Beginner Talent Quests

I'm confused as much as you are, just how does all that even work?

As far as I'm aware, once a returning player chooses the his/her new talent, he/she's given a quest to see "a leader of a major town" and given an SM tutorial on a few of the skills involved with the talent. (Some of the talents don't seem to have a SM tutorial, though - like the adventurer talent.)

When I made a new character, though, it didn't activate the talent quest. This, I can think of three reason for: because the character is not a human, or because the talent selected doesn't have a tutorial, or because the character is newly created. The first doesn't seem to hold up because my elf got the archery tutorial all right. The second doesn't make sense, since the talent selected was knight, which uses lances, which definitely need a tutorial for new players. The last possible reason contradicts having a tutorial in the first place.

It could also be a glitch, too.

Well, that goes without saying. Though I thought they would've fixed the latest release's glitches by now - they fixed that language pack, right?

Not everything. There's still a lot of untranslated crap, like that one quest you get after finishing the talents. And everyone knows DevCAT is notorious for creating bugs and not getting the bug spray.

Plus if a glitch isn't well known it's less like to be well reported which means its less likely they know about the glitch. (Also, Translation and Bugs are different departments of DevCAT.)

I didn't know that O-o

But, the Bolt/Bare-handed Glitch still exists and it dates back to G13...
