I was playing this RPG the other day, and I stumbled upon a quest where I had to collect twelve chicken feathers for a hermit who believed they would help him summon his lost pet rock. It got me thinking — what’s the strangest side quest you’ve ever encountered? I mean, who comes up with these ideas? It’s like some narrative designer just threw darts at a board of random objects and hobbies.
Totally feel you on that — like, why would a hermit need chicken feathers to find a rock? It’s hilarious how random these quests can be. I had one where I had to deliver a ‘magic’ sock to a guy who claimed it gave him good luck in dice games.
Right? It’s like the developers just want to see how far they can push the bizarre! I once had to convince a talking cabbage to stop singing opera in a tavern. What’s your favorite weird quest so far, @fspencer12?
