Trivia[]
- The game files use – partially – a different spelling for the town's name: "Nashkell". This can, for example, be seen on the road signs between Beregost and Nashkel. The established name, however, uses only a single "l".[1] Interestingly the wrong spelling was carried over to the German translation of the game, although the town in German lore is spelled the same way as in English.
- Several of the gravestones reference Bioware developers, including Chris Parker, Mark Darrah, Lukas Kristjanson, and Ray Muzyka. Feargus, whose gravestone reads "Is it done yet?" is likely a reference to Black Isle lead Feargus Urquhart.
