About Odin. True, he isn't very useful as a GF, but you can draw triple from him, which junctions quite well.
About random- that's why you manipulate card rules and get rid of random, and that is why you save before any risky card games...
My annoyances involve the card game actually- all of the time spent travelling back and forth trying to get good cards (card queen quest). Basically, anything that is repetitive like drawing all the top level spells from I's. C. T. Heav. or Hell.
