I'm not convinced yet, OP. Here, please complete these simple but open ended prompts so I can see how you work.

Prompt #1: One town NPC regales another with the story of their encounter with a mudcrab.

Prompt #2: The player tries to turn down a quest from the local lord to find and return a stolen artifact. Come up with a reason the lord gives for why the player now has to do it anyway.

Prompt #3: An NPC wishes to show their appreciation to the player for saving them from bandits. What do they say/do? Description of NPC: elf, busty.

It's hightime for an NPC to call the player on their bullshit:

:v: So that's how you live your life? burgling people's property in the name of saving the world?!
:v: I see you killing that dragon, and giving not one poo poo about how the ecology here will adapt to this.
:v: yeah good job hero, creating all these new widows and orphans the city is not set to handle. GTFO!
