Realising You're An NPC

It's funny in that perspective. The NPC has very limited programming lol

When you have a quest item to turn in, and you go and do other quests first for days, the poor NPC is standing there, hands outstretched for the whole time waiting for you to hand it to them

They have a lot of these

RPG's do have stupid quests like that, and this shows how ridiculous it is. Go into your menu and choose "wait" for 17 hours or go and meditate.

I used to hate (well, still do) when RPGs keep throwing quests at you, while you're in the middle of another. I had to learn to keep focused on the one I'm working on

I try to do side quests that are to help people (like in this example, "find my daughter" or things like that). I especially like murdering bad people, to help good people.

Yeah, fuck, stupid games do things like that. I can't remember what games but I've had to reload a save to get out of shit like that. Most games don't let you kill NPCs, so shooting them or throwing grenades at their feet doesn't help

This brings back memories of Skyrim

In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, chickens can attack you. If you kill a chicken, bystanders might start attacking you with sticks and hoes and you'll have to kill them and get a bounty on you

Also, in the Atlantis DLC, there's a golden chicken in this room you have to smash a wall to get into that's a serious boss enemy. It will kill you in the ass very quickly if you're not careful, underestimating it lol For killing it, you get a golden egg that's worth $500,000 to sell. That's a lot of money in that game. It's kind of like an easter "egg", you'd have no reason to go there or if you did, even notice there's a wall to smash.

Yep, in some games, it's just like that. You have to go through the conversation and take the quest, exit the conversation and then go up to the guy again. Others it will just present the conversation choice after the character tells you about the quest.

The NPCs are stupid in Elder Scrolls games. (and if people think they are bad in Skyrim, they should try Oblivion or Morrowind)
