While it's more or less the same as escort missions, I have to give a dishonorable mention to protect quests. You know, the ones where someone has to do something that leaves them open and vulnerable, so you have to intercept the bad guys while they work on...whatever it is that they have to do, and they've apparently taken lessons on how to do it as inefficiently and painfully slowly as humanly possible.

So weird, I was just thinking about this topic the other day 😂 And how one I see all the time is when you have to find a missing person, but you inevitably find their corpse instead. You loot their corpse and if the game has dialogue options then you have the option to return the loot to the quest giver or keep it for yourself. Seen this exact quest in more games than I can count 😂

Those quests always provide some thrilling tension though, because until you find the corpse, there is always the looming threat that the missing person might still be alive and the second half of the quest might turn out to be a dreaded escort quest.

Getting that one shot during a boss fight, sure you might sacrifice a bit of health, but just look at the sheer majesty of that attack. Breathtaking.

The type of quest that comes to mind, I recently saw in Stellar Blade. A person asks you to look for another person who went to get some crucial supplies. After going to the place where that person should be, you find not only a dead body but also a boss battle just waiting to greet you. A lot of that type of side quest exists in other games too.

An escort mission in a non-rpg is in Star Wars battlefront 2015, the training mission overpower, where you pilot an AT-ST escorting an AT-AT. It’s probably an okay escort mission, as you’re defending an armoured vehicle, and it usually only takes minimal damage, especially if you’re quick. Other than that, I can understand the frustration with escort missions, though I can’t remember specifically what games I’ve played where there are any but I remember doing them. They are so frustrating, for the reasons Rob says, as the devs conveniently forgot to give the escorted character enough IQ points to not do the dumbest things possible.

I like that Greedfall was designed with a goal to avoid fetch quests. Sometimes, I enjoy doing fetch quests to add more exploration to the world and lore and to do something easy if I'm not up for more challenging quests, but it was nice to play a game where quests had a deeper narrative payoff. I absolutely adore photography sidequests. I end up spending a ton of time in photomode anyway, so it's nice to get some XP, reputation or unlockables out of it too. I'm pretty sure l spent about 100 hours in Ghost of Tsushima just taking beautiful shots of the scenery, and Jin looking pensive ir badass.
