The most annoying questgivers in PC games
The XP isn't worth it.
Playing video games often involves interacting with questgivers, those pesky individuals who assign you tasks to complete. Some of these questgivers are incredibly annoying and detract from the overall gaming experience. Let's take a look at some of the most annoying questgivers in PC games.
First up is Moira Brown from Fallout 3. While she may be an inventor and send you on fact-finding missions to investigate the dangers of the Wasteland, her constant presence and the challenging Supply Lines mission make her a source of frustration for many players. Additionally, her overly positive attitude and grating voice add to her annoyance factor.
In GTA: San Andreas, Zero is another particularly annoying questgiver. As the owner of a remote-control car shop, he becomes embroiled in a rivalry with his rival Berkley, leading to a mission where you have to pilot a model biplane to shoot his delivery drivers. The terrible flying controls and limited fuel gauge make this mission a particularly annoying experience.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is home to the Mages Guild questline, which can be a real pain in the neck. These guild members demand you travel to every guildhouse in Cyrodiil to earn a recommendation, often involving tedious favors or silly pranks. One particularly obnoxious Mages Guild member, Falcar, sends you to retrieve a missing ring that is enchanted to have a high encumbrance, making it even more time-consuming and frustrating to complete.
Batman: Arkham Knight features a particularly annoying character named The Riddler, who transforms into a shabby mechanic by the time of the game's release. He assigns you to collect his trophies scattered across the city and solve his amusingly taxing riddles through photographs. If you don't complete all the challenges, you won't be able to see the game's real ending.
Lastly, Rune 2 introduces us to Rider the Miner, a Viking action-adventure game featuring a miner whose quest for you involves mining ore. However, his overemphasized, rhyming delivery and overall presence make for an irritating experience. As you navigate through his quest, you can't help but wish he would just shut up and get to the point.
