order his computer for half a year, like that time Alan did with Greg during "We're closed" :)

    I would’ve thought Rowan might’ve warned about the NPCs a little harder, especially after Greg almost stabbed him and used his angry voice

      No, he would enjoy watching his friend learn the lesson.
      That's something one can't never learn from books and manuals.

    I’m not surprised he’s so over powered, he’s lost all his money from trading, had to sell his children, had all his stuff stolen, his wife left him, and he had to pay 10,000 gold to a random adventurer and couldn’t feed all his children.
    When he pulled out the sword, that was the TRUE fruit salesman!
