8 Infuriating Side Quests You're Never Going to Finish
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- Collecting 100 feathers in Assassin's Creed 2, running five miles in GTA 5, or finding 440 Riddler trophies in Batman Arkham City: some optional side missions are so tedious or time-consuming that we took the optional part seriously and opted to never finish them. Consider eight of our least favourite and subscribe for a video like this on the regs: www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
Take the side mission to collect feathers side mission in Assassin's Creed 2. Head back to Ezio's villa in Monteriggioni and you'll discover that Ezio's mum Maria is super keen for you to fill a box in her bedroom with loose bird bits, apparently because that's what her late son Petruccio was doing before he died.
She wants you to find and bring her 100 of these filthy, probably disease-carrying feathers. These are scattered across the entire game in dangerously precarious spots, where at any point you could slip off a ledge and die.
Or how about the Riddler trophies from the Batman Arkham series? These trophies are meant to prove The Riddler's intellectual superiority over Batman, but at best they prove that he has so little going on in his life that he has the time to plant these things all over the city. At worst, they actually lead Batman to his location and get him arrested.
This hobby of Riddler's reached its nadir in Batman Arkham City, in which there were 440 Riddler trophies scattered around the map.
I argue it's a much better revenge on the Riddler for you to just completely ignore his stupid, time-consuming sidequest, and you just go off and do cool Batman stuff instead.
That's to say nothing of sourcing 114 mystical shards to unlock a mystical temple in Dragon Age: Inquisition, or the massive faff of getting five special Triple Triad cards off of the alleged Queen of Cards in Final Fantasy 8.

Where's that stupid Crimson Nirnroot quest from Skyrim?! I'll forever have ringing in my ears from those stupid things.
Tell me about it...I liked most of the quests,EXCEPT for the quest where you have to friggin' STEAL,which the game does NOT joke around with punishing you for the aforementioned theft. But...I think my least favorite mission is probably the questline for Lord Harkon. SO.FREAKING.IRRITATING.
Seriously the worst quest ever I can’t believe it didn’t make it
the quest stones of barenziah also makes me mad
It's making you forget it...
Yeah - they should have used that instead of the Arena!
Another settlement needs your help
Rik Elsbergen I was waiting for this
As soon as we got back to Sanctuary with Preston I left him and Sturges there and never came back for the rest of eternity.
DeathByProcrastination
I just never went to concord. I walked around it and helped the settlements by just going to them.
Soooooo annoying!!!
DeathByProcrastination I poured about 50+ hours making sanctuary my kickass headquarters with a full smallish shanty town as well as a docter that was secretly a cannibal a church houses ability on top of the houses in sanctaury a sheriff office a bar walls made of that cool things with tires and scraps of wood rug glitches together and sentry toweres and gun turrets and a an arena. My point is I spent ages in sanctuary and would go to Preston for the quests because I wanted settlements to build in and as soon as you get the castle the radio can give you the quests and you can send him to the castle along with sterges. Now the actually annoying one is marcy
I actually like the arena questline in Oblivion. I complete it every time I start a new character, which is kind of odd given that my prefered play style is a stealth mage/archer
I always play as an assassin type character, but I always do the arena. If nothing else the exhibition shows you can do as grand champion are a nice little earner for very little effort.
And if like me you like to walk that line of being good/bad those 31 fame points can keep you on the right side of some people. 😂
I do the same thing 😅
I like it too
Plus the Adoring Fan! He’s worth winning the game for, much less a side quest.
I also do it every time
I always loved these types of side quests because the completion rate is always so low on the achievements especially the riddle trophies. Plus when I was younger I couldn’t afford new games so I would play the same ones over and over again so the long quests let me get more time out of the game. I still remember hunting down those damn feathers in AC2
Le reddit silver member the feather quest was long and annoying and some needed you to pull of feats that took multiple tries to get. In later ac games it actually got worse like in unity and syndicate where you had glitches that where near impossible to actually get.
There is an entire fraction of people who were PISSED the Arena wasn’t included in Skyrim to the point mods were made. I never played Oblivion, but I think that inclusion was a little unfair.
You should play it, it's great with mods and looks as good as Skyrim. The quests are awesome.
Helgen Reborn has a slightly shorter Arena-style questline. Also, there's a mod to give windhelm a fighting pit.
If you never played Oblivion then I'm going to assume you're 12 years old right now
@@deusvult5405 To be fair, I never played Morrowind
As with most things Bethesda on PC, there's a mod for that. Unless it's a shitty online co-op game. No mods for that.
When you're done watching this video there's another settlement that needs your help.
Cory Baxter damn you Cory Baxter
Okay Preston I will get right on that... *sigh* I guess I will never see my son Shaun again...
I actually reached a point with Preston where he doesn't give me quests anymore. No mods. He just says he'll let me know if anything comes up.
Cory, I wish I could give you 100 thumbs up! 👍🏼
those are just radiants though, you can't actually 'finish' that questline
anyways Valentine's loyalty quest is far far worse
Hey there Sole Survivor I know you're busy trying to uproot the evil of the Institute while fighting raiders and the brotherhood of steel but if you don't mind I want you to visit EVERY SINGLE POLICE STATION IN THE COMMONWEALTH and hunt down a tiny tape somewhere inside them so I can kill a guy really anticlimactically and you can get my companion perk. Oh and I'm going to bug you about it every ten minutes making me even more annoying than Preston for the duration. But don't worry, as a reward you get a .44 revolver that is objectively worse than the one you almost assuredly looted off Kellogg 20 hours ago.
On the GTA one: literally tie a rubber band or something around the controls to make michael go in a circle and come back to it after grabbing a bite to eat. Also you get a couple million at the end so it is worth all the awkwardness
I turned on a TH-cam video and watched it while running back and forth a barrier and a certain bush, took 15 minutes or so I think
Do it on Trevor's airfield. No predators spawn there
They wouldn’t know that they never finished
Only takes half an hour to complete, just run up n down Trevor's airstrip. It's one of the easiest missions in the game@
@@leonpaelinck that's what I did
Now we would see collecting all 900 kolog seeds on Zelda BOTW
I was sure that was going to be on the list. The figurines are actually cool and the reward for them all is a figurine of Link and the King of Red Lions. The reward for all 900 Korok Seeds is a literal piece of crap. So yeah, figurines are way better!
YES.
Don't the korok seeds expand your weapon slots? I'd say that's useful.
I'm 500 in and planning on getting them all
@@wolfcafe3745 they do up to a point. It's not endless. And doesn't allow for any more expansion after a certain point
The Arena in Oblivion was one of my favorite things about video games in middle school, and I was sad about the feature not returning in skyrim. I remember getting the Champion to not attack me in the final fight, and burning him for being a vampire 🔥
re: Dragon Age: Inquisition. You think the shards were a pain? What about the mosaic pieces. At least the shards appeared on the map. You just stumbled upon the mosaic pieces at random and for a long time some of them were glitched so you couldn't reach them.
I need to get out more.
i played this game from start to finish a few time but i never NEVER managed to complete even One Of those Damn Mosaic
I hate those mosaic
i did them all by pure luck. tried on another character and i couldnt manage to get 1
na we're good where we are.
I made a checklist with all those mosaic pieces for my third playthrough. Couldn't stand finishing it again without having all of the pieces.
When you think about the figurine quest in Zelda that gives you nothing at all, I think it would be actually worst if it was giving you something amazing.
And yes, I remember that quest. I took a couple pictures, the dude tald me it wasn't good enough and I immediately stopped that nonesense. Apparently, that was the right call.
Lots of people have finished the Arena in Oblivion. Seeking Your Roots, on the other hand, half of us ignored.
Handled well, the Riddler can be threatening. Like Jigsaw without the gorror movie baggage.
Riddler trophies in Asylum: an okay diversion
Riddler trophies in City: a pain in the derriere
Riddler trophies in Knight: mood & pacing-breaking insanity that hide the true ending behind a slog you'll never want to do again
Agreed. Saving Catwoman should've been the only ending requirement from Riddler. The trophies should've been a separate thing that unlocked, I dunno, some unique Batmobile upgrade or something instead.
Them damn race tracks in Knight were just.....ugh.
@@MonkeyDCeddy If you switch the view to First Person, the races are a million times easier. i know it sounds like it would make it worse, but somehow it makes the races very easy. Try it next time and you'll see
I got infuriated whenever I had to race for a single trophy because the batmobile would sometimes be like did you say "Fall down and restart the entire thing? okayy" but I finished it anyways, just did Origins like 5 minutes ago actually
Never in my life have I felt a stronger urge to murder a fictional character than when doing the Riddler quest from Arkham Knight. What the hell were the devs thinking ? City was bad enough with its glowing puzzles sticking out everywhere like warts on a face and its subquest locked behind the collection of all 400 trophies, but Knight devolved into Vaas-levels of insanity.
"i don't understand how fidget spinners work.. do you battle them?"
proof that beyblades should make a comeback
You needed proof?
How is that proof
Beyblade s are still a thing, look at a country outside your own.
How about not over analyse a simple joke?
Isaac Southern No.
“That’s because everything you have ever thought is wrong, Zondar.”
I am IMMENSELY disappointed that that line wasn’t followed with a “WASTED” tag.
I actually genuinely like the Arena in Oblivion and I regularly do that quest when I make new characters. For the levels and money mostly, but still.
Where was the stones of berinziah from Skyrim?!!
Connor Kenway Exactly what I was thinking. There are entire mods dedicated to making it possible. And even then it takes countless hours to collect all 24... I don't even know what you get for doing it, since I'm far too busy shouting villagers off cliffs to deal with it.
That was one of the first quests I did on my second playthrough. Get the crown and every damn urn you open is filled with 20 flawless diamonds.
You get a crown. That's basically it.
That's not it. You get a crown but you also get a passive ability called "Prowler's Profit." And like I said, it causes you to find massive amounts of gems in every urn and draugr. One trip through any dungeon will result in finding more gems than you can carry. That, plus the merchant perk will allow you to buy any item from any merchant with gems. It basically makes everything free.
I'm such a nerd.
Dude, what.
I'm getting those gems.
I loved the arena questline it never felt like a chore to me
Connor Kenway I know right? I thought i was gonna be the only comment
i did it for the easy money
yeah i quite liked it
Honestly, they forgot to mention how great the rewards are for completing it! You get an Adoring Fan that will follow you around for the rest of your days, idolizing over you! Absolutely the best companion character Bethesda ever created, hands down. Take that, Dogmeat.
+Dialask Isel It doesn't look like you're joking...
When you've experienced 4 of these and completed 3, youknow you have a completionist problem...
Still, Pettruccio's feathers??? Heck no. That was the first one I thought of when I saw the title.
I mean, that one wasn't awful like some of the others. You can make them show up on the map, so it's just a matter of going to collect them.
The almanac pages in ac 3 are way worse you got to climb up high and dangerous buildings and be speedy for if you take a tiny amount to long they disappear until the next time you go to that area and lets be honest the next time you get to that area is most likely after you finished the darn gsmr
I LOVED the arena quests in Oblivion! I got so pumped up for them, and the one on one duelling was so thrilling. I absolutely loved it and it's sad to see that other people didn't like it. That's a shame.
The arena is the very first thing I do whenever I play Oblivion, tf? It's actually a lot of fun.
"WELCOME TO THE ARENA!" I love it.
Yeah, collecting The Stones of Barenziah or restoring the glory of the Thieves Guild in Skyrim would have been better.
(To be honest, I think pretty much everything about the Thieves Guild in Skyrim kinda sucked)
And on a side note, the Dark Brotherhood party quest (Whodunit?) is great... until you realize that you can just run around and punch everyone, because they don't care if you kill someone right in front of them and they have basically no health at all.
khgameplaye same
In my first play of the game thats what I did and getting familiar with the combat there helps so much
The only thing that annoyed me about that quest was the fact that you couldn't loot your opponents after they're dead, and the bloody door you couldn't go through.
Those annoying thieves guild gems from Skyrim. The ones that don't have quest markers. I have yet to complete the mission.
Those made me want to die
Used a guide to cheat my way through it all, it still sucks 😒
If you think that is hard try picking up any other open world game with collectibles. Many of those games have much more like GTA and AC.
Absolutely and worse they a re stuck in your inventory until you find ALL of them.
I completely this ONCE. I have to say you get a pretty cool crown when you do.
I'm betting she used the feathers to make a son-shaped pillow
That would be the one good use of those feathers tbh
Maybe a husband shaped pillow so she you know
i come back to this video a lot just to hear Andy say "is it building a new son out of feathers?" And it always makes me laugh
As of July of 2024, still doing it lol
If the 'No Stone Unturned' isn't here, I will be mildly disappointed...
I am mildly disappointed...
Trash Man Oh god not that quest I spent 3 hours searching for all of them.
Trash Man it's not a quest it's just collecting collectible stuff
is that the quest from TES 5 with those pink stones you have to collect?
It is a side-quest in the game, seeing that it is given to you by Vex and the reward is an effect that is mildly useless.
This video feels like a side quest I'm not going to finish.
@Tealwraith
I'm with you on that brother.
yeah too boring and no rewards
Amen to that. Out of the side quests here that were so awful to finish, only the Petruccio one really, uhhh, rankled my feathers. I love the arena, I didn't mind shard collector (because the rewards were so solid). The Queen in FFVIII isn't great, but again, the rewards are solid.
Where are quests like the Battle Trophies from Star Ocean?
"want to finish"
FTFY
14 minutes of my life I’m not getting back
In Dragon Age Inquisition the shards quest isn't too bad. Especially if you want to get The Iron Bull and Dorian into a relationship.
At least not collecting 900 korok seeds in legend of zelda breath of the wild
They are such a cute couple. Though, romancing Bull is hilarious amd completely worth it. It was my favorite. Dorian is just going to have to find someone else lol.
@@AmySorrellMusic I love romancing Dorian too. Such a heartbroken man who uses humour as his armour. Besides, he looks hot. Well both look hot. Help, I can't decide.
@@ahmadkazan7994 omg! Ikr!? That was stupid. And after every yahaha I wanted to stab them.
Also just a boss fight who has a hand full of loot? iirc you got quite a bit of loot and some buffs been awhile tho
I kind of liked the firewalker quests in mass effect 2 because I was one of like three people that enjoyed running around on planets with the Mako. Not saying that the Firewalker was my favourite part of the game, but it wasn't that bad in my opinion.
What took me much longer was a side mission in Time Spiltters 2 called Nice Threads and is one of the reasons ill never get all golds in the Arcade of that game. It took me about ten years to just get a silver. Off and on play and many hours of yelling at the game for being cheap scumbags. You have semi-decent amount of time to beat it if you don't mind a bronze, but I believe under five if you want a gold. Trust me... Its harder than it sounds.
The people who complain about the Mako are the people who don't treat it as what it is, it's an APC and it handles like one. That is to say: like shit.
Did they really just unclude the Arena but not Seeking Your Roots(Collecting Nirnroot)? Or the Stones of Barenziah(collecting the 24 gems in Skyrim)?
I absolutely despised the Stone of Barenziah quest line, especially considering how hard it is yet how little you get for it
Did both.
Don't have a life...
the nirnroot thing actually gets you a really good reward, that's why its not on here. The potions you can buy are really good: Nighteye, Fortify Health and Fatigue 20 points, Fortify Blade, Blunt, Destruction, Restoration, Security and Sneak 10 points. Lasts 300 seconds.
Additionally, finishing the quest line gives you an incredibly high disposition with Sinderion. He also has an extremely low Mercantile skill. This makes him one of the best merchants in the game.
I just read the story of barenziah. Which is much more interesting than getting the stones.
Hah, you think that's bad? So assuming you've mastered the speech skill (yes the speech skill) you get a mastery quest to do for it.
What you must do is go around and talk to every beggar. Literally every beggar in the entire game.
And no you do not get updates on the quest, and no you don't get any quest markers. So if you accidentally missed one you might as well start all over.
Worst side quest ever
5 miles through the desert? Yeah i put a rubber band on my controller and went in the pool.
Jeff Sandt lool ch3473r
That's genius!
The cougars would probably kill you
But wouldn’t you eventually run out of the desert and have to restart?🤨 since you’re running in one single direction
10:54 this is why this is my favorite TH-cam channel
Oh my god I’ve never heard anyone else agree with me that the dark brotherhood party quest was the absolute best! Thank you mike! Also I loved the arena
Does no one remember Preston Garvey. You can literally never escape the infinite amount of settlements that need your help
The oblivion arena was fun. Pretty much the first thing I do
I also like the arena and I found to not take to long. Certainly not hours like Andy suggests. Now finding those nirnroots is another matter.
I liked it too, especially the announcer and of course the reward of rewards: the adoring fan
Same here. It's a good way to earn a bit of gold and xp in the beginning. I did it every time just for that.
Agreed, Nirnroot quest is by far more annoying than the arena, i always used the arena for quick easy levels at the start of the game
Right? I *love* beating that smug Yellow Team Champion. can't call me a welp if ya dead
Heeyyy! I liked Triple Triad. Even though its tedious, you can convert the cards into high level items through the Card Mod GF skill.
Honestly the Nirnroot and Barenziah quests from Skyrim is worse.
The real pain was getting master rank in FFIX's tetra master, you had to: (1) collect all 100 cards, (2) make sure each one had a unique arrow combination and (3) use your cards until they all get to the maximum rank. Reward: of course, nothing!
I did not like triple traid in this game i do like it in FFXIV(wierdly enough)
@@Unapologeticweeb FF8's Triple Triad was fine
Not gonna lie, I was that guy who went and got every riddle trophy.
"Oh, you mean every riddle trophy in Arkham Asylum?" No, I mean every riddle trophy.
"What, you mean the ones in Arkham City too?" No, I mean e v e r y riddle trophy.
"Ah, so you did the ones in origin as well?" No I mean EVERY riddle trophy.
Every Riddler challenge across every main Arkham game. The only one I haven't played is Blackgate.
I just love embarrassing that cocky green-suited bastard.
Yeah I did them all too because I just wanted to rub it in nigmas face (although I love his design in city and the fact that the predator and combat challenges are set up by him)
Wait... did you just say that the arena quests were worse than the nirnroot ones in oblivion?
The nirnroot ones were so aggravating
To this day that sound still annoys me...
*Nirnroot humming intensifies*
@@moonraven6145 *Crimson Nirnroot humming intensifies*
I know, right? All the fans hate that one, but this is the first I've heard anyone ripping on the Arena.
Come on ,Andy! You forgot the crimson nirnroot mission from the Skyrim. One wrong move and you eat one of them, failing the mission FOREVER.
the no stones unturned
Alexander Mowat Actually, they regrow, after a helluva long time though...
No, the nirnroot's do regrow, as well as there are more nirnroots in blackreach than the amount you need for the quest; heck I even ate one right before I finished the quest; thought I had doomed myself, but no, all I had to do was drop a extra nirnroot and pick it back up, bam quest is completable again.
If anything is a total pain it's the stones of barenziah; cus they are all over the world. Sure they're mostly in places you'll go for other quests, but unless you go out of your way to collect them fast, they stay in your inventory filling up weight and space.
Axle Tensa Quest items don't count towards your carry weight in Bethesda games.
Oblivion's nirnroot collecting is way more annoying than the one in Skyrim and also than the Arena fighting
Actually, the Queen of Cards sidequest gives you the Kiros card pretty early in the quest, and that can be card modded into 3 accelerators, which teach your GFs auto haste, which effectively breaks the game once you use those and equip to the entire party. In other words, Queen of Cards, absolutely worth it despite the headache.
The arena in Oblivion is awesome, I love every fight in it and did 'em all with several different characters.
Several hours to complete the Arena quest in Oblivion? How terrible are you guys at Oblivion's combat?
Exactly
Right? I'm pretty sure I've done it at least twice
Dangerz Own you don't have to do his quest, you can just kill him
I did it on every save
Just for reference.
When I first started to play Oblivion (my very first time playing) it took me about 1 and a half hour to complete the Arena quests. That was with me doing that quest at level 1 because I had nothing better to do.
Another settlement needs your help!!!
THIS! ^... and the doctoring the books thieves' guild quest in Skyrim.
I actually really enjoyed the minute man side quests....
I’ll mark it on your map
No borderlands 2. “I like my monsters rare” is a quest made by satan. Kill a bunch of randomly spawning enemies that have no set spawn and may never spawn. So when the RNG gods say no this quest goes on forever
1. The Arena was easy! Even on a harder difficulty with combat improvement/difficulty mods!
2. Skyrim's shouts. I will never collect them all because they are useless, except Dragonrend.
The mysterious stones side quest in skyrim 24 hidden around the map with no waypoint
The silant gamer I've been playing the game for over a year now and have only found 4 of them
no stone unturned?
Yeah and the reward isn't even good I mean the crown looks cool but still
The only thing you can do with it is put it on a maniquen
Cailin Overholt theres also a perk called that lets you get a massive amount of flawless gems
I was so offended when the arena was slated in Oblivion until i came to the comments and found that everyone else too loved the arena. My favourite faction in oblivion was the arena tbh
You are quite correct about the arena, I really enjoyed it. Personally I think they should have added it into Skyrim as well.
+Anarchy Antz It was gonna be in the game, but unfortunately it was cancelled.
the arena is amazing
i enjoy it, too. it´s one of the first things i do. nice easy way to get money, experience, some armor and weapons, a place to sleep, and easy handy victims if you choose to become a vampire.
at the time the arena was really fun. even without brilliant modern combat systems it's still an RPG and being grand champion does feel kinda cool if u play oblivion
This video felt like a side quest..... I lasted 1 minute
“You’ve wasted precious hours of the only life you’ll ever have” idk why that hit so hard
Started the GTA V mission really late at night, didn't realize how long it would take. Instead of taking the easy option of running around in circle, I decided to run up and down the runway of the desert airfield. But after all that my game crashed, so long story short, I don't play GTA V anymore.
Tahmidul Amin sounds like something I'd do
But i liked the arena in oblivion. :(
TheRoadSoFar same! I hated having to kill the grand champion though. That whole back story with him made me sad.
I love playing that part too.
It was the first faction I finished and I was pumped about the arena because Morrowind had such a lack of straight up duels in arenas.
John D. Yeah you can only fight a few specific people. Meaningful battles, but not enough
Sort of in the same boat, since the rewards for the shard collecting and the storyline of the Overlord DLC for ME2 made them actually worth playing through.
The joke's on you, I already completed the figurine gallery in Wind Waker (HD).
I'm kind of late to the party, but I remember running around in Mass Effect 1, scanning keepers on the Citadel and scouring planets for matriarch writings and turian insignias. And in the end, there was always the 1 missing, and you don't remember which ones you've already picked up.
Yeah, I hate those missions.
Skyrim and Oblivion I did the opposite... Mastered guilds, thanes, skills, exploration and any side mission that didn't involve actually finishing the story!
Yeah, screw the story in those 2. They made everything else much more pleasing and fulfilling. Finishing the games was, sadly, a let down.
How about main quests we're never going to finish as a video idea? Frankly in Fallout 4 I'm too busy combing the wasteland for aluminum cans to worry about... What's his name? "Shuan?" "Ron?"
I know, right? Who cares about a son you barely know when you can pretend to be an overly-melodramatic superhero with a tommy gun? :P
I actually liked the arena in oblivion
I also accomplished the Kifflom side quest, sure it a pain to run 5 miles in the desert but it’s worth it, you get some cash if you decide to betray the Epsilonists
I love DA: Inquisition, so I didn't mind the shard collection side quest. Plus, what they didn't mention is besides the loot, you also get to level up your character's resistance to cold, fire, and spirit attacks. That really helps when battling enemies in the game (especially the cold/fire)
SKYRIMS STONES OF BARENZIAH
The only "thief" here is Bethesda stealing my time.
Had to scroll way too far for this. Take an upvote!
Armuks Thanks :)
Mash There's also that group of masks quest, where you put them all on a special display pedestal.
Russell Michaels that wasnt really a quest...
Now Bethesda is trying to steal your money through paid mods through microtransactions
There is about 30 incredibly obnoxious side quests in the Elder Scroll series that requires you to go all over the map collecting stupid crap and you choose the Arena? What the hell? The Arena was awesome.
giantWario but aren't most of those quests radiant? They literally never end, so I don't think they apply
I did the feathers (and the flags) in AC2, the Arena, without doing the parentage thing, so an honorable fight... arguably...(pushing the adoring fan off dive rock is fun), and the fire walker missions. I actually liked the hammerhead... it was wayyyyyy more fun than the normal Mako.
At least the shards from Dragon Age Inquisition give you a useful bonus. Those elemental resistances are pretty helpful fighting demons and mages at the higher difficulties.
Guys, you completely missed Fallout 4, goddamn Preston just wont stop giving you guests to help other settlements
Peter Yioutsos fuccccck Preston.
There's another settlement that needs our help.
This one deserves a spot on the list
It's probably because that's a continuous quest that never ends no matter how many settlements you helped. Frankly though I enjoyed it, I loved the idea of rebuilding the world for good and raising all these new communities.
Good for role-playing bad for anything else. Ah Preston I never wanted to betray you because I'm too nice.
**another settlement needs our help here i'll mark it on your map**
The side quest you'll never truly finish,even though you own every settlement
They didnt include that lind of quest because those quests are radial quests
*Vietnam flashbacks intensify*
Prince Sky I need a super thumbs up for this 😂😂😂
A group of 3 or so raiders in lvl 3 gear, got into my heavily-fortified fortress called my settlement with fully-armed settlers and missle turrets that OHKO the said raiders, with spotlights and walls to foil any stealth plots, got in and nabbed an entire armored settler and got out without triggering any alarm what-so-ever.
I'm surprised you didn't mention collecting 100 Nirnroot in Oblivion. It gave me such Nirnroot based anxiety by the time Skyrim came around that I had to impulsively collect them whenever I saw them, even though they're virtually useless.
I ran for 5 miles twice in gta v (once on ps3 and once when i replayed it on ps4) but yeah there are hacks to it. Like running in circles (basically holding same inputs on controller while doing something else)... And then you can get 2 millions if you betray them in last mission
Yeah you can just take some tape and tape the buttons in position so you can put down the controller and do something else
If you get the $2mil before you get the investment missions with Franklin, you can invest it to make $1.6billion - I'd say that is WELL worth running the 5 miles.
You gonna do it again on the PS5?
@@mavis_draq i haven't even done it on pc yet... So idk... But if they do have new single player content on ps5 then maybe
Burooj Kalam Wait...what’s that investment mission?
What about To Arms! In Borderlands the Pre Sequel. You have to collect 50 common weapons and donate them to the revolution, and then they end up just using them to make a piece of modern art
How big is your inventory in TPS? Assuming that it is around 27 items, and you have no quest items, then you can go to a Dahl machine from early game and buy all of the stock from it. It will put you about 20,000-200,000 into a hole, but you get a lot of money and don't go through it very quickly.
While that sounds like a nice easy answer, you have to do that at least 6 times and as you said can cost a lot of money. If you focus on it it isn't difficult, just annoying as hell. Like, why can't I just donate money so they can walk to their nearest Dahl vending machine?
Sid Samel Wait that happens? Fuck that then
I just had a second controller and kept bringing in a character with a guest account drop the weapons right next to me and pick them up put them in and you can finish that quest in about 3 minutes
I just couldn't be screwed enough to do that and just finished literally the rest of the game.
I love that you actually did complete most of these side quests for the footage, was this list just a way of taking back lost time?
Fun fact: They started working on this video in early 2015
TheNuroshi Really, where did you hear that?
Andy Mcp yes,I guess...
Thomas the dank Engine Probably heard it from Facetious the Sarcastic.
Andy Mcp they could have gotten the footage from someone else.
Good thing i only wasted 8 hours of my life collecting the feathers in AC2....
...Twice
I remember this quest in Dragonage 3, it was time consuming and I also used the Internet for geting the locations ... But I still love this game and I would do this mision again! :)
I always do the firewalker missions. Even though the firewalker is Made of Explodium, ugh.
But how could you bring up Oblivion and NOT pick the damn nirnroot collection mission?
I can't be the only one who actually enjoyed the Firewalker missions.
Having completed both quest (nirnroot and Barenziah), I would say the nirnroot is definitely the worst one. There are simply so many of them you have to collect. If you are using a guide and let's face it, you are if you are trying to collect them, the stones are at places you are already going, while the nirnroots will have you explore, just to get them.
Angela Fortin or the skyrim version with the Crimson nirnroot? I think that one is worse cuz of blackreach
Nirnroot is workable because you can always find it near water, and you start near a massive lake that proceeds into a river. You can just go along the shore and grab Nirnroots as you see them.
And then you just have to find those near lakes, small ponds and if my memory serves me right, hidden in homes. I never touched nirnroot when I was replaying Oblivion just not to trigger the quest.
Yeah, Oblivion. A game where there's a side quest to collect every nirn root in the region. Or a quest where you have to follow innocent people doing normal things the whole day, just because some paranoid guy told you to. But yeah, you chose the arena questline.
I loved that crazy dude's quest in Skingrad. It doesn't take that long and IIRC you get to decide what happens to him. The nirnroot one definitely sucks though
Nuppusaurus With the crazy guy you just wait 24 hours, you never have to follow anyone, that quest is rather easy to do and amusing.
Yeah Skingrad crazy guy and Nirnroot were terrible. Which is when I played it on the pc I got the respawning Nirnroot mod to make it easier. I also got the useful Adoring Fan Mod which actually makes him useful in combat. Also with paranoid guy I took his house key off his body and crash at his house.
And then there's the crimson nirnroot quest in skyrim, which is the same thing, but with more falmer
The Arena is totally pointless; that's why it was cut from Skyrim. But I agree, Oblivion had far more pointless quests than the Arena line.
Rdr2 challenges... takes around 50 hours to do all of them
I'd believe that, it does explain why I didn't progress for at least a week of playing the game yet AC Odyssey was even worse. Yet I still enjoy both games and do all the side quests.
I don't know if you've done a video about satisfying sidequests but one of my personal favourites is the Red Pollen chain of quests from Xenoblade Chronicles. It takes about a third of the game's time to complete and it must be done before the events in Agrinatha but it's so good once you've finished it.
You chose the Arena questline over collecting every single Nirnroot in Cyrodil? What's wrong with you!? You could finish the whole Arena questline within two in-game days as soon as you left the dungeons, but Nirnroot collecting? They're rare as all hell, and the only two hints you have to find them are "they grow by water" and "they make a noise". And there's like a hundred of them all over the place.
The sad thing is, that's not even the only annoying collection sidequest in Oblivion. You've also got the one where you have to collect Shadowbanish Wine, if you want to crawl around the dank, uninteresting forts scattered around Cyrodil.
The Paragon Try it in Skyrim! Had to run around an underworld Dwarvern city filled with Centurions, Falmer, Poisonous insects, Wispmothers, Human slaves, a hidden dragon. There isn't enough to vent all my frustration on and I don't have enough space to carry their shit. Since I can't leave until I get this quest off the list, since much is glitched in there with the extra items that are quest items :/
cough...cough...console....cough....commands....cough
I don't want to confess how much time I spent using myself as live bait to try and catch those bloody slaughterfish in that bloody lake.
Sure, they're all OVER the place when you don't want them...
The Paragon not to be that guy... but couldn't you only fight once a day in the arena?
+Jimmy V no, it just depends how much time each fight takes you, they have set Arena business hours, so long as you kill your opponents quick you can get away with several fights a day.
uhhhh the combat was bs in oblivion but the arena really had me charged up. I was annoyed Skyrim didn't have any of that. Arena was awesome, you are wrong.
I missed the Arena in Skyrim too, it would be amazing!
With the new(er) combat style in skyrim, the arena would be fuckin amazing, i think that after you become the grand champion that they should have let you fight more people tho, not just random creatures
To them, they didn't like it. They're not wrong in how they feel, albeit it's subjective.
@@joshparsons716 Skyblivion is comming.
@@ricknovais i would love oblivion with skyrims in game mechanics and spell work
Those Korok Seeds in BotW made me develop an irrational hatred of Koroks.
Nowadays, when I find one under a rock, I drop it on its head out of spite.
I get butterfly’s whenever I see Oblivion. Such a great game and such a great time in my gaming life. ‘‘Twas a simpler time. The Arena was awesome, I gladly played through it more times than I can remember with every type of character.
...(looks around, slowly raises hand) I... I ummm... I enjoyed the arena quests in oblivion.
Howard0607 lots of the people in the comments did
The look in Andy's eyes that silently spoke of his regret at taking part in so many side quests
You forgot to mention that for Queen of Cards, you don't even have to complete it in order to get all the cards. You can just wait until disk 4 and find her at the Escape Pod site and win them from her there instead... While playing with every single card rule active, which is a lot harder for some people than doing the quest anyway.
Oh my god I’ve never heard anyone else agree with me that the dark brotherhood party quest was the absolute best! Thank you mike!
Painfully tedious, yes, but collecting the 100th feather was possibly the highest point of my entire life. I've been riding that good feeling for...what, 7 or 8 years?
Take pleasure in the little things in life.
Because god knows we'll never get anything better.
Same here i really enjoyed Assasin's Creed 2 so i wanted to complete everything in the game and i did but it did take from release in november 2009 to january 2010 to get a full 1000 gs
Hazmick yes but you havent attempted the AC1 flags
Hazmick I did it too...can't believe how many years ago that was
I attempted the AC1 flags, but never finished. When I die it will be the lingering regret that binds me to the earth as a ghostly Vexillologist.
Best side quest is OutsideXtra
GibbonGames achievement unlocked "discovered kippers" 15G
Achievement unlocked "orca" 50 G
Achievement unlocked "Got Ellened" 100G
Am I the only person who thinks the OxBox crew were acting a bit weird in this episode?
DeathByProcrastination I thought it was a bit weird when Andy called riddler a dick, never heard the crew swear before
Collecting the feathers was the first thing that came to mind before I even started playing this video
"You've wasted precious hours of the only life you'll ever have."
I need to get off TH-cam.
On the bright side, if you don't finish the final fantasy 8 side quest you can always tell yourself it just wasn't in the cards.
GhengisJohn ha! This guy knows how to internet.
General!
Another settlement needs your help!
I abhor Preston Garvey
I always do the area aide missions as it gives you xp and the armor when your grand champion gives me enough protection to get the nights of the nine armour...
Funny thing is I actually loved the arena side quest in oblivion 😂
Aneurin Pritchard a lot of people do
Collecting 900 Korok Seeds. That mission is seriously something barely anyone will ever complete.
What game
turtle h Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Bose-Einstein oh yeah that quest was Suuuuuuuuper annoying i feel like i have picked up all the stones in hyrule 2x because ig you forgot if you checked smth or not u better check it just in case especially towards tge end
yeah theres no way im collecting all 900 seeds
OH YEAH!! And all you get in return is... poop...
@10:52 the thing I love most about Batman is that he absolutely refuses to kill anybo…..
I always collect the shards in Dragon Age Inquisition. The stats you get alone are nice, but it's also just something else to do while adventuring and getting masterwork mats.
Oh fuck those feathers. I had to look up a map of where all the feathers were then I had to go around to every single place around the map. Of course I missed a couple so ended up re-going through every single location 4 times. Not sure if the platinum trophy was worth it lmao.
Hannah I literally printed a map of all the locations and manually crossed each one off as I did it XD
You know they told you how many were left in each section. Should have been relatively easy to track down.
Hannah its funny, I'd heard from several people how annoying the feathers were to collect, but just by exploring the game naturally I was able to find 60-70 percent of them. Using the map to see what sections the remaining feathers were in I was able to find the rest after just a few hours. I was almost let down by how easy it was, and had expected a far greater challenge.
The thing that took me much longer to finish were the missions from the pigeon coops. Those just seemed to never end.
I did the feathers easy. Had the Stratguide map, then as a new area became avalible, complete all Feathers in that area before moving on. Doing it this way cuts the time in half.
Petruccio’s Feather quest is easy. I do it on every character. The REALLY annoying one is the Glitch Quest where you need to find those damn glyphs on buildings in the Animus. I had to wait until end-game for that.
I collected every single Riddler trophy and I had loads of fun doing it.
I got every single one in all 4 games, including Asylum TWICE for my 100% playthrough and I honestly never want to see another goddamn question mark in my life holy shit.
a fan of canta Yeah, they were at least FUN to collect... There were still too many to keep my interest though. Once I get fifty, I usually ignore them for the rest of the game.
Dahn Yeah, don't play Knight. I bought it since I absolutely loved Asylum and City, and I missed out on Origins... ... I literally played that game for five minutes before deciding to never play it again. I honestly hate the batmobile.
Dude, I agree. The only one I went for was Arkham City, but they were so much fun to figure out. It became a Batman themed puzzle game for me, set in Arkham City.
Jake Huffman
Did you get it for PC? The console versions handled much better. Arkham Knight is my favorite in the series. Too bad you didn't get to play through it. It was honestly awesome.
I finish the Stones in Skyrim and got the Crown. I also got all the Shard in Dragon Age 3 and in Harkon DLC. they come in handy fighting the Dragons .
Links face as he is taking that photo perfectly sums up the quest
I remember ACII. I was so damn close to 100% synchronization. Got every mission perfect, every side quest, ever treasure box... and 99 sodding feathers. I could never find the hundredth.
jrcbroolz go to game FAQs and check their guides for help.
tbh, it's been years since I played the game. I haven't even turned on my 360 in a while.
I have not used it since before halo 4 came out. :(
I think the last time I used it was to play some nostalgic Blur with an old friend
I missed when games didn't cost more than a tank of gas
What about every single Lego game? Those gold bricks and Stan Lee's arent going to collect themselves!
NutellaChomper I can proudly say I got 100% on the Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 😂😂
NutellaChomper those are easy
They're fucking everywhere, so it's not that bad.
The most tedious is lego stars Wars TCS as you have to repeat the story at a minimum of 4 times to 100% it. The lego games are extremely easy to complete.
I enjoyed collecting everything in Lego LOTR
FFX's monster capture sidequest.
But at least for that they give you an important piece for an ultimate weapon
I wanted to 100% Arkham knight so bad. I did everything besides the riddler trophies and I realized it wouldn't be worth it at all so I just beat up enough criminals to make it look like I did
I was a grand champion in oblivion, I loved the arena
Zachary Boswell It is very forgetable imo
It's easy money.
I could never forget it. It was honestly my first questline I completed in Oblivion
Right? Literally the first place I go in any playthrough, it's good money, good training for skills, and if you happen to have that cool tower as a house you can make enough to have access to enchanting and spellmaking tables without needing to do the mages guild questline.
Every playthrough of Oblivion I do starts like this: create character, escape sewers, lower difficulty, enter arena, become grand champion
