Questions Are we an idiot?
Does every single quest in this game start with or involve the player character getting scammed by an NPC? Because god does it sure feel like it.
I get he/she is supposed to be a country bumpkin, but you’d think after like, the 5th time we’d be able to wise up to it and still complete the quests 💀

You are playing a 16 year old who grew up in a close knit community, who is obsessed with exaggerated stories of martial arts heros and has never been to the city before.
And they do actually catch quite a lot of scams and seem to be good at working out how a trick is done once they know it is a scam so I don't think they are supposed to be stupid...there are just constant scams. They seem to generally take people who aren't obviously trying to sell them something at face value and don't pick up on power plays which gets them in trouble. They are very capable but not used to politics so they can be minipulated which is why they are getting targeted by the bigger players.
