But the game doesn't tutorialize this or dispatch an NPC to spell it out. The game never says "each NPC has a favorite type of gift item type, and you should equip it and talk to them", you have to guess that this mechanic exists from playing previous farming games or just out of sheer luck. You're just an NPC in their story.

It was like resetting a little stage-play; the NPC actors hit their marks and reappeared at their start location. Earlier in MUD design, these zones even “repopped” all at once. That is to say, players ran in, and killed stuff, and the zone respawned all the mobs at once, on a timer. Why did something like that come to be?
