The characters encountered along the pilgrimage are memorable. They are not merely quest-givers; they have their own schedules and motivations. In v2.10, NPC interactions have been overhauled to feel more organic, reducing the "scripted" feel of earlier versions.

Forget gold or experience points. Version 2.10 operates on Penance .
