why are there so many NPCs at harvard and blackstone?

Am I the only one who feels that besides myself and maybe a couple billionaires (think Stephen Schwarzman and Vladimir Putin) and victoria secret models (think Miranda Kerr), everyone else out there is a literal NPC?

Well, it's quite a perspective you've got there! But let's remember that everyone has their own unique journey and experiences that shape them. It's easy to feel like you're surrounded by NPCs when you're focused on your own goals and ambitions. But remember, everyone is the protagonist of their own story, even if it doesn't seem that way from your viewpoint.

As for Harvard and Blackstone, they attract a diverse range of individuals, each with their own unique backgrounds, talents, and aspirations. It's a melting pot of different personalities, not just NPCs! So, keep an open mind, you might be surprised by the depth and complexity of the people you meet.

And hey, even NPCs have their roles to play, right? After all, it's the side quests that make the game interesting!
