A new entry in "Dumbest Quest Ever".
So, I'm tooling around in Howling Fjord today (as I have done every quest I can find in Borean Tundra, including the ones inside the Nexus), and I come across one that requires me to go into a mine and kill a monster.
Simple, huh?
No.
The monster is asleep you see.
Well, that shouldn't stop me. I'm a rogue. By definition, I don't play fair.
Me (to mine supervisor): I'm on this. One monster slaughtering coming right up.
Mine supervisor: So, here's what you'll need to wake up the monster...
Me: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Already taken care of. *shows off dagger* I plant this in the middle of his back, he'll wake up.
Mine supervisor: No, you need to go and kill rams, to get ram meat, to make a monster snack to wake him up. Once he's awake, then you can kill him.
Me: What.
Mine supervisor: You can find the rams all around this area.
Me: What.
Mine supervisor: What are you waiting for?
Me: Let me get this straight. I can't go in and just kill the monster. I have to cook it a meal before I kill it? What kind of thinking is that?
Mine supervisor: Well.... we didn't want it to die hungry....
Me: Fuck this. Solve your own problems.
And it's not even "The monster is elite, but once you give it the snack, it's damage goes down." No. It's a "We couldn't think of a rational way to make this quest take longer then 30 seconds, so we chugged some crazy pills and half a bottle of cough syrup, and we call that inspiration!"
