Everything I know, I learned from Daggerfall:

1. Your home can be just a hole in the ground and still be called a castle.

2. Pure water is yellow. (Perhaps it's passed through so many kidneys it has to be clean!)

3. Most people just wander aimlessly around all their lives, and hide whenever there's a danger to the whole community. Civic leaders, on the other hand, just stand around looking noble and delegate all jobs to bypassing strangers.

4. Shop muzak is amazingly annoying.

5. Ordinary fire can suddenly start emitting radio static.

6. Castle architects are rather confused megalomaniacs.

7. It's ok to put the lever that opens a gate in the far end of the castle; nobody minds walking five miles to open the door.

8. Nobody really cares whether you're dressed plainly or formally, or even parading around nude with a big knife in hand.

9. Cops are verbally challenged, highly violent people, to whom sleeping on the curb is a capital offense.

10. If you have nimble fingers, you can pinch some gold coins from rats, bats and immaterial ghosts, not to mention barenaked women.
