(although it is listed as prerelease 20 it also did the same thing in the recommended version)

Talking to the NPCs in the first town I never realized any gave me a quest until I accidently hit 'q' and saw I had one.

For example. This time I talk to Guth'Alak the druid. The text goes like this
"You talk to Guth'Alak, the druid. (more)
"Return successfully and ye will be rewarded."

However, talking to him a few times I get the full dialog sometimes.
You talk to Guth'Alak, the druid. (more)
"Find the sinister cave Keethrax uses as a hideout." (more)
"It's located to the southeast." (more)
"Find Keethrax and slay him." (more)
"Return successfully and ye will be rewarded."

Writing this report and doing the testing it seems it's an intermittent bug. Everytime I've talked in town I now realize I only get the last sentance. At least this time, the 2nd time I talked to him I got the full message. This is not only for the druid, but also the other NPCs who give quests. I'll try to reproduce. Perhaps it's only on a new character entering town for first time (I tried leaving town and coming back and talking to them and got the full conversation).
