Description: 

There's a non-journal encounter with a Nord, Harryk the Rude, standing on the road west of Teyn. He offers you to buy a barrel of pickled fish for 50 drakes. If you do, he puts the barrel into your inventory implemented as a potion with 4 effects (one of them is drain personality 20) that last 900 seconds. The whole gimmik of the encounter is how Harryk the Rude speaks to you in a rude way (he uses a word guarsh*t which is too much, imo), and that the fish makes you stink (=drain personality).

The barrel-potion idea feels awkward. So, my suggestion is to make the barrel be a normal container that remains in place, and you can simply take the fish out (changed to dried slaughterfish instead of pickled so as to not invent a new ingredient). And I suggest to change that one word to make it less edgy.

Dunno how much vanilla uses

Dunno how much vanilla uses "shit", tho. If it doesn't, might still be better to replace with "dung" or something.
