He is seen many times in the real RoboCop walking fast enough that he can catch up with people who are running at full pelt. Rogue City is such a disappointment on so many levels, but his zombie-ing along like an Asstralian is one of the worst. The game is not a power fantasy by any stretch of the phrase.
No no no no no, i went to school with someone who "Ponderously Plodded" his way to classes. Mf took 15 minutes to walk from class to class and it was so bad the teachers LET him leave classes early to get to his next class on time. The only time that mf moved with urgency was in badmitton in P.E.
I have a TOTK story similar to Lynn. Wandering the fields of Hyrule is a girl researching dragons, and she says things like how the dragons are all so mysterious, no one ever sees them, and she would love the chance to see one. I actually recorded a video on my phone of her saying that to me, followed by me panning the camera up to see the Light Dragon literally flying directly above us. One of those times you wish game AI could be a little smarter.
What Bly above said. Funny thing about magical beings, not everyone can see em. The dragons are much like the Koroks, most folks can't see em. Otherwise the folks at the Faron Lakeside Stable would be _freaking the golden fuck out_ at the regular daily 2-3 occurrences of Farosh flying across the lake, and more folks around the world would be talking about them more. Hard to ignore a flying dragon. They'd be describing them as "powerful, elegant, dangerous beasts", the way they do TotK Gleeoks.
@@Crocogator At least Mankrik makes SOME sense once you get away from the meme status of the quest. Guy ain't the warrior type until after he learns her fate.
To be fair, it takes certain skills to fix a wagon and catch a horse. They might be trivial things for Link, but Zumi doesn't have the arm of the first king of Hyrule grafted into her body.
I do think the wheels just being a few meters away is silly, but yes they probably were trying to say that she doesn’t know cart repair and horse wrangling
@@ChristophBrinkmann Sure, it has happened, I'll give you that. But even so, wagon repairs done without an ancient ghost king magic arm graft account for what, 3 successful wagon repairs? Ever? And even those 3 supposed successes are dubious reports, but whatever. Even if two regular arm wagon repair is theoretically possible, it's still not a realistic option for the average person to rely on. What's next, are you going to suggest people also place standing signposts without the aid of massive, barely stable support structures constructed via cobbling together random junk using ancient king arm graft glue magic? Get real, the modern world runs on the fusion of ancient dead royal arms to our current living bodies, it's the only practical system. But hey, it's a free country, go ahead and dig holes for your sign posts like a madman if you want. No skin off my nose if you want to rely on primitive nonsense and miracles instead of getting your arm disintegrated into pure physical evil by a mummy, and then jamming an ancient dead space goat king arm onto the stump like everybody else. Everybody else who breezes through their multiple daily wagon repairs, I might add.
You can't really reference a specific sidequest as such as it's all procedurally generated, but some of the item fetch missions from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ask you to find an item on a dungeon floor and take it to a Pokemon on that same floor, and you can spawn in and they're literally stood right next to the item they wanted delivering and will pay you to hand it to them...

In defense of Zumi not dealing with the wagon herself: The problem wasn't merely that two wagon wheels were needed, but possibly that the usual means to mount them were also gone. There's a difference between changing a tire and replacing the entire wheel hub because someone cut off all the lug bolts. She's a valet, not a mechanic. And even if the bolts were there, there's no guarantee she would have had any lugnuts! or linchpins I should say.

Glad you're enjoying Genshin Ellen, there's a lot of fun to be had with the main story !! Also there are quite a few bits you could add on into a couple of list videos, fyi the side quests in this game can get dark. ( Maybe in another edition of side quests that you should never start or finish )

In defence of RoboCop's quest, the game does need slower moments, and it's a tender moment of caring, even if Robo can't always feel it the player can.
That Dying Light quest reminded me of the quest in Witcher 3 where an Alchemist asks you to go find a bunch of rare ingredients so him and his mate can get sloshed
How about the opposite, where your character should be able to easily resolve the NPC's problem if they actually remembered their powers, abilities, connections, etc..., but instead goes on length quest or outright leaves them hanging? Like in Genshin Impact, VAGUELY STATED SUMERU SPOILERS ...where the side characters make an elaborate plan to distract guards and government officials in order to save a certain character who was being held captive by them when there was literally nothing preventing the main character, either physically or morally, from just walking through the front door and destroying everything in their path to the person they want to rescue with the strength that let them beat a newborn divine super weapon immobile a little while later. Or how at another point one event NPC spreads lies about a friend NPC to make them an outcast from their entire society and it's treated as a tragedy that says friend will just need to entire for the rest of their lives instead of something that the main character could have resolved by introducing the friend to our other buddies who are famous leaders/heroes/Gods amongst said society.
This entire list could be 57 entries long, be comprised entirely of quests from FF16, and still have room left over. Let's not forget they literally sent us to collect dirt after fighting Garuda.
I actually really liked the side quests in ff16. I thought they did a really good job of World building and You a reason to care about the people you were working with and working for
Beat me to it. I love the Final Fantasy series, but the side quests in 16 were the most mundane and unimaginative I have ever experienced in a video game.
@thembill8246 I'm glad someone enjoyed them, I definitely didn't. The only side quest that felt important to me was the one that reunites you with your chocobo. Which was a double-edged blade since riding your chocobo looked and felt slower than just running.
Or world of Warcraft… and I’d assume any other mmo. Theres a couple quests where you have to take a “dog” for a walk to eat berries and look through the droppings
@chrisquint3656 One of the dumbest quests I remember was during Wrath of the Lich King, but had such a great Freudian slip name. "Kickin' Nass and Taken Manes."
Let's be real, this whole video could have focused on just how much of a gargantuan waste of time most quests & side quests are in Genshin Impact You did a good job restraining yourselves to give others time in the spotlight
In the early stages of the _Morrowind_ Mages' Guild, you have to do tasks for the alchemy apprentice Ajira. Two of her quests involve going out to collect the ingredients (one a set of mushrooms, the other a set of flowers) she needs to write a few reports, a third requires you to go *NEXT DOOR* to get her a common (clutter) ceramic bowl, and her last quest requires you to find the reports that she wrote about the ingredients that you found after they were stolen. She never leaves her desk, not even to find the obvious locations of the reports that she needs to advance in rank within the Guild. Only consolation is that she tells you where to find some very powerful items once you've moved up significantly in the Guild's ranks, but it doesn't change the fact you have to do a bunch of busy work for her early on, most of which you don't even need to leave the city of Balmora to accomplish.
What about the Dragon Age Inquisition quest where you chide a very smart ram into going back to his owner in Redcliff? Or the druffalo escort? Can no one be bothered to hunt down their errant livestock?
The ram one is fun because he's a secret Rage Demon, and you can decide to fight him if you want. The druffalo one is mostly stupid, but he does help you fight the demons from that high-level rift over the waterfall.
Another one in Inquisition is a man asks you to "find" herbs and it turns out it's just outside his garden. This dude just doesn't want to get out of his chair.
The beer mats are the Fallout London equivalent of Vault Tech bobble heads so they actually are worth collecting. You could have put Dragon Age Inquisition in here because most of that game is collecting rocks and waiting on irl wait timers.
Street vendor: Please deliver this apple to my friend who is 30 seconds walk away. Me: OK. Also me: (Performs 25 hours of side quests before returning.) Done it! Vendor: Thanks, here's 5 gold, and 10xp.
In Fallout 2, there's a lady running a restaurant who asks you to deliver food to a mechanic on the edge of town. If you take too long, he'll tell you he got food for himself. The response is to ask for xp anyway, and he kindly obliges.
Death Stranding Pizza Delivery. Higgs asking you to take a break from rebuilding America so he can have some fresh Za. 10 times. Without ever tilting. Across the entire map.
Some of Miles' side quests in Spider-Man 2 were pretty unimportant. Like retrieving the school mascot's costume from the rival school before a game. Or helping a classmate ask another classmate to the Homecoming Dance.
The best Genshin example I can think of is one I was reminded of recently. In Fontaine, there's Iaune. He's a pencilpusher bureaucrat who corrals you into a *long* series of quests that mostly boil down to you just running around talking to other pencilpushers to help them sort out the minutiae of bureaucracy. That in itself is dry, but could be forgivable, except that Genshin has a system in which one quest in a location locks any other quest in that space, Iaune's series of quests all us a pretty well used location for other quests, and Iaune has like four quests all of which unlock immediately after the last one. Which means that accidentally starting Iaune's questline could leave you forced to do a lot of busywork just to get to other, much cooler quests.
Being expected, as a powerful Main Character, to do stupid bureaucratic nonsense for pencil pushers and government clerks, is actually really funny to me in these games. But it stops being funny when it locks you out of other questlines. I tend to do this thing in the Fallout games where I'll pick up quests all over the map and kind of just ping around doing a few things in one little zone, then follow a quest that takes me somewhere else and do my tasks near there, and so on. So running stupid bureaucratic errands in between doing much more important and cool tasks, is funny to me, in a similar way as combining "play as a kid" mods and little girl dresses for armor and a ridiculously pink handgun as a primary weapon is funny.
The calming fruit quest from Miitopia is just there to get you away from the castle long enough for the Dark Lord to attack it and steal the princess’s face.
The funny thing about that No More Heroes minigame is that it's still more entertaining to do than the giant hallway you fight through on the way to Letz Shake
Fallout 3 has a sidequest called "The Nuka Cola Challenge" where the Lone Wanderer agrees to find 30 bottles of Nuka Cola Quantum for Sierra Petrovita who lives in the settlement of Girdershade. You can also give the bottles to her boyfriend Ronald who hopes that Sierra will "reward" him for finding the bottles for her even though your doing all the work. Your reward for completing this sidequest is a schematic for the Nuka-Grenade.
At least the Nuka-Grenade is worth it. And you could make the quest almost trivially easy with the Nuka Cola Chemist perk (I think that's what its name was, been over a decade since I played 3).
I just recently got and played through RoboCop: Rogue City and ear too busy role playing as not just RoboCop but a RoboFriend so I was all too glad to get those signatures I was just bummed that I didn’t get to see him give it to Lewis with his robotic signature on it
I mean, wouldn't Shoot This Guy In The Face from Borderlands 2 count as trivial? Face McShooty is disappointed with this list. Also, Moria Brown asking you to get radiation poisoning in Fallout 3 might count as well.
I'm stealing "too lazy to get off the couch even when it's on fire" without recognition, and even if it's blatantly obvious that I couldn't have come up with it, I will insist that I did.
Morrowind at one point tasks you with retrieving a pair of pants for a bathing man. In the town of Gnisis, Hentus went for a swim, but unfortunately, Hainab stole his pants. Now he doesn't want to leave the water because he isn't wearing any pants. So, he tasks you, the chosen hero, with tracking down Hainab and retrieving his pants.
I mean, that ones understandable, given it's a letter they are saying the other dude wrote, in order to get the lady to stop talking to them. IIRC there's even an option where you get both letters and give both to her, and she ends up hating both of them. A perfect plan.
'invite three of your friends over' eh? I can tell from the context that that inkeeper knows what he likes of an evening. 'a fine bottle of red' indeed. you go girl
Wow just as I was watching this I experienced a lazy NPC in Potionomics. Quinn the witch asks you to visit four chocolatiers to get them free chocolate, when the player character Sylvia asks why she had to do this for them, Quinn responds "First of all, I wouldn't underestimate my laziness if I were you." Although Quinn then admits that they were banned from the stores so...
First time one an outside Xbox video has featured a game I’m currently playing (fallout London). Maybe I should stop skipping the spoiler list section lol
It reminds me of one of the missions from Aragami 2, where you're requested to get origami materials for a girl who is feeling sad. Clearly the only place you can get late night origami supplies is inside the main enemy's capital and heavily guarded palace.
Totally expected to see the swamp guy from RDR2 who gives you a muskrat hide for clearing out a whole scary infestation of Night Folk. Or the old lady from Witcher 3 who has you searching for her frying pan. I'm cool with that tho. I'd always help an old lady. Just saying.
Kudos to Ellen, the lazy quest giver of this video, who cleverly tricked the main characters of Outside Xbox into doing all the work on this Outside Xtra video.
Ooh that'd be neat. I remember seeing rumors that ol' Lizzie was gonna be in it as a special ghoul, but the creators felt it would be in bad taste to do that/leave that in after she died.
Diablo IV. The Quest Raising Spirits. When you arrive Kyovashad this Guard Boza asks you to cheer on his recruits, who are training about 15 Meters away from him.
The Lost Adventurer's map quest in Enter the Gungeon. You help an adventurer map out the gungeon floor you are on and what that entails is that YOU do all the mapping while the adventure trots around in one room. This can not only be time consuming depending on how big the floor is but also deadly the deeper down in the Gungeon you are in. Not only that but said adventuer clearly came with equipment just sitting there on the floor. Meaning they had the means to actually go and help you map the place but instead rather stay in one room. Granted after doing all floors the first time the reward is okay but even still the amount of times the adventurer says "we mapped the Gungeon" gets tiresome considering they did not do anything to help.
Does taking a break from saving Skyrim from a dragon apocalypse to spend time delivering love letters and getting knee deep in a love triangle in Riverun count as trivial?
You get a hammer that's easily outclassed for half the total, then a cloak that maxes out your infamy rating everywhere you go, making guards immediately attack on sight. So clearly, you're missing out /s
7 super tedious and long quests that we're probably gonna skip. Blasphemous has its Chalice of Inverted Verses. You kill 3 depicted enemies without dying or using fast travel. They're in a variety of locations, spread across the map. Then you have to return the chalice to its starting location to open a door to get an upgrade.
At this point I don't even bother with Lynn since girl, it's right there!!! What kind of expert are you?!? Can't even remember what the rewards are for the quest.
Anyone who played Dead Island knew what was going on with that Dying Light mission right away because Techland they used that in both games. I haven't played Dying Light 2 or Dead Island 2 enough to know if they hit us with it a third and fourth time.
I still remember the worst quest of Dragon Age Inquisition, Where The Druffalo Roam... trying to get a druffalo to follow you back to a farm at a snail's pace. I'm trying to save all of Thedas from an ancient evil and the druffalo doesn't like it if I go too far ahead. As if being in the Hinterlands wasn't bad enough!

...where the side characters make an elaborate plan to distract guards and government officials in order to save a certain character who was being held captive by them when there was literally nothing preventing the main character, either physically or morally, from just walking through the front door and destroying everything in their path to the person they want to rescue with the strength that let them beat a newborn divine super weapon immobile a little while later. Or how at another point one event NPC spreads lies about a friend NPC to make them an outcast from their entire society and it's treated as a tragedy that says friend will just need to entire for the rest of their lives instead of something that the main character could have resolved by introducing the friend to our other buddies who are famous leaders/heroes/Gods amongst said society.
This entire list could be 57 entries long, be comprised entirely of quests from FF16, and still have room left over. Let's not forget they literally sent us to collect dirt after fighting Garuda.
I actually really liked the side quests in ff16. I thought they did a really good job of World building and You a reason to care about the people you were working with and working for
Beat me to it. I love the Final Fantasy series, but the side quests in 16 were the most mundane and unimaginative I have ever experienced in a video game.
@thembill8246 I'm glad someone enjoyed them, I definitely didn't. The only side quest that felt important to me was the one that reunites you with your chocobo. Which was a double-edged blade since riding your chocobo looked and felt slower than just running.
Or world of Warcraft… and I’d assume any other mmo. Theres a couple quests where you have to take a “dog” for a walk to eat berries and look through the droppings
@chrisquint3656 One of the dumbest quests I remember was during Wrath of the Lich King, but had such a great Freudian slip name. "Kickin' Nass and Taken Manes."
I'm impressed. Coconuts are in fact fruits. they're a one-seeded drupe. Other familiar drupes are Peaches, mangos, olives, and cherries
Let's be real, this whole video could have focused on just how much of a gargantuan waste of time most quests & side quests are in Genshin Impact
You did a good job restraining yourselves to give others time in the spotlight
No Dragon Age 2? Aveline asks Hawke to deliver something to her subordinate literally 10 feet away.
In the early stages of the _Morrowind_ Mages' Guild, you have to do tasks for the alchemy apprentice Ajira. Two of her quests involve going out to collect the ingredients (one a set of mushrooms, the other a set of flowers) she needs to write a few reports, a third requires you to go *NEXT DOOR* to get her a common (clutter) ceramic bowl, and her last quest requires you to find the reports that she wrote about the ingredients that you found after they were stolen. She never leaves her desk, not even to find the obvious locations of the reports that she needs to advance in rank within the Guild.
Only consolation is that she tells you where to find some very powerful items once you've moved up significantly in the Guild's ranks, but it doesn't change the fact you have to do a bunch of busy work for her early on, most of which you don't even need to leave the city of Balmora to accomplish.
What about the Dragon Age Inquisition quest where you chide a very smart ram into going back to his owner in Redcliff? Or the druffalo escort? Can no one be bothered to hunt down their errant livestock?
There’s also the nug wrangling side activity from Dragon Age: Origins. You’re supposed to be amassing an army to fight the darkspawn, Maker damn it!
The ram one is fun because he's a secret Rage Demon, and you can decide to fight him if you want.
The druffalo one is mostly stupid, but he does help you fight the demons from that high-level rift over the waterfall.
Another one in Inquisition is a man asks you to "find" herbs and it turns out it's just outside his garden. This dude just doesn't want to get out of his chair.
The beer mats are the Fallout London equivalent of Vault Tech bobble heads so they actually are worth collecting.
You could have put Dragon Age Inquisition in here because most of that game is collecting rocks and waiting on irl wait timers.
Yeah, I've seen Inquisition get the same criticism as Genshin in this video. NPCs ask you to collect plants they're practically standing next to.
Street vendor: Please deliver this apple to my friend who is 30 seconds walk away.
Me: OK.
Also me: (Performs 25 hours of side quests before returning.) Done it!
Vendor: Thanks, here's 5 gold, and 10xp.
In Fallout 2, there's a lady running a restaurant who asks you to deliver food to a mechanic on the edge of town. If you take too long, he'll tell you he got food for himself.
The response is to ask for xp anyway, and he kindly obliges.
3:58 Mona's expression is perfect!
Damn you Mike for bringing up KFC 60m from home after a 16hr night shift. Cruel.
That Combine soldier from the beginning of Half-Life. He definitely could've picked up that can. Facist power trip? Nah. Pure laziness.
Death Stranding Pizza Delivery. Higgs asking you to take a break from rebuilding America so he can have some fresh Za. 10 times. Without ever tilting. Across the entire map.
I just played that Robocop "mission".
Talk about a waist of resources. I couldn't help but think "THERE IS A COP MISSING! What am I doing?"
Some of Miles' side quests in Spider-Man 2 were pretty unimportant. Like retrieving the school mascot's costume from the rival school before a game. Or helping a classmate ask another classmate to the Homecoming Dance.
The name "Clive" came out of left field, usually Final Fantasy games have wild names and he just rocks up with the name Clive.
But in typical Japanese fashion, it’s actually his family name.
Final Fantasy protagonists Cecil, Edgar and Vincent have opinions about this "wild names" accusation
@@Amaritudine I forgot those were names in Final Fantasy when I commented, especially Cecil Harvey, that one is dire.
Genshin! Oh, lord, I remember that quest. Lynn, please. Please, Lynn. They're....they're right there.
Honestly, Borderlands 2 Claptrap Birthday Party would be amazing for this list.
The best Genshin example I can think of is one I was reminded of recently. In Fontaine, there's Iaune. He's a pencilpusher bureaucrat who corrals you into a *long* series of quests that mostly boil down to you just running around talking to other pencilpushers to help them sort out the minutiae of bureaucracy. That in itself is dry, but could be forgivable, except that Genshin has a system in which one quest in a location locks any other quest in that space, Iaune's series of quests all us a pretty well used location for other quests, and Iaune has like four quests all of which unlock immediately after the last one.
Which means that accidentally starting Iaune's questline could leave you forced to do a lot of busywork just to get to other, much cooler quests.
Being expected, as a powerful Main Character, to do stupid bureaucratic nonsense for pencil pushers and government clerks, is actually really funny to me in these games. But it stops being funny when it locks you out of other questlines. I tend to do this thing in the Fallout games where I'll pick up quests all over the map and kind of just ping around doing a few things in one little zone, then follow a quest that takes me somewhere else and do my tasks near there, and so on. So running stupid bureaucratic errands in between doing much more important and cool tasks, is funny to me, in a similar way as combining "play as a kid" mods and little girl dresses for armor and a ridiculously pink handgun as a primary weapon is funny.
The calming fruit quest from Miitopia is just there to get you away from the castle long enough for the Dark Lord to attack it and steal the princess’s face.
I love how Fallout London is treated as a legit entry in the Fallout series and can be part of these ‘best of’ lists
As an Italian, I'm amazed at Jane's accurarate pronounciation of "prosciutto". As if I didn't have enough reasons already to admire the lady.
The funny thing about that No More Heroes minigame is that it's still more entertaining to do than the giant hallway you fight through on the way to Letz Shake
Fallout 3 has a sidequest called "The Nuka Cola Challenge" where the Lone Wanderer agrees to find 30 bottles of Nuka Cola Quantum for Sierra Petrovita who lives in the settlement of Girdershade. You can also give the bottles to her boyfriend Ronald who hopes that Sierra will "reward" him for finding the bottles for her even though your doing all the work. Your reward for completing this sidequest is a schematic for the Nuka-Grenade.
At least the Nuka-Grenade is worth it. And you could make the quest almost trivially easy with the Nuka Cola Chemist perk (I think that's what its name was, been over a decade since I played 3).
0:27 - At least they showed gratitute. And payed, too!
I just recently got and played through RoboCop: Rogue City and ear too busy role playing as not just RoboCop but a RoboFriend so I was all too glad to get those signatures I was just bummed that I didn’t get to see him give it to Lewis with his robotic signature on it
I mean, wouldn't Shoot This Guy In The Face from Borderlands 2 count as trivial? Face McShooty is disappointed with this list. Also, Moria Brown asking you to get radiation poisoning in Fallout 3 might count as well.
Borderlands 2 also has the "Kill Yourself" quest.
I'm stealing "too lazy to get off the couch even when it's on fire" without recognition, and even if it's blatantly obvious that I couldn't have come up with it, I will insist that I did.
That one from robocop is so stupidly hilarious 🤣😂🤣
Morrowind at one point tasks you with retrieving a pair of pants for a bathing man. In the town of Gnisis, Hentus went for a swim, but unfortunately, Hainab stole his pants. Now he doesn't want to leave the water because he isn't wearing any pants. So, he tasks you, the chosen hero, with tracking down Hainab and retrieving his pants.
Skyrim could be loads in this hahaha
Was gonna say, Faendal and Sven asking you to deliver a letter to a lady who lives like 10m from them
I mean, that ones understandable, given it's a letter they are saying the other dude wrote, in order to get the lady to stop talking to them. IIRC there's even an option where you get both letters and give both to her, and she ends up hating both of them. A perfect plan.
'invite three of your friends over' eh? I can tell from the context that that inkeeper knows what he likes of an evening. 'a fine bottle of red' indeed. you go girl
Wow just as I was watching this I experienced a lazy NPC in Potionomics. Quinn the witch asks you to visit four chocolatiers to get them free chocolate, when the player character Sylvia asks why she had to do this for them, Quinn responds "First of all, I wouldn't underestimate my laziness if I were you." Although Quinn then admits that they were banned from the stores so...
There is a daily quest in final fantasy 14 where you pick up a box and walk it ten feet into a tent
First time one an outside Xbox video has featured a game I’m currently playing (fallout London). Maybe I should stop skipping the spoiler list section lol
"So, you're offering me some wine when I return?"
"Yes."
"Mal-be-bec."
It reminds me of one of the missions from Aragami 2, where you're requested to get origami materials for a girl who is feeling sad. Clearly the only place you can get late night origami supplies is inside the main enemy's capital and heavily guarded palace.
Ironic that the video about laziness remembered the spoiler game scroll.
They paid Eurogamer 45p to do it for them.
Totally expected to see the swamp guy from RDR2 who gives you a muskrat hide for clearing out a whole scary infestation of Night Folk. Or the old lady from Witcher 3 who has you searching for her frying pan.
I'm cool with that tho. I'd always help an old lady. Just saying.
Yeah but those quests are actually difficult from the NPCs perspective. The rewards are cheap, that’s all
Now the chores you have to do… ugh
Kudos to Ellen, the lazy quest giver of this video, who cleverly tricked the main characters of Outside Xbox into doing all the work on this Outside Xtra video.
I would love for one of the Wild Wasteland type perks for FO4: London to be an encounter with The Doctor & Tardis.
Ooh that'd be neat.
I remember seeing rumors that ol' Lizzie was gonna be in it as a special ghoul, but the creators felt it would be in bad taste to do that/leave that in after she died.
Don't forget about that one guy in Megaton (Fallout 3) who will pay you to find him so scrap metal, one of the most abundant resources in the game.
Diablo IV. The Quest Raising Spirits. When you arrive Kyovashad this Guard Boza asks you to cheer on his recruits, who are training about 15 Meters away from him.
Dating........didn't even get me an achievement or gamer score😣
Hah noob
@Dovah_Slayer like trying to get a golden chocobo. Couldn't pay for it. 😂🤣
In-game or IRL? :P
The Lost Adventurer's map quest in Enter the Gungeon. You help an adventurer map out the gungeon floor you are on and what that entails is that YOU do all the mapping while the adventure trots around in one room. This can not only be time consuming depending on how big the floor is but also deadly the deeper down in the Gungeon you are in. Not only that but said adventuer clearly came with equipment just sitting there on the floor. Meaning they had the means to actually go and help you map the place but instead rather stay in one room. Granted after doing all floors the first time the reward is okay but even still the amount of times the adventurer says "we mapped the Gungeon" gets tiresome considering they did not do anything to help.
2:13 well if it’s on par with a decent Malbec…
Does taking a break from saving Skyrim from a dragon apocalypse to spend time delivering love letters and getting knee deep in a love triangle in Riverun count as trivial?
First thing that came to mind for me is the Assassins Creed 2 quest to collect 100 feathers. No idea how it turned out, I had better things to do.
You get a hammer that's easily outclassed for half the total, then a cloak that maxes out your infamy rating everywhere you go, making guards immediately attack on sight. So clearly, you're missing out /s
An old man, not willing to step out of a cold shower naked? He didn’t lose track of time, he was preoccupied…
uh, won't that cart just fall apart the moment link decides to use all his glue for a contraption he needs/wants? I'd call that karma XD
I'm baffled Travis makes it look like a coconuts weigh hundreds of pounds lol
I'd say solving the Riverwood love triangle is probably not the most important thing for a Dragonborn to do.
Rdr2 and GTAV not making the cut with the 1/2 of their side missions fitting this criteria is amazing
I just realized. Why haven't you guys done a livestream of Fallout London?
7 super tedious and long quests that we're probably gonna skip.
Blasphemous has its Chalice of Inverted Verses. You kill 3 depicted enemies without dying or using fast travel. They're in a variety of locations, spread across the map. Then you have to return the chalice to its starting location to open a door to get an upgrade.
I could see Robocop getting signatures for Lewis. She was his partner in the movies.
At this point I don't even bother with Lynn since girl, it's right there!!! What kind of expert are you?!? Can't even remember what the rewards are for the quest.
Anyone who played Dead Island knew what was going on with that Dying Light mission right away because Techland they used that in both games. I haven't played Dying Light 2 or Dead Island 2 enough to know if they hit us with it a third and fourth time.
'never said no to a goatan' eh? i can tell from the context that there is more to what these two young men are arranging than perhaps meets the eye
EVERY task Travis Touchdown has to do
Awesome to see Fallout: London.
It's so annoying when I'm a demi-god general of the army and some NPC wants me to fetch some flowers.
I still remember the worst quest of Dragon Age Inquisition, Where The Druffalo Roam... trying to get a druffalo to follow you back to a farm at a snail's pace. I'm trying to save all of Thedas from an ancient evil and the druffalo doesn't like it if I go too far ahead. As if being in the Hinterlands wasn't bad enough!
Jane, you can get a top shelf Malbec for like $35. Even from a really good vintage like 2016
You’re overpaying. $35 for a Malbec? You can get a decent one for $16 (Canadian)
She’s getting hers for £8, about the same value
