"So this old guy has this wife right? only thing is she's dead. Also it's the anaversery of her death or something. Anyway this old guy tells me that his wife liked this flower. The thing is, the flower is only found in this one place, and gnowls live there now. So he asks me to go and get the flower for him.
Now between you and me, I've killed a couple gnowls here and there so i'm kinda this guru of gnowl killing. The thing is that I've only ever gone and slaughtered them in their home when i thought that if i didn't do that then they would come here and fuck our shit up. So i'm not exactly well liked over there.
But whatever, i go and kill a bunch of gnowls so that this old guy can sleep at night knowing that his dead wife knows that he paid some mercenary to make a few widows so that the old guy could give her flowers. Ain't he sweet? Oh yeah, turns out that one of the gnowls had already picked some flowers, so i just took them off his corpse (should i have mentioned that?).
Anyway i bring the flowers to the old guy and he tells me that he needs something else. You see, it's a long trip to the graveyard and the flowers will wilt on the trip there. Now he can't just go and present his wife with a bunch of wilted, blood satined flowers *apparently the blood stains didn't matter though*. Nope, I've gotta go take this ship to this frozen mountain and wander through these ice caves until i find this thunder ice or some shit like that because this old guy has never heard of this magical stuff i call water that keeps flowers from wilting.
Oh yeah, bonus round, Kolbold live in these caves and I've fucked their shit up in the past as well so it looks like i'll be killing more dudes for this guys dead wife.
Anyway i'm off to kill people and do anything that resembles work for this old guy so that he can show his wife how much he still cares (i guess). But hey! it's the thought that counts right?" FML

"Oh yeah, i got a bit side tracked, went to a bar, met a few widows (don't judge me). Anyway it took me a while to get the magic ice so those flowers are wilted now. Looks like someone should have planned ahead." FML

I'm curious, anyone have any idea which game i'm referring to?
