10 Most Frustrating Moments In RPG History

6. Hello? Dominos? Can I Make A Search And Fetch Delivery Order?

The-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Busty-Wench-600x300 I haaaaaaaaaaaate search and fetch quests, like really really hate them. It's not because they're boring or because the item is usually tiny and at the bottom of a dark and murky pond but because they never end with just one. You get the guy one Minotaur horn and he suddenly wants three, you get three horns and suddenly he wants you to take a cake to his Aunt Agnus who lives on the other side of the map; oh and you can't fast-travel because it will ruin the cake. If they could possibly tell you all the items they want as well as provide exact co-ordinates for them I might be more accommodating. Sadly, we don't live in a world of fun and happiness where EA doesn't add five DLCs to every game, no we live in a world where Krona the shop keeper needs a wheel of cheese from the shop next door and is too lazy to go get it himself. It seems that the reason the developers can claim that their games have over 300 unique quests is because the game also seems to have 300 different varieties of cheese and 299 Tesco outlets. Oh did I mention that the last piece of cheese is in a small barrel hidden behind a tiny stone in the last room of a haunted castle filled to the brim with telemarketers and giant mice, oh and he'll only pay you 5 bronze pieces.
