I feel like I am in a STALKER game.

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."

Wait are you deadass or is this a copypasta
- 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
- 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.
And you feel like youre in a stalker game because it was realeased at a time when 8gb thumb drives were still a thing?
- They still are??? Tons of people still use them
  
  I‘d like to meet the people that use 8GB thumb drives in 2023. All 3 of them actually.
If it’s encrypted, why does he care if you snoop around on it?
- because he is lying it is not actually encrypted the quest has two endings. it depends on what you decide to do with the drive
Me too. The ai is fantastic.
I thought I wouldn't have a mission for anyone but then I realized I'm an escort quest and unlockable companion.
