Hehe when I was in beta I also used phrase "Do you have any errants
or tasks for me to to do?" or somesuch when asking tasks from NPCs
and couple of times someone remarked same thing about "usefullness"
of such action. I did it mainly to amuse myself and give little bit
more context or immersion to my playing, but then I seem to like to
experiment about things (nope, I'm not roleplayer, too
self-conscious for that).=20

Other day when I was playing Shogun: Total War I thought it could be
fun to "roleplay" warlord in that game and try to make interesting
histories with engineering decisive battles (losses and wins) and
take notes about any important things like births and stuff. These
could all be incorporated into story or history. But then I'm funny
that way.

"Point? What point? Nope, never heard of."
