It's Up to You, which is the video game version of The Main Characters Do Everything.
Is there a trope for when NP Cs in a particular game frequently ask you to do the most mundane, inconsequential, or riskless tasks for them? Seriously, if you lived in the world of many computer RP Gs, the sheer quantity of apparent incompetence you'd be constantly surrounded by would drive you nuts. Oh, hey, could you kill this raccoon that's been in our trash? Well, yeah, but you could just keep an eye out yourself and take care of it. Yes, I guess I could deliver this to your friend in the next town over, but isn't there a postal system for this kind of thing?
