You can just ask random people for quests!

I went to a pub and asked this guy if he had any missions for me. He turned to me with a serious look, said and I quote: “I need you to recover an 8GB white Toshiba flash drive I lost around here yesterday. It has some valuable information, but it’s encrypted, so dont go snooping in. If you find it for me. I’ll make it worth your while.”

    And you feel like youre in a stalker game because it was realeased at a time when 8gb thumb drives were still a thing?

          I use 8gb thumb drives! They’re what’s in my miscellaneous drawer and I haven’t needed a larger one

            The guy above you was obviously being disingenuous. I use 8gb thumb drives to organise my jobs and hobbies. All the work I need for Job A is on Drive A etc.

            So there’s got to be at least ten of us. Maybe even twenty!!

      It’s gotta be a copypasta, the format seems very similar to that one about TES Oblivion, with the person asking for rumors at a bar and being told a guy went missing in the mountains or whatever. Been a while since I loaded up a stalker game, but the “it’s encrypted so don’t go snooping” bit I think is actual game dialog, no random person would say this.

      smells like copypasta, but random strangers will deadass just give you shit to do if you ask, and the “ask for rumors”-thing totally works irl
