The humble fetch quest gets a bad rap. Play enough RPGs and you will come across them: a farmhand wants you to gather five lost pigs from around their farm, even though they’re paid five gold coins an hour to do exactly that. Grandma Goggins wants you to fetch her cat from a character who wants a poisonous mushroom from a character who wants backstreet dentistry from another character, and so on. The fetch quest is lazy makework, a notch down from the ‘Kill X wolves’ quest.
Wytchwood is, effectively, ten hours of fetch questing. It’s a concentric web of characters all wanting different items, which in turn unlocks the next ring of item-hungry characters. You will be picking up everything from the floor, simply because Barry from the Docks might want it for a stew in five hours’ time.
Sounds horrible, doesn’t it? There is no denying that Wytchwood…
