This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Don't forget that you have to stay really close to even hear the exposition dump, but the character is constantly walking through busy areas where you get stuck behind groups of npcs.

You're also in a busy town, so all of those NPCs are having conversations of their own (mindless babble), and their voices and subtitles drown out the shit you're actually supposed to hear.

Not only drowns it out but also over-writes all the subtitles as soon as they pop up!

Subtitle pop ups for unimportant npc chatter shouldn’t exist. Especially not in groups.

And the exposition is important to the next quest, or at least part of it is, and there's no journal or quest list "for immersion" so your only option is to redo the quest.

Yes, exactly. This person gets it.
