    I become invested in a character if the story attached to it is well written or if i get to make meaningful decisions with it.

    If the gameplay attached to it is boring or if i only run around the map hunting bear asses, why would i become attached to that?

    Fetch quests just stretch out the game to keep you occupied.

    Even hated that in games like skyrim, but you could mostly ignore it and level by exploring. In most MMOs its most of the game which is just awful and outdated. Just like mindlessly killing mobs.

      Do you enjoy the fights in WoW/Skyrim/whatever? If so, surely an uninspiring quest is still fun because it gets you to engage with a fun mechanic?

      If not, then you can at least understand that other people do?
