COLLECT “X” NUMBER OF ITEMS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE GAME

You know what really grinds my gears? Fetch quests. “Oh hey, Chosen One- could you please go to the fields and correct five carrots and some herbs for me so I can make this soup?” It’s inane, and meaningless- but it’s harmless. You know what grinds my gears even more? Quests like that that span a huge chunk of the game, if not all of it. “Oh hey, Ezio. I know you’re really busy being an assassin and killing all these evil templars and avenging your family, but I could really use your help collecting a hundred bird feathers scattered across all corners of Italy, just.. you know, coz.” Or “Niko, I know you have a lot on your plate, and that your plans to achieve the American Dream are going horribly wrong, and your cousin keeps bothering you with invites to go bowling even though you’ve said no at least twenty times, but why don’t you ignore all that and kill these two hundred flying rats first?”

No. No, game, I’m not going to do that. Stop asking me.
