To me it breaks the immersion. I know it's a scripted quest, and I'm trying my best as new character to consider this as something that has just recently happened, not something that has been done thousands of times. I dunno, as soon as someone RPs something that makes me think of the OOCness of it, it loses a touch of it's mystique. Lately I've felt even the same about Johan, because seriously, his wife hasn't been sick for 50 years, he hasn't asked for around 25000 pelts.
This kinda crosses over into the issue of say Captain Garent and the constant abuse he gets. "Oh sure sure all he does it walk the streets of Hlint, ask him for help and he ignores you.". No. That's all we're really capable of or want to spend the time on for NPC ambience.
Perhaps it just loses it's humour after a couple years, or maybe it's my dev mind asking myself every time "How can we make every event dynamic", then again maybe I'm being a bit of a sourpuss.
Just a discussion I thought I'd throw out there.
