RPGs 101: Talk to everyone.
I'm not sure we should go and whack people over the head with a sign that screams "Hey, stupid" just because some members say, and I quote an actual player (whose name will not be posted publicly, but I will share via PM if you're really curious) asking wtf was going on during the main questline, "I don't read." That's their own damn fault for not reading in A GAME INTENDED FOR ROLEPLAY, IN THE STRATEGY ROLEPLAYING GAME GENRE.
I mean, using the example of people asking what to do when not let into town, the game DOES already literally tell you "yo, go talk to Air" when you can't enter Cellsvich. Giving Air a special line on top of that, or drawing extra attention to her via an MMO-like exclamation mark or something, would just be overkill. If people are going to be stupid and refuse to read, these accomodations will not magically give them a second brain cell to rub againt the first, (please, do not get into semantics about how you'd already be dead with so few brain cells, I am not in the mood.) you know?
Honestly? If it was up to me, I'd brand everyone asking "Captain Obvious" questions like how to get into Cellsvich as a troll, and give them the punishment we give trolls. (Which, IMO, is perfectly fair, since there's actually incredibly few captain obvious questions, so you could easily ask almost any question and it would be fine) But alas, the world doesn't work that way.
