The Lost Tourist

I read about a man who got very lost in Iceland, TWICE, by following a misinformed GPS. He became famous there, for it. I thought that would be a great kind of character to add as side quest for a badge, The Lost Tourist. Oh, what if we were told to follow the quest arrow, and it said we were going one place, but actually took us somewhere else, or we didn't know where we were going and had to follow it to several places?

I like the part about the lost tourist, but making the quest arrow give us wrong directions? Wouldn't that destroy any trust in the games mechanics?
What if the quest arrow was negated for that quest, as it is for Zeke's quests? Then we have to ask to ask NPCs for directions & they give us wrong answers?

Speaking of getting lost I swear I ran into you the other day at Avery's court and you looked just like me . You ran off somewhere on your red buck steed and I got lost trying to follow you whilst I celebrated at finally finding a twin that looked like me, but got sad that I could find you. Well anyways fair sailing pirates-

You have a point about the trusting the game mechanics. I agree with you. How about the arrow would lead you exactly where you need to go for the quest, working perfectly? It would be the quest dialogue that would say something else. Quest name: follow the arrow A NPC would say something like "I think you need to get the sushi at Zhu Ro's teahouse" If you don't use the arrow and go to Zu Ro's, you find someone who says, "I think you are lost, no sushi here.". If you follow the arrow, it takes to to Sujimura teahouse, which is where you actually need to go. That way, those who just follow arrows will be fine, and those who think they know where to go will be lost. Cool Ranch might be a good place for something like that with it's stagecoach tempting people to take a shortcut. If it was a multi part quest some of it could also be like you said, with no quest arrow usable, maybe for the last stage. Someone suggested some crew with a Hope and Crosby, "Road to (Morroco, etc.) theme. If that happened, this would make an interesting portion of promotion quests.

"Wouldn't that destroy any trust in the games mechanics?"

Yeah, how often have you taken a wrong path because the quest arrow pointed that way, then, suddenly turned around and pointed a different way?

Not often in P101, but in W101, especially in dungeons, that arrow is a troll!

Legendary!

I call Kane a heartless wretch! But mostly I poke fun at Bishop.
