I like how this quest also has the orc upstairs who stands next to a big dumb rock, and you're supposed to divine that this dude is the amazing sculptor who Malacath needs to rebuild his shrine. I love not having quest arrows, but I needed a guide to figure that out.

I am trying out TR for the first time in years but whenever I get near a mainland location it's filled with yellow question marks and the game shuts down. I think I may have done something wrong.

I like morrowind but distinctly remember a Morag Tong quest where the directions are something like “past the lava lake, by the dead tree” in a wasteland full of lava lakes and dead trees

Lots of quests in Morrowind are like that, but they actually describe the scenery and what not. And in doing so you even learn what cool words like "foyada" mean.

Even in Skyrim, having a map and developing a sense of roads and landmarks is infinitely more satisfying than just barreling over the mountains toward the big white Dorito. Granted, the latter option is often funnier.

My favorite is the Imperial Cult quest where you're told to find a body on the "slopes" of Mount Kand when it's actually at the peak of the mountain.

I deliberately put in a badly signposted search quest for something on the slopes of Mt Assasnibibi in the original version of Muffinwind, with directions given by an NPC with a noted poor sense of direction, as an homage to that particular one I did change it in the Enhanced 2.0 Edition because I had by that point learned that making fun of something by doing it and going "haha this sucks doesn't it" is a poor form of humour

The first Redoran quest where you kill mudcrabs is my favourite. You get convoluted directions that will see you get lost when all you have to do is walk in a straight line west from ald-ruhn

I love not having quest arrows, but I needed a guide to figure that out. The townspeople have a gossip trail that leads to him. (Although it might end at "an Orc in the Orc house," I don't remember, but there are only like five of them. You can just talk to them all.)

Directions in Morrowind make more sense if you consider it from the designer's POV. They wrote all the directions from a bird's eye view of a fully explored map. If you get directions that say, from the lava lake, go to the map and look for a lava lake in that exact direction from the map screen. But wandering around lost, with a swarm of cliff chasers stuck on level geometry still thirsting for your blood, is a necessary part of the game.

I said it hundreds of pages ago, but I give much better directions in morrowind than I do in real life.

Thorbjörn Egner (1912-1990) was a beloved children's book author and playwright who wrote many of the classics of Scandinavian children's literature in the mid 20th century and has had a huge impact on the culture of the Nordic countries. His best known work includes: Folk og røvere i Kardemomme by (People and Robbers in Cardamomtown) A story about the townsfolk of a small peaceful town somewhere in the Maghreb. The town is beset by three bumbling robbers who after a failed kidnapping learn their lesson and become productive members of society. Klatremus og de andre dyrene i Hakkebakkeskogen (The Animals of Hakkebakkeforest) After being continually harassed by a fox the animals of the forest band together and make it law that all the animals in the forest should be friends and then sing a song about the importance of vegetarianism. Karíus og Baktus (Karíus and Baktus) Two small troll-like men have made their home in the teeth of a young boy called Jens. They torment the boy and demand sweets but are eventually driven from the mouth by the combined efforts of a dentist and a toothbrush. They are still used as bogeymen to scare children into brushing their teeth. There is literally no connection between any of his work and the Elder Scrolls which is why I thought it was an amusing idea to combine the two along with really bad puns.

One of my fondest memories of Morrowind was the first time I found the cave of the incarnate. I'd been wandering around the ash desert for what seemed like weeks in an ash-storm getting picked apart by the wild life. It felt really cool to finally come across those doors and get inside. Later I realized that I'd only been wandering in circles in the same 100 sq ft of area for all of about 20 minutes. But man did it feel epic!
