Imagine playig 2 player morrowind, you talk to the NPC who needs a fish. He says "its outside the city gate, follow the dirt path heading east and at the fork towards the south will be a river, down the river youll find a crashed boat, there you will find my fish". alright ill get the fish for you. you go outside the gate. where the fuck is the dirt path, then you get ganked by 3 alien ants and respawn across the map.
