I was playing a game where I got a reward of a book. I read the book, then realized I could sell it for gold. So, I sold it. I didn't realize that another NPC needed that book to start another quest. I had to get the devs involved to put the book back in my inventory, so that the NPC would recognize that I had the book, and then offer me their quest.
@@AstromechyThere's a mission in Skyrim like that. If you sell this particular amulet, you can't complete the quest, much less get the reward of the biggest house in the game. Found out the hard way too.

Too bad stuff gets datamined so easily these days. In the old days you could've set it so for 1 in 5000 adventurers he actually does go on the quest after some convincing. You'd have the whole playground coming up with theories about how you need a lvl99 caterpie defeating the elite four to get Bodger to give you the quest.
@@photoo848 That's a common misconception. You need to defeat the Elite Four with a Level 98 Caterpie - Not a Level 99. Most people accidentally level it to 99. After that is when you can then push the truck to get Mew.
@@Reelix Actually it needs to be level 98 when its registered in the hall of fame alot of people mess up by gaining a level while fighting the elite for and doesn't realize that messes it up so u should probably start with a level 97 or 96 so its the right level by the end.
Watching an NPC casually snap their fingers to complete quests and hand out XP feels like some hacker flexing their skills. I mean, think about it... these "innocent" NPCs are basically plugged straight into the main code of the "matrix"; they are not just a part of a game, they ARE the game. They're practically gods. As always, a hilarious way to interpret game mechanics, you are the best VLDL.
I like this idea OP. Maybe it could even be a feature of the game that gives the player the impression that the game is about to go extremely well (on or near the beginning) but then some plot twist just throws everything out of whack to make things interesting.
Yes, this story line/tree/variation has been suggested before, along with their "amnesia" being explained away with their code being downgraded to a previous version during an update.

This is a very clever way of making me realize that gaming should be more focused on actually ENJOYING the whole process, not the reward, nor the tick in the quest log, not the XP value. Kudos

In Fallout New Vegas, the NPC’s will not consider you or even give you the quest if you haven’t done enough to raise your reputation with a faction or if you don’t have a high enough skill stat to convince them you can do it.

That's the problem with a MMO, you have so many player getting the "rare and valuable" mineral that inflation has to be taken into account, now it's worth nothing and Bodger needs his time to read his paper - I mean - work in his smithy.

All the way to Shmargenrog for a common ingredient he can probably buy for 20 gp? That's no way to spend a nice sunny day. Better just to show up with the items in hand, accept the quest, turn over the ingredients, and walk away with the reward and the whole day ahead of me.
But wasn't it already established with Greg that when an NPC goes on an escort quest, it's just an instance of them, and when they return, they just vanish?

this is how it feels missing a game event that is only one time thing.

I'm impressed that even though they live in medieval times, they still have the modern printing press to produce newspapers.
homework: look up when gutenberg printed the first book.
Nice try, but whilst the first printing press was invented in 1436, the first newspapers didn't start being produced until the 1600s. So yeah, my comment remains accurate.
If only more NPCs would just let you complete your quests without doing anything I would've completed so many games by now.
And so began the great Azerim NPC's strike movement...
I can't believe it took this long for him to avoid participating in quests :D
Only a 100 xp, must be a starter town quest…. Wait a minute. I am not taking no long and “dangerous” journey for a 100 xp
Probably most of the quest's XP came from killing the monsters on the journey, truth be told.
All the way to Shmargenrog for a common ingredient he can probably buy for 20 gp? That's no way to spend a nice sunny day. Better just to show up with the items in hand, accept the quest, turn over the ingredients, and walk away with the reward and the whole day ahead of me.
I did not expected it
WTF 3:59 the captions say *Morning sh!ts*. I kid you not
Saw that too 😂
It is what Bodger is doing.
Nothing takes priority over your morning constitution.
I love his interaction acting with the news paper.. lol..
Laziest NPC going viral.
Oh this was gold! Almost straight out of a Monty Python movie.
Steady on. That's an outrageous comparison to make
3:42 ... damn ... thought he was going to say "This is OUTRAGEOUS !"
Off you pop!
Rowan's personality makes so much more sense with a Scottish accent
But wasn't it already established with Greg that when an NPC goes on an escort quest, it's just an instance of them, and when they return, they just vanish?
Ben trying not to say "outrageous" had me rolling 😂
*FOR THE WATCHER’S SAKE BODGER JUST GO TO THE WEDDING CEREMONY AND MARRY GREG ALREADY!*
☝This.
This will surely affect the 100% glitchless speedrunning scene
I've always liked Epic NPC man, but I haven't laughed so much at one of these for a while. I'm glad you're still going strong.
Im sorry, this by far is one of the best ones you guys have done so far.
My computer every time windows updates while I'm playing.
