Why is race and nationality ignored so much in the lore? (why does the lore fail)

[Gramul]

I study / work with behavioural economics and neuroscience. So essentially i know the scientific reasons behind what makes the average person enjoy a game, why they enjoy it, what parts of the brain are active during specific tasks in a game, etc.

Not really the main point of my post, but that's completely fascinating and not at all unbelievable.
Especially how you misspelled behavioral. (Just kidding, I know it's probably a typo)

That being said, I completely support the idea of more fantastic "real" quests.
