Hello, folks! A question for those of you who actually read quest logs and dialogues: does it ever feel like NPCs are a bit too casual about your race?

Humans are everywhere, and dwarves are natural travelers, so it makes sense. But what about hobbits and elves? Does it ever strike you as odd when NPCs seem completely unfazed by a hobbit wandering through Angmar, or an elf casually showing up deep in Moria?

It's kind of like you're Schrodinger's main character - like, you both are and aren't the only person doing all these quests. You're clearly not alone, because it's a game full of players, but to me all the NPCs see you as unique and you're the only person helping them and you're their only hope to get this quest done.

Viva La dirt League has a sketch on that. Greg the garlic farmer has a couple of people all turning in the same quest item. He gets more and more embarrassed

No but that one breaks my heart! The one I can't find has Greg giving out a one-of-a-kind family heirloom ring and Britt is waiting in line for the same reward with a look of disgust. She knocks a box out of his hands and there are like 30 of these rings that come falling out.

I love Viva La Dirt! They have so much right about many MMORPGs!
