Your favorite kind of mission

Post by fable »

We've had the worst; let's have the best. Personally, I prefer missions where success can be achieved in several different ways, and not always obvious ones, either. I like missions where I can decide to reject my mission and change it, as well, when I find out facts that make me doubt the capacity or ethics of the quest giver.

And you...?

assinations are always awesome... 'oh no its the morag tong, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!' is a great thing to do. RESPECT THROUGH FEAR!!!! :cool:

i like missions where I find something very cool, or where there are several tricky branching quests if you are good enought to figure them out... thats one reason hllalu quests are fun.

Or indeed one of the quests in Maar Gan. :p

My favourite quests have been dramatically changed by the downloading of that voice mod. There is an army of guards and Ordinators assebled outside Ghostgate, and soon I'm going to finish the Main quest with all of them in tow.

I like taking the quests to escort someone across Vvardenfall, then killing them and stealing their clothes, and pretend to be that person when I arrive there.

I love the ones that if you are a high ranking Telvanni and you have to kill an important noble from Redoran and Hlaalu, when I do them and I walk into the area, the people are always saying "you shouldn't be here, Telvanni", it make me feel as if I'm feared, also I love making Fast Eddie do quests for me! :D

Anything that doesn't involve escort, Ashlands, Molag Amur, dungeons, or complete breach of my ethics sits well with me.

My ethics, by the way, aren't very much.

My favourite bit of dialogue in a quest came when doing the Almoner missions for the Imperial Cult. I had to collect stuff from the Ald-Ruhn locals, and about half of them said "I gave at the temple" which, having done charity work in my time, and in particular fundrasing, I can totally relate to. The oldest excuse in the book that one.

"I give monthly"

My favorite quests are the ones where they're like, "Go find so and so ingredients, and bring them back to me." And then I look in my inventory and they're already there, and I just hand them to the person. Yeah, my character's pretty lazy. :p

I never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms... even while alive.

That's why most of the Imperial cult missions are easy as hell. The almoners... actually you could pay out of your own pocket, the items you earn more or less makes up for it, and if you don't it's still very easy to collect the necessary funds or items. The healers... I started Imperial cult a little late, so most of the time when I have healer missions I can just go out to the shrine; either the redguard or the nord will have what I need 90% of the time, and if they don't I just take a boat to Vivec and buy what I need.

I loved the Imperial Cult missions, I did all the missions from the 2 quest givers downstairs of the Imperial Chapel at lvl. 1 and 2. It helped start out my game, but of course I didn't have so much money so I actually went out and asked "alms for the poor?" and sometimes they would give you extra which was very useful.

Well, "was" is an overstatement, I am only on lvl. 3 and still do one or two of their mission (and BTW, this character isn't my first). :rolleyes:

euhm...voice mod? :o ( Tell me more!!!)

I'ma start a pilgrim now, because I've never done the imperial cult quests, or ANY quests for telvanni and only two quests for the mages guild. I always do the same... ( thieves guild, thieves guild and thieves guld...)

I like these kind of quests which can suprise me. You remember a certain Slave? And a farmer? And the Commona Tong? I loved that one....
