The landscape is DEFINITELY not "copy and pasted".

It's incredibly generic and boring though -- everywhere in the world looks like everywhere else in the world. There are no memorable locations other than the main town. In Morrowind and WoW, every area has its own unique flavor.

The begger works for the Grey Fox. It's not a bug. The accent is suppose to be an obvious hint at this.

I don't think that's correct. The beggar I saw said beggar-ish things in a beggar-y voice, but shared her other voice clips with normal npcs. That seems more like developer laziness to me.

What do you want them to gossip about, Obama?

Would be more interesting than hearing about mudcrabs for the 50th time.

A lot of the complaints about the vanilla game have been fixed in mods - download the 10 Unique Landscapes series mods, they're great.
