Characters that are written to follow the lore to the absolute t tend to be uninteresting Imo. It's the other side of the coin of people who think they need to be a super special character to be interesting.Â
I want to meet characters who interact with the world. Nor just sit around the quicksand and chat about how they spend their day reading at the ossuray day in and day out telling me about some little lore tidbit that they read about.Â
At some point a character is going to have to go out on a limb and fill in their own lore at some point. Because it's entirely unreasonable to expect SE to have written every single detail into the world. I can only imagine how soul crushing it must feel to go to these lore panels knowing you're going to be bombarded by questions that probably never crossed their minds. Knowing they'll need a lot of improvising when they get asked a question like, how do these jellyfish fly? I honestly can't imagine that's something they thought about when it was designed.
I'm a bit sad that you think people playing mundane characters are uninteresting. If you need to play an elite edgy dragoon to go out interact with the world, because hell no, a standard gridanian gardening botanist sure can't as hell interact with the world... And especially not his piece of Black Shroud... Which sure isn't part of the WORLD.
Everyone will find their interest in different degrees of grandeur.
