The basic thing i hate about talking to PS npcs is that 90% of what i ask about they know nothing about. and the 10% becomes boring too fast as you get annoyed when the NPCs can't answer your questions.

You always want to hear some details and want to the NPC to clarify something or you do something realy obvious and the NPC doesnt know what the heck and you are stuck. Normal person would give you more precise explanations and some directions, but with NPCs you are completly on your own.
I hate how they dont know where to find people they talk about and where are places they should know about and talk about.
NPCs may know a lot, but when they dont know some very imprtant thing for you, you are just stuck and bored.

I hate when i make a typo and they cant understand
I hate that i pointlesly repeat "tell me about" all the time and there is no buttom to insert it, no way to still ask the  actual questions you have to think about, but faster.

No, it is not rant, it is a different point of viev.

Alas, In time Oh Impatient ones!

Btw we are not moving to a graphical drop down tree, this argument has gone on all over the place and is always met with the same NO.

If players want to leave because of this there is little we can do.

Happy gaming.

I've asked on the forums, I've asked on IRC, and I"ll ask yet again on this post.

If you find a tough spot on triggering an NPC when you get through it - PM me (private message not a public post) the following information:
1) Name of the quest.
2) What you were trying to answer.
3) What you tried that did not work.

I will gladly look over submissions and use the material where I can.

Since you mentioned what they should know, let me also remind you of: Think NPCs are dumb? Click here!
