10 Best Video Game Side Quests NOBODY Played
8. Mission Vao's Brother - Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
BioWare's classic RPG, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, has a number of missable side quests. Between the game's opening and finale, the order in which you progress through its many locations is up to you. However, this one requires an almost precognitive level of specificity.
Mission Vao is one of the early companions you meet in KOTOR - a scrappy young Twi'Lek who grew up on the streets of Taris. She also has a long-lost brother, Griff, who left her there when she was little.
To trigger the quest to find him, you must disembark on a planet that isn't Tatooine with Mission in your party and hope you run into Lena - Griff's ex-girlfriend. She'll tell you that he's on Tatooine working for the Czerka corporation.
Head to Tatooine, where a Czerka employee will tell you he was captured by the Sand People. Upon reaching the Sand People Enclave, you can then barter for Griff's freedom.
The big challenge here is expecting for any of this to happen in the right order. The upshot is that if you go to Tatooine before meeting Lena, Griff will never spawn in, thus making the quest impossible.
