This game never fails to amaze.. (EW Delivery Quest Spoilers)

Yeah he's a researcher, not an Instagram cam grubber. I didn't get the impression that he was that old, either. Certainly not rich - he had research grants. And he was tasked with identifying the best parts of other cultures by the Forum to help in preparation for the great exodus. With the exodus cancelled, he was free to drop the charade and admit he really liked his assistant. It's frankly pretty similar to the relationship I had with my husband when we first started dating; I was a senior in college and he was a 2nd year PhD student, TAing low level education classes. (I was not an education major so this was kosher.) Except instead of being an anthropologist studying other cultures, he was a educational sociologist studying informal education in our own culture.

The fisher quest, on the other hand, was a spot on assessment of the fear that a non-tenured professor feels when they don't have their current research project completed. That one hit way too close to home. PUBLISH OR PERISH

Edit: And the metalworking quest is pretty spot on about the petty backstabbing in academia, now that I think about it more.
