You can just ask random people for quests!

I went to a pub and asked this guy if he had any missions for me. He turned to me with a serious look, said and I quote: “I need you to recover an 8GB white Toshiba flash drive I lost around here yesterday. It has some valuable information, but it’s encrypted, so dont go snooping in. If you find it for me. I’ll make it worth your while.”

      smells like copypasta, but random strangers will deadass just give you shit to do if you ask, and the “ask for rumors”-thing totally works irl

      It’s gotta be a copypasta, the format seems very similar to that one about TES Oblivion, with the person asking for rumors at a bar and being told a guy went missing in the mountains or whatever. Been a while since I loaded up a stalker game, but the “it’s encrypted so don’t go snooping” bit I think is actual game dialog, no random person would say this.

    And you feel like youre in a stalker game because it was realeased at a time when 8gb thumb drives were still a thing?

          I use 8gb thumb drives! They’re what’s in my miscellaneous drawer and I haven’t needed a larger one

            The guy above you was obviously being disingenuous. I use 8gb thumb drives to organise my jobs and hobbies. All the work I need for Job A is on Drive A etc.

            So there’s got to be at least ten of us. Maybe even twenty!!

              You can get a bunch of fairly reliable 8GBs cheap from the right places, I use them for boot media or installers or “man it’d be really nice to move a file from here to there without much thought” scenarios

          I still use 8gig, but for work. If I’m giving this away with three docs on it, I’m buying them in bulk and trying to get them cheap

      because he is lying it is not actually encrypted the quest has two endings. it depends on what you decide to do with the drive

    I thought I wouldn’t have a mission for anyone but then I realized I’m an escort quest and unlockable companion.
