  • All of Johannes' dialogue is in verse. He even hums along to his own background music!
  • "Baby Blues":
    • Conan is frustrated with dealing with the de-aged kobolds to the point of grumbling that he wishes he was dealing with a murder investigation.
    • The de-aged Brody is still saying "bro".
    • Conan says they have to figure out what de-aged the kobolds before the situation is used as the basis for a sitcom episode and he'll never get taken seriously enough to get his own crime procedural episode and anime series.
    • The Great Magician Leonardo turns out to be the one responsible for de-aging the kobolds. He sends the player out to retrieve experimental potions he left out that should turn them back to normal, but have a chance to make things worse. The description of the potions summarizes the frustration the player character is feeling about the situation.
      These things better work, or Conan will get to investigate a murder victim after all. The victim? The Great FREAKING Magician Leonardo.
  • "Brenda's Reckoning":
    • After Karen complains about her rival Brenda and her pie, the player asks what's wring with the pie. Karen admits that the pie itself is fine and will probably win the dessert competition, but she hates Brenda.
    • The apples the player is tasked with gathering are described as "an agent of Brenda's reign of baking terror".
  • "Brody's BroRace":
  • "Building Bridges":
  • "Candlelight Vigil":
    • Mallory asks the player to light a candle to guide her deceased husband Ferdinand's soul to the afterlife. After the player agrees to do so, she refers to him as Francis. When the player questions this, Mallory says that she mixed up Ferdinand with her fifth late husband. Upon the player's return, she says Frederick must be overjoyed. The player's only response to this is "...How many husbands have you had?"
    • The description for the Vigil Candle says that it looks and feels like "one of those cheap candles that comes in packs of 40."
  • In "Can I Axe You a Favor", Johannes thanks the player for getting him an axe by singing to them. The experience is described as leaving the player with "a renewed appreciating for both the theatric arts and the logging industry".
  • "Chaos From Above": After the birds are scared off, Konrad says that while he may be a seasoned adventurer, he draws the line at avian feces. The player can only wonder "Just...avian...?" in response.
  • "Chasing Away the Blues":
  • "Crowspiracy":
    • Nicolaj believes that birds don't actually eat seeds. He plans to test this by... feeding them birdseed from a bag. Even the description of the birdseed is incredulous about this oversight.
      He had to have read the label, right? He had to have seen that this is called "birdseed", right?
    • The end result of the experiment is that birds have been confirmed to eat seeds and there are now crows all over Arrowpeak Village. The narration describes the latter fact as "someone else's problem".
  • "Curry Conquest":
  • "Hats and Hat Nots":
    • Halla enthusiastically tells the player that the Ogasa told him to guard an empty storeroom at the edge of their village and that it's really important, so he shouldn't talk to other people too much.
    • The Arrowpeak and Ogasa trashed each other's villages with… arrows and hats, respectively. Their descriptions sound unimpressed about how seriously the villagers are taking the objects' presence.
      Arrowpeak Arrow: An arrow. The tip is pretty dull, though... You wouldn't be able to do much damage with this.
      Ogasa Hat: Ok... so they just tossed a bunch of hats everywhere? Was this supposed to be threatening?
    • Gladiolus compares the situation to an anime she likes, Don't Forget, My Name Is Captain Dynamo!, and says Arrowpeak village leader Sven even looks like Captain Dynamo. Except Sven doesn't have metal for blood, and Captain Dynamo wears a helmet.
    • Mikelle offers to dispense some of Ogasa village leader Janna's wisdom to the player. No matter the topic selected, the advice is always "At the end of the day, a good hat on your head is the first step to progress".
    • One of the questions you can ask Rina about hats is where they come from. She responds by promising to explain it when the player character is older.
  • "Hat's Day Out":
    • The plot of this quest is taking a kobold's hat on a day trip around Lakeroot Valley. While the player initially bemoans what they've gotten themselves into, they quickly warm up to the concept.
    • Two options are presented when Berndt asks the player to take the hat out. One is an uncertain "Ummmm sure?", but the other has the player claim they already have plans with another hat.
  • "Lost Shoes":
    • "Shoes" turns out to be a vintage Vexrat plushie that Edge floats down the river every day.
    • Several dams are currently blocking the river, which is why Edge tasks the player with blowing them up with dynamite she saw lying around. As she and the description of the dynamite put it, why would it be left lying around if it wasn't intended to be used on the dams?
  • "Love's Labors Lacerated":
  • "A Novel Romance":
    • What little we see of Winter's Eternal Spring has some very cheesy writing.
      "But before Rowan could think too much about Bastion's mouth, Bastion's mouth was on Rowan's mouth, and their mouths were kissing."
    • Halla got a page of the book stuck to his arm because he somehow forgot he spilled jelly on himself, tripped and broke a plate after making sandwiches, knocked over a jar of marbles while getting a broom... The player cuts him off before he can explain further, either with a request for the book page or yelling at him to stop because his life is "bumming (them) out".
    • The player can regularly ask the other NPCs about why the book has scorch marks on it. Mikelle freaks out about the possibility that someone set it on fire and assumes Halla was responsible, while Halla says that while he might've dropped it in the sink a few times, he tried really hard to not set it on fire. It turns out Scrapps shot it out of a homemade cannon that he denies owning.
    • Just as Rowan is about to reveal who they long for, their sentence cuts off abruptly with a "to be continued" in the next book of the series.
  • "Over and Out":
  • "Pizza Parkour":
    • The restaurant Daryn delivers pizzas for has a policy where if a pizza doesn't arrive within twenty minutes, the customer doesn't have to pay for it. Naturally, he has to deal with a customer trying to game the system by ordering from a location he can't reach: the roof of a building in Arrowpeak Village. To accentuate this, the camera pans over to show the customer, Cedrik, standing on the roof.
    • Daryn only got a job delivering pizzas so he could slack off between deliveries.
      Daryn: Now (...) I can get back to doing what's important: eating day-old pizza while looking at memes in the back until another order comes in.
  • "Pie in the Sky":
    • Word has spread about how Cedrik ordered pizza off the roof to cheese the free delivery policy, resulting in several other customers ordering from the roof to take advantage of Daryn having short legs and being unable to reach them in time. The company ends up giving away enough free pizza that Daryn's boss decides the best way to deal with the situation is to purchase pizza delivery drones.
    • At the end of the quest, Daryn comments that with the money his boss spent on drones, they could've just as easily bought a ladder so he could reach the roofs.
  • The player has some very goofy dialogue when freeing the animals during "Poofy Poachers":
    (Freeing Poofy): YOU'RE FREE, POOFY! RUN ALONG HOOOOME!
    (Freeing the baby kiteray): BABY KITERAYS BELONG WITH MAMA KITERAYS!!!
    (Freeing the feralbatross): FLY AWAY, LITTLE FERALBATROSS! STAY AWAY FROM OLD MARINERS!!
  • "Pyramid Scheming":
  • "Seasonal Tea": It's possible to ask Rina to lecture about why each ingredient in the tea is important. This prompts her to start infodumping about what the ingredients do. Every other dialogue box has an "OK OK ENOUGH" option while she's rambling, with it becoming the only option after she talks about the herbs growing faster when exposed to certain kinds of music.
  • "Stray Puppies":
    • The puppies are described vaguely enough by Edge that they could plausibly be real puppies, only being revealed to be toys when the player finds them. After they question the Seraph about losing her stuffed animals, she defensively states they're collectibles, not toys... only to almost immediately start talking to them as if they were alive.
    • The description of the toy puppies says they were only available to preorder for an hour and required answering several difficult questions to access the order form. Edge somehow has five of them.
  • "Treehouse of Hope":
    • Skeet Pelson is highly enthusiastic about building/restoring the unity treehouse. The possible responses to him are either enthusiastic to a similar caliber as Skeet or much more uncertain.
    • The updated version of the quest has Skeet Pelson describe the treehouse as a safe place for youths of both villages, where "nobody falls through rotting plywood".
  • "The Trial of Five Brodys":
  • "Ultimate Refreshment": Skald starts off the quest by suggesting that the player could be a hero to Feral's rare beverage enthusiasts, to which the player has the option of questioning how many "rare beverage enthusiasts" there are in the first place.
  • "Well Wishes":
    • Nicolaj has the player checking whether a well is suspicious by dropping coins in it. Upon dropping the coins, the well turns into a Myrefolk named Earnest. Earnest and Nicolaj both start screaming; in the latter's case, he runs away.
      Nicolaj: WELLS ARE PEOPLE! WELLS ARE PEOPLE!
    • Earnest was cursed to be a well after sending Granny Gertrude a repair bill because her puppets chewed up the wood in his house. He then says he's going to demand she pays double the bill as payback for the time he lost as a well. The narrator notes that he sounds on-track to getting cursed again, with one of the dialogue options quoting the narration verbatim.

     Blood Tundra 
  • "Captain Cluck":
  • "Dry or Die":
    • Savvy Jack has invented paper towels that seek out messes after they get wet. The problem is that his ship crashed in the lake and the paper towels are still on board, so they'll go on a rampage to destroy all of the Tundra's water if they make contact with the lake. The player's possible responses to this information are either "THAT'S NOT A 'LITTLE' PROBLEM" or "EVIL PAPER TOWEL. EPIC."
    • The player has to parkour across the wreckage in the lake with the paper towels to get back to shore. Should they fall in the water, a message will pop up saying "NO! This must NOT come to pass, lest all of Feral be doomed by cleaning products! AGAIN."
    • Savvy Jack offers the player a discount on his merchandise. It starts at ten percent off, gets lowered to five percent in the next sentence, and becomes three percent by the end of the conversation with him, prompting the player to muse that they're pretty sure he said it was a five percent discount earlier. After the player returns the paper towels, it becomes a two percent discount that's only applicable during random and unannounced sales.
  • "Finding Pants":
  • "Finding Vann":
  • The beginning of "The Lonely Snowbold" has a dialogue option where you can say Wynn's snowbold needs about four more eyeballs.
  • "Loyal Spectre":
    • At one point, the narration comments that the Rootpup's ghost is "somehow one of the least frightening things you've seen in the Tundra".
    • In the original version of the quest, the Rootpup is made of Kitsune body mods rather than using a custom model and has a gap between its upper body and hind legs. That version has an extra line of narration that comments about the Rootpup missing part of its body and that they don't think that's been properly addressed.
  • During "Old Wounds", Luka is at the Wayfarer skeleton. Talking to them reveals they heard the player was investigating the skeleton and decided to keep a "watchful, unblinking, bright red eye" on them. They then ask if that makes the player feel uncomfortable or not.
  • "Runaway Broomsticks" sees the broomsticks of three Myrefolk witches escape into the Tundra. Even before it's outright stated to be the case, it's heavily implied Alma let the brooms escape on purpose so she could visit the Tundra and make her sisters fight for no reason.
  • "Serial Chiller": Luka tells the player to go find decapitated Snowbolds in an effort to find who's vandalizing them, saying that following the path of destruction should lead them to the killer... or serial chiller.
  • "Snow Cone Collation":
    • Skip has been ordered by her boss to set up a snowcone stand... in the Blood Tundra. She is understandably not pleased about being sent to a place where people disappear regularly.
    • Skip's idle animation for this quest is stomping her right foot while pumping her right arm up and down, jerking about all the while. It's strange-looking enough that many players have wondered if the animation is working as intended. note 
    • One of the snowballs the player has to collect is a yellow one. Its description notes that for some reason, it doesn't seems as appetizing as the other ones.
  • "Up The River":
    • The quest's description is worthy of a chuckle.
      The Blood Tundra has received a most unexpected visitor, much to the bewilderment of pretty much everyone else. Please make her leave.
    • The visitor is a Seraph named Karen, who somehow ended up in the blood lake after taking a boat ride down the river in Lakeroot Valley. She's very upset about the only person who tried to help her being Luka and demands to see the leader of the Blood Tundra. It's possible to tell her the leader of the Blood Tundra is Luka, only for her not to believe you because if Luka really was in charge, they wouldn't have let Karen yell at them for as long as she did.

     Mugmyre Marsh 
  • "Hello Yell-o" stars a Twiggle painter by the name of Govan Vincent, who combines his species' trademark enthusiasm with more sophisticated vocabulary. The player has to get him the secret ingredient for his yellow paint... Yell-o pudding.
  • "Suckered In" has the player removing giant green suckers from the roofs of the houses in Sporeville.
  • "Cannon Countdown":
  • "Scratch My Back":
    • We finally get to see Granny Gertrude's creepy puppets. Their description is just as perturbed about them as everyone else is.
      Ohhh sweet sugar Twiggles, this thing is TERRIFYING.
    • The backscratcher is a bird's foot tied to a spine with a fin at the end. The game calls it a "Backscratcher…?" and the description wonders if it always looked like that.

     Items 
  • The description of the Bowling Ball Return asks that people not crawl in it to see where the bowling balls come from, as it isn't "nearly as fun as it seems".
  • The Stone item has the description: "Just like my mother-in-law's heart".

     Other 
  • During Early Access, the Twiggles' dialogue was overhauled to be written less like excitable children, justified in-universe as there being a 'Twiggle translation patch' released to make their dialogue more accurate. Post-update, their dialogue is peppered with British slang.
