The issue is that you’d probably get that result, or a similar it equivalent one, wherever you go in the game world. It isn’t going to have the concept of distinct characteristics of different places unless to tell it to. Everything is going to be generic and bland by default.

That’s true. I did miss this. I still think it is bad. I also suspect the general idea of the complaint I had is probably true. But this case isn’t egregious.

Honestly, having just played around with it, it absolutely would have just magic'd up some exotic steeds if they'd requested it cold. I tried things like "look at Dave", Dave having never been mentioned before, and it happily described Dave.

It can probably be dissuaded from doing so by using a prompt that makes it clear that non sequiturs are not allowed and players cannot just conjure things out of thin air at will. Not without an appropriate spell, anyway.
