I tried looking this up on the internet but couldn't find anything. It's about the backstory of a character.

When I make a guy and get "Was tortured by his parents" or "Pondered for many years" or whatever else, do those things affect my character in any way? I always assumed they do but nobody ever mentions them.

So I'm curious, is it known what they do?

Also, sometimes special messages like "Two headed calf was born the knight you were," or "Undead were seen leaving" used to show up. I don't know what they did, but I haven't seen any yet in version 59. Do they still happen?
