If you’ve ever played RS or OSRS you know this, the quests in both of those games are inspire, creative, challenging, and usually tell an excellent story in the process. Completing a quest in Runescape is a rewarding experience that develops your character.
WoW in comparison tries to tell you a story (that you’ll usually skip), then asks you to go kill 15 generic mobs, get 20 boar butts, you name it.
I think WoW would benefit from more interesting quests with perhaps longer lasting rewards.
yes, because helping a bunch of dumb*** goblins decide whether red armor or green armor is better ONLY TO GO BACK TO BROWN ARMOR is really worth your time.
One of few short and OLD quests from ~2001-2002. Try RS3 not OSRS. The quests are awesome.
Also, go look at Mokthardins Enchantment from pre-cata. You literally grind gorillas until you get it to drop. You either got super lucky, you abandoned the quest, or you spent hours grinding multiple levels just to get the item to drop. I’d much rather do the goblin quest than that trash. The goblin quest at least had some humor in it.
I cannot agree more. Runescape definitely gets it’s questing right. However, the thing about Runescape is that improving your toon level isn’t done primarily via questing rather grinding. Thereby this gives Jagex alot more time to design their quests in which each and everyone one of them is crafted with care and thought put into it.
Runescape quests are more stand-alone adventures, whereas WoW quests are more or less tasks that are part of a long chain. Not to say that the quest writing is always superb, but if someone doesn’t read the quest text it can seem pretty bland.
ESO is pretty good too. The one where the dead father left a fun treasure find game for his son, written on a goodbye letter, freaking got me man. I found the treasure and brought it to the son. Got me so hard.
