That shirtless guy in Morrowwind was an asshole. Sending some kid into a basement to fight giant rats well knowing that it'd be their first battle and likely not surviving, while he stayed at home shirtless and well fit to remove those pestering rats, just pretending to be an alcoholic or something.
puffs skooma
Sorry for being a job creator, n'wah.
You lazy N'wahs are all the same.
I'm not your n'wah, fetcher.
Wasn't that the first fighters guild quest and the rats are ground floor and in an attic?
Maybe. It's been a long time since I played it.
I mean your whole argument still stands though because iirc correctly the first real quest he gives is the "go into the bandit filled murder robot dungeon and find a tiny ass Rubik's cube"
iirc correctly
RIP in peace.
Damn I'm usually good about not messing that one up x.x
I'm going to head off to the ATM machine now, get cash for a French dip with au jus juice to help eat my mistakes away away
Thought you meant Saint Jiub at first, who wakes you on the boat and is also shirtless. Lots of shirtless dudes in the start of Morrowind.
Whaddya mean, "J"RPG? That's literally Morrowind you're describing!
J stands for janky.
Two, maybe three gods at that depending on how you feel about dudes that keep moons in the sky.
Four, if you count Hircine.
Eh, you don't get to kill that one
I am so proud of myself for remembering this. I was 13 and I didn't get much further than that quest. I remember being so taken aback that my character was so weak they struggled to kill rats.
What about the guy seeing a group of adventurers kill god and then telling them to kill rats?
Roveer?
Actually pretty close to BG 1/2. I think there's rat-killing in Candlekeep, and you end up killing a near-godess.
Same for 3, but the rat killing doesn't happen until near the end.
tbf these rats actually hit kinda hard
I don't remember any FF game having a rat killing side quest even at the beginning of the game, let alone at the end after you've killed gods. Shit... I don't even recall FF having side quests at all until, like, 7 with the optional boss battles for powerful materia.
Killing rats is more of a western RPG trope.
The very first thing you do as Vaan in FF12 is kill rats. Old Dalan even calls you Vaan Ratsbane when you meet him.
Trails in the Sky definitely comes to mind. But if you browse Square Enix's catalogue, there's probably plenty that fulfill it. Final Fantasy stands out because it's a little less tropey.
Defo Final Fantasy Legends.
And if you're lucky, you get to eat the rats afterward.
Don’t forget your saw
Roveer in BG3 when you've literally already killed a God's avatar: "RATS!"
Well
If any villagers were even still alive.
Sorry DA:O family estate, workers, and also my bisexual lovers, rest well knowing that I carried out your vengeance. I guess I also kind of avenged any rats who survived my slaughter, too, huh? Does that make us even?
