When encounter is designed to make you lose the fight thats really kino. It reminds when I saw starwars and darth vader said "Im your father".
Its a pure shock and the surprise makes me go "WOAH".
Fetch quests are important. When you travel from a to b it makes you think about the quest. This is very important. When you think about the quest it also makes you think why. And question "Why" is the most important question. Why are things? Why are? Why when? What?
