When I think about it, it's funny why we enjoy playing RPG's and running quests and what not on MMORPG's. Because when we have to do a quest in real life, we call it an errand, and we'd usually rather sit at home playing an RPG running quests to get some cool item (which are really just virtual errands).
Here are my last couple days as an RPG.
Ash: I want to get Ohio license plates to accessorize my car!
Ohio BMV: Well, well. I can do that. But first, bring me proof that your car meets my emissions standards.
Ash: Ahh...
Ohio BMV: I can't give you your Ohio license plates until you bring me proof.
Ash: OOK.
Ash accept's Ohio BMV's quest to acquire 1x Passing Emissions Inspection Report
And so Ash sets off to find the elusive Passing Emissions Inspection Report.
Ash arrives at the Ohio E-Check Emissions Testing Centre.
Ash: I want a Passing Emissions Inspection Report please!
E-Check Lady: The emissions monster is terrorizing our planet! He is holding our only Passing Emissions Inspection Report! If you defeat him, you can have it!
Ash: No problem, where is the monster?
E-Check Lady: It's just over there past these gates, but to enter you'll need to either pay $18 or give the gate keeper an official Ohio Vehicle Title . And we don't have any more of those.
Ash: Ohh.. I don't have one of those, where can I get that from?
E-Check Lady: I think I saw someone giving those out somewhere on South Meridian street.
Ash: OOK.
Ash accepts E-Check Lady's quest to find 1xOhio Vehicle Title.
Ash arrives on South Meridian Street and looks for any NPC's that might be handing out Ohio Vehicle Titles. He sees one!
Ash: Can I get an 1xOhio Vehicle Title please?
Title NPC: Sure. However I don't make them. I can only refine old Out-of-state Vehicle Titles into new Ohio Vehicle Titles. Do you have any old Out-of-state Vehicle Titles?
Ash gives Ontario Vehicle Title to Title NPC.
Title NPC: Thanks! It'll just be a moment. *clank clash bang*
Title NPC: Alright, I'm done! Here is your shiny new Ohio Vehicle Title ! Enjoy!
Ash receives Ohio Vehicle Title!
Ash returns to the Ohio E-Check Emissions Testing Centre.
Ash gives 1x Ohio Vehicle Title to gatekeeper.
Gatekeeper: Heh. Thanks. Good luck with the emissions monster... no one has ever returned...
Emissions monster attacks!
Emissions monster uses +2 visual inspection against Ash's vehicle!
The emissions monster wants to eat you because it cannot find a Check Engine Light
Ash use Service Manual!
The emissions monster sees the Check Engine Light. Ash dodges the emission's monster's hungry bite.
The emissions monster uses an ODB-II attack!
Ash is pinned down by the ODB-II cable!
The emissions monster reads three error codes!
-8129 HP
Ash faints!
And so I need to get my car checked before I'll be able to try for the emissions check again... good thing my last save point was right before battling the emissions monster, so I don't need to go through the trouble of getting the other items required to get to the monster.
