Be gone, reeker!

Yeah, it's a bit much, but since it's the main quest for the zone, they don't want to take a chance that you don't come across it easily.

And it's like right next to the way shrine, which is extra annoying because you can't really avoid it easily and still interact with the main hub.

You can.... you just exit the wayshrine in the other direction (for me, that's to my left and downhill). I have all the VA off so I don't hear it, and I also have the NPC subtitles off (sorry, I just HATE all that crap especially in a zone I have zero use for outside of antiquities) so I never have to bother with it.

Yeah, no use for Verandis at all, so if he gets gutted, that's a bonus.

I wish he would actually be gutted like a fish... but sadly that doesn't happen. If it were for me, every damn vampire NPC would get a wooden stake through their rotten heart... Verandis, Gwendis, Fennarion and whoever else is there.

As for the zone quest spam... they really need to change the way it works. I already dread the day I have to go to Necrom and get spammed by the insufferable Leramil the (Un)Wise.

Agreed. *tips hat*

I posted about this when Greymoor came out. This npc is screeching and yelling at the top of her lungs. Ugh. I finished the quest on my main toon to make her go away but any alts have to put up with her until they can get out of range.

The Tales of Tribute npc and Stuga have nothing on this.

Kavreiss

It's def excessive.

That's what the mute button is for.

House Ravenwatch have done some really heroic things. They're basically the Twilight type of vampires minus the sparkles and vegetarianism. My guy would protect them. That NPC is being so rude to Verandis and everyone around her with her loud yelling. 😤

It reminds me of a certain fellow in High Isle who can be seen in multiple locations saying "get away from me, you stupid thing!".

IDK if they've fixed it but the worst with him is doing the quest doesn't even fix it

That was one of the first quests I did in that zone the day it was released, and he was no longer there after I completed the quest.

(that's Ember's intro/unlock quest, so it's per-character. I.e., he'll still be there for any character who hasn't unlocked Ember.)

Just do the quest and be done with it ;-)

That's actually the reason I find them boring (except for Fennorian, who is okay somehow, but probably mostly because he's new to all this). It's such a trope in modern media. Why even create "vampire" characters if they're like every other non-vampiric person? Vampires can be such wonderfully tragic figures: The immortality - you'll see all your friends and family die. The hunger - you might have been a peaceful person before, but now you have to feed on living beings, to hunt and bite them like an animal. But no, modern media vampires just search for a donor, use hospital blood banks or go to the butcher. To each their own, of course, but to me, that sounds really superficial and bland.

I wouldn't want to do random main story quests in every zone I enter just to do an event quest or get to a crafting set station, and I think many people who quest prefer to play zones in a certain order? Just accepting the quest and leaving it in the quest log is also no real solution, as long as the log is so limited.

I'd honestly say this type of questgiver is my biggest pet peeve about the game. It's really bad in base game, and with each expansion's initial questgiver, like Leramil. Feels like they have NPCs spawn in some radius, so people adopt them easier. Which sounds nice in theory, but it winds up just being annoying. Questgivers should be in ONE place, and not right at the wayshrine either. It'd be less confusing and more immersive.

That's not a realistic solution for many people. There's only 25 quests I can accept, 7 of which are potentially crafting writs, so likely 13 to make room. Then I have the main quest which doesn't go away until you complete cadwell's gold. Then I have dailies I might be doing, etc. The problem is the quest delivery and how it dumps content on players in an intrusive way.

The worst is it doesn't go away once you do the quest. I was just strolling around High Isle for scenery and harvesting, and bro over there is having a meltdown about that floating thing in 4 different places as I ride by.
