Eh, hello? We're talkin' bout evil here, bub.
Evil. Selfish. Doesn't help others just for
that warm fuzzy feelin' he gets from it. If
he helps at all, it's cash in advance, minimum.
Now, your goodie-two shoes nice guy (read good
aligned), going out of his way to help others
is perfectly normal for him. Now neutrals they
ride the fence, so it's not too hard to imagine
them takin' pity on the elf and such.
All these wonder boys who're doing this quest
aren't doing it because it's in character for
them.. if any other elf asked them for help,
they'd spit on his face or something. Except
this time, they know OOC if they help this one
elf, they get some kickass item automatically.
So hey, I'll do the quest, who gives a rats'
ass if it's something no self respecting
evil would do if he didn't have that OOC
knowledge about the quest ahead of time.
Personally I say nuke the damn quest, or
change it or something. Everyone an' his damn
inbred brother knows about it by now.
End of frickin' story.
