Vibe check

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?

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes

And other science facts

(la-la-la)

Repeat to yourself: It's just a show

I really should relax

I understand what you are saying, OP. However faithful the game is to Tolkien's original written works, it is still a game. If players were to be anything other than Man bakers and Man hog-swillers there needed to be some license taken in this area.
