(4) Make ALL dialogue go off QUEST FLAGS, not Achievements. If you don't have the actual quest flag for having *personally* defeated Molag Bal on this character, nobody calls you the person that ended the Planemeld. If you don't have the quest flag for having *personally* ended the Llodos Plague, nobody notes that you've done it - even though the Achievements say you've done it on another character.

I'm not sure this last bit would work very well with Cadwell's Silver and Gold, where you're supposed to go back to being some anonymous character (at least, as far as NPC dialogues go).

Caldwell's quests are still tracked per character, not per account. All quests except a few confirmed are still tracked per character. Most NPCs do flag off completed quests. There is no reason why ALL of them can't. Quests reflect a character's personal journey, and all NPCs should react accordingly to keep immersion relevant.

Confirmed broken NPCs found so far have been recorded in this thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/600993/results-of-account-wide-achievements-testing-on-live-npc-interactions/p1

I can speak for myself only, as in the absolute fact I am in no way wanting or trying to bring anyone "down". My full reason for posting here was to shed light on what would have been considered "catastrophic" and to whom that view would be perceived from. For me, as a paying customer (for another 46 days), I have a vested interest in this game to succeed for a number of reasons. I want someone to step up and take responsibility and take the steps to remedy this before it got to this stage.

So much potential in this game. I am not going anywhere as of now, I will NOT continue to pay any more for which feels to me like contributing to the rewards of bad habits and actions.
