RPG quests that make no sense to me.....seriously (Humoruniv, opens in a new window)

Posts mocking NPC quests in RPG games where the NPC can't do the task themselves but asks the hero to save the world. On Humoruniv (opens in a new window), many compared it to subcontracting structures, and replies followed that armor gets in the way of dodging. On Ruliweb (opens in a new window), replies followed that people would tell the NPC to hand over their gear, or fire back that they'd give them a cypress stick. On Dogdrip (opens in a new window), jokes followed that the hero's heroic destiny matters more than strength, or that the NPC just passes the job off to a subcontractor.
