I was browsing the forums on the RPG Codex (I know, I'm awful ), and saw this thread title. Thought I'd copy it here (thanks Codex people, on the offchance that you're here).


... what the topic title says, really. What quests/missions etc have you done in games that you have found particularly memorable and why? Maybe because you loved them, maybe because they were really challenging and you felt a true sense of accomplishment when finally succeeding? Maybe it was the worst quest you ever played in a game? Or you were just so appallingly bad at the mission that it messed up in a way you've never forgotten?

My most memorable quests: The weird half-ogres quest in Arcanum - because it was just so strange and X-Filesy and didn't really finish properly, and it made me think that I didn't know where else the game was going to take me (which is a great thing, imo). And I spent the rest of the game really disliking gnomes.

The haunted hotel in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. When I first played, it was absolutely the creepiest game experience I'd ever had. Probably helped (or not?) by the fact that I was alone in the house at the time and playing at night. I was reminded of that creepy feeling while exploring the Dunwich building in Fallout 3 while at quite a low character level. Another great moment.

The (unmarked) quest in BG2 where you need the roguestone to get through the door - and at the other side, there's a fight with 2 vampires, a lich and a beholder (am I forgetting someone)? Took me ages and ages and ages to win that battle without at least one party member being disintegrated, but my God! I felt great afterwards, and the loot was phenomenal.

Most recently, LA Noire. I'm really terribly bad at driving in games, and I think it was the fourth or fifth street mission where I was involved in a car-chase. I was going pretty slowly, on account of being a crap driver; but I still managed to cut a corner, drive through a bench, kill 3 pedestrians, and then crash into a petrol station and explode. Oops  

What about you? 

[bussinrounds]

Why are you awful ? Those forums crack me up.

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

Rofl. You not only take the topic, but you take their favorite quests too.

You are awful.



As for most memorable, too many to count, really. Ironic, that I can't remember them.



But the Ocean Hotel in Bloodlines and Vault 11 from New Vegas definitely are amongst the most atmospheric and memorable for those reasons. The Glow from Fallout 1, too.

Also, this was pretty memorable.

X3:Terran Conflict is a sand box game involving starship battles and trade. You can fly tiny scout ships of a couple of meters long to huge dreadnaughts and carriers of a couple of kilometers in length, much like a space flight simulator. You can also create and command fleets. You can get ships through missions, buy them at shipyards, build your own using blue prints found in the game, or reverse engineer them. You need money and resources (like energy and missiles) to keep your fleet alive and expand it. You can use freighters to trade resources or build factories or factory complexes to provide for that. Factories use resources themselves (or at least solar power and mines). Freighters can be programmed to transfer resources from one place to another and automatically sell stuff.

The universe is made of sectors. Each sector is connected by one or more gates. One gate connects two sectors.

There is however one special gate which allows you to 3 pairs of sectors. That one requires a mission, but it also requires a silly amount of resources. It will take you literally weeks or even months (depending on the difficulty) to produce all the resources required. Building the factories also takes week. The mission basically forces you to buy hundreds of factories and connect them in factory complexes. It requires you to build a fleet of freighters to transfer all that stuff to a mission location. *shrugs*

The game can be set up in such a way that most is automated once the factories are build and the freighter fleet created, so you can do other fun stuff in the game.

That game ran day and night on my computer. I saved the game before going to sleep and let it run through the night and during the day when I was at work. When I got home I checked how production went and what sectors or ships were attacked during my absence. That would get me busy for the rest of the night.

It's a weird game. The missions are horrible, the voice acting is bad, the animations are silly, and the story is bad. Yet, the gameplay is highly addictive. I found out that I am not the only freak on this forum who loves this game. One is fchopin and the other is John Epler (who played X2, BTW).

I don't believe there is a more complex mission in any other video game. It's probably the longest as well. It deserves a place in the Guinness Book of Records for that.

Sorry for the typos. I am a bit tired ATM.

I guess it's more a level than a quest, but exploring the entirety of the Glow in Fallout 1 definitely ranks up there. I'm also one of the ones who ended up playing chess with Zax for a really long time and subsequently dieing of the radiation. Still remember the mix of anger and hilarity I felt at that. Luckily I had a save from earlier on, which was good since I don't think I had brought any rad meds the first time around anyhow.

"Solving" the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon with Dak'kon in Planescape: Torment was also extremely rewarding and incredibly engaging. And, like so many other instances in that game, showed me how powerful well-written text along with a few choices to click on can be.

Hey, the BG2 one was my own thought! :innocent: Besides, I can't help it if we share great taste

Leinadi - agreed, re Planescape. I still remember how awful I felt after finding out .. er .. how Ignus got to be the way he was. Incredible game.

i remember this one game where you could choose to save the elderly and mentally/physically ill who lived in poverty, using your resources on them to do so, or ignore them and continue the game. your choice of saving or not saving them mattered little since no matter how many you save, there will always be more of the sick and old to take care of.

[AngryFrozenWater]

Here's another one that I enjoyed. It's not a mission, but more of a stunt I pulled during Battlefield 2 to make fellow team members freak out.

On one of the maps, the Kubra Dam, is an huge dam wall. Below it is a long pipe. I figured out that the pipe was just large enough to fly a chopper through it. It was nearly impossible to do. I practiced for a week until I could fly a Black Hawk chopper safely from one side to the other in an off-line LAN-mode.

The fun was of course when I approached the wall in multi-player. My passengers thought I was heading over it, but then saw me going towards the pipe and actually go right through it without a scratch. I have been cursed at many time for that stunt.

[blothulfur]

The final quest of Soul Reaver 2, an interwoven mesh of paradox, fate and manipulation unfolding in a beautifully arranged sequence of eye opening realisations. Masterfully done.

The main quest of Ultima 6 and the horrendous consequences of your own actions.

Fairly much any quest in Torment from the rememberance of Es Annon to confronting a legendary night hag who once shook the planes and finding only a pathetic grieving woman whose heart you broke.

Anything involving Kerghan in Arcanum, from finding his secret lair to his final speech on the tyranny of life.

Kreia confronting the jedi masters on Dantooine and spitting on both their philosophy and morality when they have never known anything but slavish devotion to the force.

The asylum quest in Assassins of Kings and the breaking of Vincent Meis's curse in the first witcher.

The cofrontation with the spirit of the planar dragon in nwn2 and the tree of life in mask of the betrayer.

These are a few of my favourite things.

[por favor]

Fighting the Archdemon in DA:O and then talking to Alistair to decide who will sacrifice themself. Does that count as a quest?

Probably. I also remember playing that Simpsons game when the aliens invade and how it took me MONTHS to get past the final level. You had to drive across town and underneath this UFO in less than 30 seconds or something ridiculous. It was almost impossible, but by some strike of luck, I managed to do it. 

It was a huge deal for me, lol.

Assassin's Creed 1 the last one in Acre where you have to jump around the docks and kill the dude who knows your coming. Its a pain in the ass not being able to swim but when I successfully snuck onto that boat and killed him then got away before anyone can catch up to me... that was awesome.

AC: Brotherhood.the first time sneaking into the main castle to rescue the lady (forgot her name) that was epic.

GTA: San Andreas the one where you parachute from a plane sneak into Maddogs mansion taking it back for him that was great.

GTA: Vice City The final showdown in the mansion can't be beat.

GTA: IV Bank heist followed by shootout in china town

Ballad of Gay Tony
2 missions come to mind here.
1. Jumping off bridge onto a moving train fighting off helicopters to get to the front of train and stealing it oh yea.
2. Climb up skyscraper fighting your way to the very top and get explosive shotgun OH YEAH survive helicopter assault and parachute to safety.

Lost and The Damned - The finale at the prison.

Red Dead Redemption.... this whole game is memorable but 3 that really stick out for me.
1. Helping the Marshall take out gang who have been burning farms and killing people. You discover that your old friend is behind it. After being surrounded in a burnt out house shootout at Tumbleweed where Bonnie is being hanged just as you get there. This is where I start feeling emotionally attached to this game.
2. Helping the Mexican government for exchange for help getting your old gang. These guys are using you so they send you to hijack a train. Really awesome shooting on horseback then getting onto the train and fighting your way to the front before it reaches the bridge thats rigged to blow!!!
3. You finally caught up with Dutch your old gang leader. He's lost his mind and the US marshalls wont let you have your family back until you kill this SOB. Big shootout in the snowy fort followed by chase up the mountain where you catch up to him and he jumps off refusing you the satisfaction. WOW

Uncharted 2 The entire part on the train. Nothing hollywood has come up with has come close to that.

theres more but I'll save it for another post.

A human mage. That quest was one of my great disappointments in BG2. Knocking off the Twisted Rune with no buildup or consequences felt like a cop out. Also, several of those characters had the wrong class. Still, it was an epic battle in a tactical sense. Right up there with Mencar's band and that battle in the sewers. BG2 did great party versus party battles.

Memorable stuff...

The trial in NWN2. Gathering up all the evidence and then outmaneuvering Torio at her own game was great under normal circumstances. Playing that sequence as a bard was *epic*. Best use of perform in a D&D RPG ever. It was also the highlight of NWN2's campaign.

Crushing my party with undead sidekick One of Many at MotB's finale, then being treated to perhaps the most satisfying evil ending ever.

Converting Yuthura Ban on Korriban and the conversation with her later on Dantooine. That was KotOR's best moment of feel good fuzzyness.

Facing Yaga Shura and his army with my party of six for the first time. It was that point my band of misfits truly felt like a bunch of unstoppably godlike characters.

Edward crawling out of his sick bed to play a melody on his harp that saved the party from the dark elf. I think that was the first time I saw a game character do something heroic that did not entail violence.

FF3's entire opera sequence.

Random stuff from "Chrono Trigger": Lucca going back in time to prevent her mom's crippling injury. Frog's entire story arc. Racing Johnny on a jetbike. Almost everything that involved Magus or Ayla.

The final battle and ending to "Persona 2: Eternal Punishment". It defines bittersweet.

Do humorous ones count? Because I loved 'The Game' in Fable 3.

[foogoo]

Baldurs Gate 2: Defeating Kanggax
Dragon Age Origins: Defeating Gaxkang

[SOLID_EVEREST]

Ocean's House Hotel (if that is the name) in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. I actually had to keep reminding myself I was a vampire.

[naughty99]

also I loved the quest in Witcher 1 where you have to get drunk in a bar and then Zoltan and Dandelion dump you on either Triss or Shani's doorstep, so you can get yelled at while you're still drunk, with very blurry vision.

this was the best scene in the entire game IMO

[KLUME777]

Anyone remember New Reno from Fallout 2? That was epic.

Also, i really liked the mission where you have to guard the Silver rush for the Van Graffs in Fallout: NV.

The Dark Brotherhood and Whodunit in Oblivion.

And i loved the whole Onderan/Dxun part of KotOR 2

Heres a killer for anyone whose played Star Wars: Republic Commando (Quite posssibly my most favourite FPS, very strongly recummend anyone to play it, it really is top quality, before LucasArts went to ****). The ghost ship level where you have to board the Acclamater.

Yes, "Birds of a Feather," one of my favorites as well. You are actually working as a freaking henchman, guarding the door. Lots of fun and quite unexpected.

You know what, I totally forgot about New Reno. I really loved how they wrote in Bishop's wife and daughter that was pretty dang hilarious. I was really happy to hear about Mr. Bishop *wink* *wink* in New Vegas. Since I'm Mexican, I sided with the Mordinos lol. Little Jesus reminded me of my cousin with the same name (minus the little).

[Dominus]

I second the Dark Brotherhood and Whodunit quests from Oblivion.

The original stratholme quest from warcraft 3.

The comic book hero/villain side quest from Fallout 3.

That really, really long sidequest from WotLK that involves the 2 norse gods.

Navigating through moonside in earthbound. Bone bone bone.

Suicide mission from ME2.
