The satisfying feeling of completing a quest before it even starts
This meme features the iconic 'Big Chungus' version of Bugs Bunny wearing a crown and royal robes, capturing the smug satisfaction players feel in role-playing games. It highlights the common gaming trope where a player is tasked by an NPC to retrieve a specific item, only to realize they already have it in their inventory from previous exploration. This allows the player to turn in the quest immediately, bypassing the intended journey or challenge. The image serves as a humorous commentary on the disconnect between game narrative pacing and the player's tendency to hoard items or explore areas ahead of the main storyline.
"I have it in six different colours..."
Farengar and the dragonstone.
The Dragonstone of Bleakfalls Barrow to Farengar. He only had to send me on that quest once. I have it every time thereafter. That's approximately 300 times.
NPC: I want you to defeat the monster blocking the road Me: Already done
Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 do have some of those checks. The quests behave slightly different if you have that item already. While other games just run their standard routine (give quest, flag it, turn in).
who else though immedietly of the dragonstone from skyrim?
in KCD2 the huntsmaster asks you to bring him sheep guts for a quest. if you tell him you already have some he hits you with ' jesus, are you some kind of freak?!'
I dislike games where the quest item appears only after activation, forcing a return to a previously explored area.
And they desperately needed 3 pieces of some herbal to save their dying child, which you had 387 pieces in your inventory already because it grows absolutely everywhere.
