I didn't get the Anvil quest until my third game through.  Likewise, in three games, 
I only got Lachdanan, Gridbald the Weak (or whatever his name is), and Leoric 
once each.  So I don't think it's that uncommon.  In fact, I think it's a nice feature 
to hold some surprises for future games.

Nope, definitely not.

I don't know if talking with everyone helps, because I did do it once every level in 
single player.

In playing through several levels of multiplayer (solo), I found that the Butcher, the 
Skeleton King, etc., were all in the dungeon, even though I hadn't heard about 
them from anyone in advance.  (And let me tell you, the King barreling down on 
my poor weak character without advanced warning was enough to my heart 
skip...)
