This new Rube is not popular, he is not fun and he is a miserable miser. He doesn't even get angry properly now.
I know what Rube offers is based on your inventory, but I don't carry around most of my stuff, just bags to collect things in. Why does he look at my empty bags and think I am desperate for any meagre offering? No Rube, you cannot tempt me with your fried bread or onion sauce!
Why not make the Rube truly random? Think it would be much more fun.
