That thresher mission was one of the worst side quests I’ve ever played in Borderlands
I’ve played every Borderlands and Wonderlands to 100%. The early game mission about making threshers mate was so bad I just about turned off the game.
- Hike over to this cave and find thresher eggs
- Except they don’t mention killing the threshers to get eggs, or if they did then I didn’t catch it, you’re just supposed to assume that after all the incoherent rambling of the quest giver
- The quest radius is only part of the cave.. what’s up with the rest of the cave?
- Cool, fight like 100 threshers and kill the badasses. Oh but they dive in the ground every 0.001 seconds and stay there so good luck killing them
- Bring eggs back
- Oh guess what! Go fetch quest mangler meat
- Gotta go do that I guess
- Not terrible but yet another fetch in a fetch quest
- Sit around while quest giver rambles
- Fight this thresher but it doesn’t have a health bar
- Ring the bell three times and fight waves of other enemies
- Then do menial tasks
Like Jesus Christ who thought this was a good idea? This is like a 30 minute quest full of nothing.
