Funniest Or Most Disturbing Quest You've Completed?

MissyMad

So I've come across many hilarious or disturbingly funny quests in this game. I love them. The one that inspired me recently to make this thread is through the Aldemeri storyline in Reaper's March where an Altmer is in a contract for some Bosmer villagers. If he doesn't complete the contract on time, he has to eat his wife? Yes. Eat his wife. Unfortunately he's also almost out of time. xD
There are many I've come across throughout the factions that top that even. What are some of your favorites?

Playing as an argonian in ep the racism was thick. Also the more brutal stories are told. Ad is also caked in racism. Mainly in auridon. Nothing as brutal as ep though.

Most disturbing to experience: Cadwell's Silver and Gold.

haha! I just finished mine, I'm just glad I didn't make a lot of high lvl alts on other factions so it wasn't so bad

A Questionable Contract is the most amusing of them all in so many ways. Take Bosmer cannibalism, throw in the alcoholic wife of an incompetent Altmer mage, add a Daedric prince and a talking dog and....well....

The Hatching Pools is the most disturbing. If you think racism is thick in the EP, the AD has Joseph Mengele, or Ruuvitar as he's called. No comparison.

It's one thing to have prejudice against another race. It's quite another to not only try to annihilate them but also to attempt to prevent any future generations of that race from ever being born.

Disturbing indeed. This theme is picked up in the Dominion story line by the Veiled Heritance , the most racist extended story line in the game. Unfortunately the Queen is a self absorbed idiot and nearly loses her throne to her manifest incompetence, saved only by the game's most interesting NPC, Razum-dar, and your character of course

Even a tavern tune playfully describes what an utter ditz she is.

It took quite a bit of sheer will for myself and most of my friends to make it through the AD story. Auridon, however, is simply gorgeous and an outstanding achievement.

I gladly kill whatever the game throws at me or tells me to. No qualms or issues. Until we have to hurt the goats. There is one quest to find one for a dinner and another one that you have to sacrifice a goat.

I don't want to hurt the goats. Probably because down the street is a guy who raises them and when I walk by, the goats talk to me and want me to pet them.

There are some quests that tug at the heart strings, like the guy who wants flowers to honor his fallen lover. However its the letters that can get me all worked up. Some person is out trying to make a living and just wants to get back to their family. Only I find the letter near their corpse.

Your take on Queen Ayrenn is your own, and I honestly don't think the game portrays her in a negative light nearly as strongly as you imply. If anything, I think she was a fresh breath of air in a stuck-up Altmer culture of racism and false superiority, and she was not nearly as full of herself as most of her fellow Altmer, including the usurpers among the "old guard". But, to each their own, and your interpretation is no more wrong than anyone else's. Thankfully, the game does not have any purely deserving and obviously competent rulers. All of them are flawed and have both good and bad sides. There aren't even many one-dimensional bad guys. Quite a few of them have redeeming qualities or at least understandable motives for their actions.

On topic, the most disturbing quest for me was one in the Rift, where I helped a female Dunmer agent infiltrate and take down a Hagraven coven, and it ended up very badly indeed for her. I even avoided doing that quest for my second playthrough of the Rift. In that instance, she is still standing by the road asking for help, unharmed.

Questionable meat sack!

Most disturbing is pretty much AD story as a whole from Auridon to start of Reaper's March, you do so many horrible things in the name of Ayren keeping up the farce that Altmer aren't supremist and that putting trees and malevolent spirits masquerading as gods above the lives of people is a "good" idea.

The eyeball sucking hags from that quest in the Riften mines has definitely been my most disturbing so far.

I don't know which writer created that quest but my hat is off to him or her. Very nice job with that one.

Raz was one of my favorites for sure, SEMI SPOILER ALERT


One of the highlights of Aldemeri. I kind of hate how after the crown quest he just falls off the map so to say.

phairdon

Pact advocate quest in Grahtwood always bothers me. Find it slightly disturbing because Spinner Eranas is trying to save his wife's life
Nature turned against the village. Due to this you are required to determine which of the three characters are guilty by presenting evidence, which in turn leads to one of them losing their life.

Hurbster

The one where you essentially decide which half of the people you already saved on Bleakrock....die.

Also those eye-sucking Hagravens again. That was brutal.

Finally, that Ashlander woman who is looking for the ghost of her noble lover. That was dark and basically had no right answer.

Iago

I likebthe one that givesbyou the questionable meat sack

I hate that one. It makes me want to do horrible, horrible things to the aforementioned lover.

One I liked was the one in Bangkorai with the Khajiit selling Tamriel Is Doomed Survival Kits. Skyward-Eyes and her vampire Skeevers!

"Reaper's March?!! Did she say where in...no, of course not. That would be too easy!"

Let's see...

There's that one quest in the Rift, where this girl's dunmer boyfriend brutally murdered her abusive parents. You have the option of telling her and turning him into the authorities leaving her with nothing but the knowledge that her bf is a psychotic killer. Or you can do nothing, and let them live happily ever after, with her forever ignorant about what actually happened. yeesh...

There's the Unquiet Dead where you have the option to let necromancer dad enslave his young kid's spirit in the body of a flesh atronach , until he can figure out how to fully revive him. It's made abundantly clear Calion is suffering, and has been for at least 88 years.

There's that part in Greenshade, when you come across a bunch of Thalmor agents who've had their eyes taken out in a sick ritual to revive Naemon.

Hatching Pools has been referred to several times, but I'm still reeling from how sick it was. GG Ayrenn.

There's also that one quest in Grahtwood where you acquire an amulet as a quest item. While you hold on to this amulet a creppy voice will whisper things like "Murderer" and the like every other time you kill an NPC.

Yeah out of all the Questlines I found Ayrenn's quests to be the most interesting oddly. This could be that the Caldwells Silver and Gold Questlines are far too easy and for me at the time there was *some* challenge to the quests from level 5-20 or so.

When quests aren't challenging at all they become monotonous no matter how interesting the story is.

I just did that one for the second time in VR The Rift, its still horrible and disturbing, so much so I put off doing it a couple days before I could work up the nerve to do it again. Its the only quest in ESO that makes me cringe.

I actually liked having the amulet and ended up putting off the quest to return it until I was ready to leave Grahtwood.
