I don't and really shouldn't have to read every single patch notes to find something in a game as simple as a quest. I'm all for finding it out in game if I didn't have to just talk to hundreds of random NPC's that have no actual relation to what the actual quest is about they just happen to be the informer.

I'd have zero problem talking to any NPC if I could just say hey, do you know where this is? Chances are I could find the answer that way. But this is a video game after all so sometimes we need to at least be pointed in the right direction somehow and if it isn't doing it in game, there should be other means.
