    My favorite quest



    I really enjoy all of the quests in this game. They remind me of happier days when I was a waiter at a restaurant. The most important goal of anyone in the service industry is to provide good service, and I am glad that I can experience hundreds of hours of administering to the wants and needs of virtual characters.

    Although all of the quests in this game make me feel like a useful errand boy, I don't think any one of them made me feel quite as useful as this quest given to me by Chieftain Moglin. As you can imagine, it is the highest honor to be given a task by a leader of a people, even if it is a virtual character and not even human. What is the real cherry topping is that we are entrusted to inform FIVE different dignitaries in a single request.

    Normally, most quest givers only let us handle 1-3 activities at a time, but in this case, we are entrusted to do FIVE different things, and not just five anything but five IMPORTANT THINGs, and not just by anyone, but the CHIEFTAIN MOGLIN HIMSELF.

    Please forgive me if I sound overly excited, but you must understand, as someone who aspires to serve those of higher status, it is joyous to the extreme to be trusted with such a task, and I am really at a loss of words to express how brilliant I think the quest is.

    This is not to say I think less of the other quests. I think that all of the quests I have done in this game have helped me increase my customer relations skills, and I intend to play back all of the quests a few more times on alts when I am done with all of the quests with my main character. I should also say that it is really good that heavensward is a cold, desolate, and unforgiving place. It makes it all the more apparent that the people here need our services, and is definitely worth the cost of admission of buying the expansion pack.

    I have many more positive things to say about the hundreds of quests I have done and the hundreds of quests I have to do until I can be trusted to work for all the virtual people in this fantasy world, but I will work tirelessly day and night until I can have the honor of crafting materials for the mogs of Idyllshire and to service the needs of all in this wonderful fantasy world for years to come!

    I like quests that generally stand out somehow, especially in ways of introducing quirky nonsense.

    The balldance quest particularly resonates with me in that regard. A lewd miqote street dancer wanting to get to the next level gets disappointed, then suddenly wants to become me. xD

    Honestly don't know how you got anything remotely close to 'lewd' from that particular quest, but I digress; quirky and silly quests are appealing in their own right, I agree, so long as they don't overdo it to the point of making a mockery over the overall narrative, and so far I think the devs handle that quite well. So with that said...

Do you honestly think they're not aware of how bizarre this aspect of the game is given your character's intended position? They poke fun at it repeatedly throughout the dialogue but I'd honestly like to see people put their money where their mouth is and offer genuinely applicable and innovative alternatives to all of the things they love complaining about.

    I'm being sarcastic? If I was being sarcastic, I would've said they should just remove the quests and let people have access to the content gated behind those quests. But of course that would be really stupid, so I'm not being sarcastic. Maybe it is you who is sarcastic...?
