This can cover a broad array of topics, but basically, with someone with my particular RP style (abiding by the lore given out by NPC dialogue), how does one negotiate particularly 'player realities' versus what the lore posits?
The immediate example that comes up is the number of male miqo'te player characters. The lore says that male miqo'te are extremely rare and hard to come by; indeed, there are as many male Miqo'te NPCs as there are fingers on one hand (NOAH dude, and the Forgotten Springs dudes; haven't done all the job/class quests). Go to Gridania, and all the Keeper NPCs are female. Go to Limsa Lominsa, and all the Seeker NPCs are female.Â
So how does one rationalize this? My character sort of said (just said IC in fact) that it's just an Adventurer Guild thing...out in the world you'll hardly see them, but within the guilds (Quicksand, Carline Canopy, etc.), they're all over the place just because that's the nature of how adventurers are.
Curious to hear ideas not only about that, but any other 'NPC vs PC lore clashes' that people might come up with.
