You know, its an introductory adventure created by a group of people. They may have decided to focus purely on the combat aspects of the game itself.
That does not mean that you cannot, using the 4th Ed Rules, create a plot driven adventure. The thing in a RPG (my opinion) that needs the MOST rules is the combat. RPing generally doesnt need that many rules, and in fact I would be insulted if they actually HAD rules on RPing. "YOU MUST RP THIS WAY AND NO OTHER!"
Maybe they didnt give you NPC Personalities so you could incorporate or create your own personality FOR him? I RP in World of Warcraft, I RP in City of Heroes, I RP on Forums...
Do any of these have RULEs for actual Roleplaying? No, they have rules focusing on the combat engine.
Beyond setting specifics, I have NEVER run into an Tabletop RPG game that had actual hard RULES for RPing.
Can you point out a game and a rule that dictates exactly how you RP?
