History Main / QuestGiver

** In ''3rd Life'', the minigame was "Dare to Flare", where the challenge is avoiding falling lava traps with Feather Falling as the reward and losing a life if the player would fail. [[spoiler:Bdubs and Martyn]] succeed in completing this challenge.
** In ''Last Life'', it was "[[TheBet You Bet Your Life]]", where the challenge is making a guess on who would turn Red first with the participants having to bet their lives; the losers permanently lose their lives and the winner is given an advantage in the bigger game. [[spoiler:Lizzie]] wins the bet on Day 2, gaining four lives in one go from other players who hedged their bets on the wrong players.

* ''LetsPlay/LifeSMP'': In both ''3rd Life'' (Season 1) and ''Last Life'' (Season 2), Tango created an avoidable but rewarding minigame for fellow players.
** In ''3rd Life'', the minigame was "Dare to Flare", where the challenge was avoiding falling lava traps with Feather Falling as the reward and losing a life if the player would fail. [[spoiler:Bdubs and Martyn]] succeeded in completing this challenge.
** In ''Last Life'', it was [[TheBet "You Bet Your Life"]], where the challenge was making a guess on who would turn Red first with the participants having to bet their lives, the losers permanently lost their lives and the winner was given an advantage in the bigger game. [[spoiler:Lizzie]] won the bet on Day 2, gaining four lives in one go from other players who hedged their bets on the wrong players.

** Quest givers appear as exclamation marks on your map in ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands}}'' and ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands 2}}''.

* {{VideoGame/Borderlands2}} uses floating exclamation points that are very obvious on the player's map, a vast improvement over the original.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' is full of quest givers. The most notorious example being the old man great plateau who's questline is unavoidable. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ6jisr1Nlk&index=1&list=PLSQLREUw9vwlh8bzgvZCt_WS8615trN5H&t=0s Though some players try]].

* ''LARP/OtakonLARP'' starts every character off with a couple of plot hooks to get them engaged, but the whiteboard is used for any player to become a quest giver for any other player.

* In the RPGMechanicsVerse series ''LightNovel/KonoSubarashiiSekaiNiShukufukuO'': Luna, the counter staff of the Adventurers' Guild, has the main duty of managing the requests board and alert adventurers to emergency quests.

** ''VideoGame/LaTale'' marks any NPC that has a quest for you with an exclamation mark. If you've completed, but not turned in, a quest by them, it changes to a check mark.

--> '''Cortex:''' I’m an evil scientist, what did you expect? [[ThisIsReality This isn’t a game]].

-->'''Sandwich Vendor:''' Look, buddy, I told you an hour ago. We don't accept no [[TwentyBearAsses quest items]] for no payment.
-->'''Red Mage:''' Sigh. [[SlashCommand /Bug]]: I have found a vendor who does not give the quest reward upon [[FetchQuest quest completion]].
-->'''Sandwich Vendor:''' Are you on the dope, son? Get out of here before I call the cops on you, punk.

* In a bonus ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' strip, Tempts Fate [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/tempts-fate-6/ pretends to be a quest-giver]] to trick some player characters that are trying to kill him into killing themselves instead.

** VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGames use question marks. Once you talked to the quest giver, the question mark changed to an icon depicting the item they needed.

*** ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' also features the third variety: A starting-area questgiver asks passing players to help him find his dog, with sound files no less. (Blizzard did this as part of a [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming a Make-a-Wish request]].)

* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', most quest givers patiently wait until the PC comes to talk to them, in full accordance to the WideOpenSandbox doctrine. The ThievesGuild questline in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' can be initiated by someone coming up to you, though (and the Dark Brotherhood questline in both that game and in ''Daggerfall'' is started by killing someone -- doesn't matter who, so long as it wasn't in self-defence -- and getting contacted by the Dark Brotherhood for recruitment).

* Miis in the Traveller's Hub in ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' will send the party into various {{FetchQuest}}s. Sometimes, they will even accompany the party.
