NPC questlines are... ridiculous.

I've done two playthroughs now and have yet to get a single questline past a second interaction and half of the NPCs I didn't even know existed until I looked at the wiki.

On one hand it's kinda cool that NPCs are like easter eggs that reward thorough explorers (which I thought I was) but on the other hand for fuck sake I can't find a single fucking one of these sneaky bastards. Also I keep losing vendors and I don't know why and I apparently have yet to access half the purchasable items in the game...

I think From went waaaaay too far with this.
