Witcher 3. “Here’s my ancestral family sword, take it and use it with honor.” -20 compared to the sword I found in the water that I have equipped.
Edit: whoa my first blow up.
I just love sneaking up on a group of burrowers, over-riding one, then destroying them all then letting the over-ride run out so the last one is like, WTF happened to my family?
“Congratulations on finishing this epic quest, you now have the Mastercrafted Sword, Level 5! Oh look, you just killed a guard, here’s a Rusty Sword, Level 10. And you’ll need it, because here comes a Level 15 rat.”
“I am the last in a long line of goblins. As you have bested me in combat, I give you this dagger. It has been the pride of my family’s historic lineage for over a thousand generations. They say all of our spirits are intertwined with this blade. Use it well.”
***Immediately checks stats, throws knife into a ditch***
This is the Legendary sword Alathmir, forged by the master smiths of the lost city of Mol’Thakar.
Me: And this a rusty iron sword i got off a dead bandit in the swampland that does 7 more damage per turn so open your inventory already i have some junk to sell.
Elden Ring be like: congrats! you just defeated a demi god. Here is their full armor set, sorry it’s worse than the fat suit you found sitting in a church
God of all swords
Description: Ultimate sword that has been crafted by the God of Forging, using the blood of satan, tear of Zeus, and a star’s compressed core.(unsellable)
Stats:
99 physical dmg
20 magical dmg
6 atk spd
20% true damage
A random legendary wooden like sword that you own that has 135 physical attack damage and 59 magical damage which also has 20% true damage and has hidden options (sellable)
All the time, and you cant even modify the weapon.
The next panel for me would be:
*Stashes special weapon because it’s unique.*
Horizons is an amazing game and I love it –
But sometimes the clothes and gear look and feel like Disneyland props.
There’s too many damn weapons. Elements are way too spread out.
Not as bad as:
Spend most of your money upgrading weapon -> Very next quest gives better weapon for free.

“This magic ring does me no good…”
Yeah, me neither Ormus
Literally the only reason I do not want to play Witcher 3 again

Witcher 3 was TERRIBLE for this.
Almost every unique fancy quest reward I got was thrown aside. When I say “almost every” I mean I think I kept 3-4 in a game I spent 180 hours in.
Elden Ring enters the chat:
Receives special weapon!
Its MUCH better than your current one!
Your build doesn’t support it.
The boomer quest that gave a special disc tosser weapon was especially disappointing when compared to the one I already had
Idk why but that top image is freaking me out.
Just give me an explosive spike thrower and I’m good to go.
Love launching those things across the battlefield like I’m Gerard Butler in 300.

Viva La Dirt League had a very amusing skit about this, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xYroItibp2M
Literally every item reward in Witcher 3

Borderlands. All of the games have underwhelming quest rewards.
Geralt of Rivia, chucking a sword that’s been in the possession of a dear friend for generations into the storage chest: “First time?”
Sounds like Skyrim with Dawnbreaker.
Skyrim once you have max smithing
Games be like:

*goes back to an early game sidequest*
*receives a one of a kind legendary weapon made out of the bones of an ancient three-headed dragon that you defeated*
damage: -147
Skyrim quest: gives you a special ring as a reward.
Me: Can only wear one ring at a time for some reason.
Quest rewards should dynamically scale based on your level/gear
Zelda BOTW: solve the puzzle, get the chest, it’s worse than every weapon you can carry, and you don’t have a free slot for it.
That fake Biggoron sword in Ocarina of time… I’ll never get over that betrayal.
