The latest rumour doesn't make any sense.

[Dudro]

You know the feature where you talk to a random stranger?  What is it's purpose?  Did it once have a long dead use that now lies forgotten somewhere?

 

[Varric]

Probably an unfinished feature, now it's just for role playing purposes.

Mods usually do something with them. I've seened them used for the location of companions and such.

 

[Thyr]

You mean the talk with random townspeople/villagers? It CAN be useful, albeit slightly, since they sometimes tell you the cities that buy things for a high price (you can just as well assess local prices, I know) and sell stuff cheap (which is usually the more interesting of the information). And you can figure out which Lords are dishonorable (those that execute people for shooting deer in their forest), which might be useful if you want to get the "Raid the caravans"-Quest but forgot which Lords are the evil ones. And other minor stuff like that...

Since there's no way to note down the information in any of the menues however (I think someone once suggested a kind of a notebook where these things would be included automatically which would've been awesome imho), the information is usually lost in time and space.

Oh yes, that would be great.

I, for one, don't care. I just walk around until I find the man I'm looking for, run away like a girl, shoot him, then go back to the quest giver.

Run away like a girl? What the hell are you implying?

 

[Adorno]

You misunderstand Jadenmansen: It's not the outlaw you need to find in a village, it's about the rumors you can ask a villager about.

I also thought rumors were a rudimentary part of the game.

That girls have good running technique?
