Yeah, I still found the sailing boring as hell even with the warps. And was it just me who found shooting the arrow into the tornado guy unbelievably hard and frustrating?MetalDooley said:

Agatha's quest in Fallout 3.
"Go to a vault, and get a fucking violin."
"Where is the vault?"
"Fuck if I know"
After finding the vault, getting chomped on by Mirelurks and falling for damn well EVERY trap:
"Thanks for the violin. Here's a radio station where I play classical music on."
At least you get the Blackhawk for the quest. Oh, but how? Find some music, inside the same vault.

Fable 3 had the most annoying Npcs ever in a game, " yes I will be your friend but first go get me some pointless crap from a nearby meadow".
Nirnroot in Oblivion - the most ridiculous fetch quest ever. Mostly because finding the damn things was hard enough.
And World of Warcraft - I seriously don't remember the whole thing, but it roughly constituted of finding...
40x Metallic Shards (Dropped from one mob, respawned every 20 seconds or so, only three in whole zone)
10x Grinding Gears
25x Whirling Cogs (Neither this or the above were in same zone as quest giver...)
Urgh, that was a horrible, horrible quest.

OT: EVE, of course, and Dark Cloud 2. It wasn't really a "fetch quest" necessarily, but you did need to grind the golfing minigame to fetch all the rewards. Oh gods.
World of Warcraft has a particularly dreadful one. You know, for the most part I can handle questing in WoW, because fetch quests are broken up by some awesome quests that have you mowing down orcs with a tank.
This quest was just a headache. Over in Westfall was a dwarf. He speaks in riddles and wants you to go get him materials to make beer. He wants some oats, barley, and wheat. Ok, not too hard, Westfall is filled with farms that should have that. Nope. He wants you to go to 3 different zones, 2 of them on the other continent, to pick up these sacks of grain that have no reason being where they are! How does the dwarf know where these specific sacks are?! On top of that, he never mentions where you would find the sacks in the quest text!
Stupidest quest ever, glad to see it removed when Cataclysm launched.

i wouldn't call the whole game an stupied fetch quest all things considered(yes i finished the game) the dumbest fetch quest i got was well in Oblivion where i had to climb through the sewers(it allllways sewers isn't it) to get a key to open the door but the catch i have to get the item inside sneak in to the mythic dawn hidout fight my way out(the level design was S_____). Then treak my way allllll back to quest giver the worst part my (stolen)horse got killed by wolves(krama a ***** ain't it). SO after walking my way got stopped by gurad pay a large fine get sent to prison loss say 2 health potions then walk back. BTW the entire novra guets line (at least at the beging) in mass effect 1.The Scythian said:

I hope you feel the same way about the Metroid Prime games... they pulled the same thing.MiracleOfSound said:

I might actually argue that this is the greatest fetch quest ever. It only takes a minute, you walk maybe 40 feet, and you get to hogtie and kidnap a woman with no legal ramifications.IamSofaKingRaw said:
There was one mission in a Fable II dlc that had you finding a creepy book in a crypt, traveling to another dimension and using the book as a guide to travel through some odd gates, which would reward you with an easter egg, which you would place in a basket on the side of the road to enter a rabbit hole, inside of which you'd find a key, which would recquire you to travel back to the previous dimension, in which you'd use the key to enter a house full of all sorts of goodies you can't pick up and your actual reward...a coffee mug.
Why?

Oh, and this whole thing is fake. There is no Wheat Sword. But for a fetch quest, this probably would be the most ridiculous one ever if it was real.
