If your game *NEEDS* a walkthru to make any meaningful progress without blind luck stumbling into events, you have made a shitty game. Seriously, there's TONS of vid files for events that you are only going to be able to find the events for if someone tells you when/where to go for the event to trigger. And all the talk/compliment/joke interactions do bloody nothing? Why even put them in to begin with? If they do nothing, there's no point to having them.
I got no problem with grindy games, but damn, at least let me know when/where to grind
