NPC's in this game suffer from severe amnesia on side-quests

[d4rkie]

Please correct me if anyone posted the same thread and I missed it ><

I'm getting close to the finish line of the main story quest and realised just how much it bugs me when just 3 side quest lines actually recognise your character in the game. In Limsa and Gridania it can get hugely comical when you approach the guildmaster to get a lvl 1 side-quest and she doesn't recall your face even if seconds before you handed in your lvl 15 quest to her.

I get it that it's hard to script the dialogue for NPCs so they change they behaviour depending on character's save data, but as it stands now - the side-quests are bland. I wonder if devs are thinking of changing this in future patches, or the way it is now is how they envisioned from the start - total amnesia for NPCs outside their quest line.

Yea I found this funny as well.

I'm a level 50 Goldsmith and later in the story quest... Minor spoilers, sorry I don't know how to do the spoiler/hide button :P













You have to get some clothing made, and you have to talk to the Goldsmith guild leader. She doesn't recognize me, doesn't ask me to do it myself since I'm obviously capable, doesn't even /wave at me!
