It feels like NPCs in side quests are too nice and reasonable

How far along are you? There are definitely some side quests where even a people person like the Warrior of Light gets a frosty reception. You may not be seeing them yet. And I don't mean just current expansion. I just went through Stormblood on an alt and there are plenty there.

I've done all the side quests that aren't locked behind Eureka progression. And initial reception isn't what I'm necessarily concerned about. It's more that all problems are resolvable with the power of friendship and/or murder. Real people hold grudges and are inconsolable. Real people have unfixable trauma. The MSQ deals with those themes, but the side quests generally don't, with the exception of the raid series sometimes. But I'm mostly thinking of the side quests where the resolution isn't murdering a weapon of war.
