    More quests involving Lore of Races.

    From what I have seen a lot of times. There really isn't enough emphasis on the lore of the races in the game. Each race, sub-race-type in the game should honestly have its own quest chain involving the lore of it. Digging deeper into their knowledge and how they act and operate in Eorzea.

    I actually hate questing. Mostly because it involves doing things I really don't care about, and in the end most quests of the game you really don't learn much about the area or its people.

    Quests shouldn't be there just to give experience, they should be there to expand the lore of the world.

    I am fully in support of this idea. A few of the races really need more lore in general (Hellsguard, Duskwight).

    A while back someone also proposed Class-based dailies in order to expand class lore. I'd love that, too.

    Edit: I'm not sure why you needed to edit the OP to state that you hate questing, though. It was fine the way it was.

    I'd be all for this. I was especially disappointed to not have encountered any kinda of Hellsguard community (albeit small) whilst exploring the Heavensward areas, particularly in the Abalathia region.

    The Hellsguard are a small clan of Roegadyn that have carved out a home in the north of Abalathia's Spine. It is clan tradition to enter the mercenary trade; thus the Hellsguard took to giving themselves easily remembered names made up of words in the common tongue. They are a common sight on the streets of Ul'dah, earning a living as sellswords or bodyguards.

    To be fair with that argument, you're above Abalathia's Spine in Heavensward, hence being called "Netherling" by the Vanu. The Hellsguard are down on the surface.

    True, but they didn't have to do it that way. We could've had a surface zone, either included or separate. Feels like they did that just to skip over their own lore to be honest.

    Is it only me who think that the goblin called me "uplander" because I'm the "highlander"?

    lol.

    This has been discussed on the Lore forums, and we believe it's because the Goblins in XIV likely originate from somewhere to the south of Eorzea. Now, look at a map. North is up. So they're essentially calling you a Northerner.

    Yes. There is apparently widespread racism against the Duskwight, but I have yet to see any of it directed against my character. Which I've found quite disappointing.

    Doesn't surprise me, it'd be nice if NPCs acknowledged us more than just our gender sometimes. I'm from a race with a history of piracy, I figured that'd make some people be more wary around me too. :P

    Haha, yes. Sometimes I wonder if Dragon Age spoiled me when it comes to stuff like this. Bioware are masters of game world interactivity. Especially Inquisition, so much can change depending on who your character is.
