15 Dumbest Video Game Mechanics

FETCH QUESTS

Ah, the scourge of open world games that is, curiously enough, found in every open world game in existence. We all demand a deluge of content in games that go with the open world approach, and more often than not, developers deliver that content in the form of meaningless fetch quests. Go pick up that diary. Collect these 99 feathers scattered throughout the map. Go bring me ten herbs so I can cook this dish. Unless they’re properly contextualized and actually involve some enjoyable mechanics, fetch quests represent some of the worst tendencies of open world games.
