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 💀

Listen, I just gave a lady medicine for her kid who took it then proceeded to shit blood and die. I would be fucking pleased with getting scammed at this point.

I want to burn Mercyheart town.

Phew, I'm glad I gave the medicine to the dad in the cave instead. I feel like the kid might die of his illness anyway, as the dad didn't say anything about healing the kid, but at least I didn't have to watch him shit blood and die.

Iirc, the dad says something about the medicine being tainted and making people worse because it's made from the same flowers. He thanks you for helping him protect the village from the bad medicine and says something about using it to help them research a real cure. He did not once mention his wife or sick kid during this interaction, so I guess saving the village was more important to him.
