The other night, while levelling a toon through the Alliance side of Howling Fjord, I whispered a friend and told him that Allies get the better quests. I mean, none of my Horde toons ever got to sic a trained hawk on turkeys.

Today, on a different Ally toon, still in Westfall, I got proof that while Allies may get fun quests, they also get dumb NPCs.



Hey, Mama Celeste? I got those coyote tails and piles of dirt you wanted. You're planning to bake a pie? Really? 'Cause the coyotes have meat, too, I got some of that, d'you want-- no? Okay. Coyote meat isn't to everyone's taste, I guess. Still, there's these pigs out here too, they have some pretty tasty-- no? Uh-huh. How about eggs from the-- no?

Just dirt and coyote tails, huh?

Oooooh-kay. You have fun, there. No, really, I'm fine, you can keep my share of the pie.

Nyah! I am immune to your blandishments - SWTOR is Windows. :P I'm protected by my aura of Mac-ly faith!

Also, Mama Celeste being barefoot while holding the GIANT CLEAVER 'O DOOM is kind of amusing. XD

Hmmm... needs a discrete blood spatter going up across her outfit, just to sell the effect. Nothing over the top, just a kind of "interrupted work" sort of thing.

Yeeeeah. There are all these starving humans in Westfall, so desperate for something to eat that they're eating dirt and fur... while they're surrounded by pigs and other totally edible animals. /facepalm

Sometimes I wonder if quests are made out of some kind of randomizing generator, or if the writer got bored (Hey, let's slip this in and see if anyone notices) or lazy (Meh. It's quittin' time and I gotta a paycheck burning in my pocket, let's get this over with).

I suppose it goes along with everyone else at that farm being apparently crazy... but yeah, this is definitely one of WoW's "say WHAT?!" moments for me.

...Admittedly I had another of those moments at the idea of riding a flaming harpoon across a fjord in Northrend, but that was definitely cool. XD

When do you think you might have the next chapter of a fic up? Because if it's going to be awhile, I'm gonna need to to do something about these withdrawal symptoms I'm starting to develop.

No Rush! Just... a guesstament, please.
