Fantasy video games where i don't have to play the errand boy for every schmuck npc.

It's always the same fucking thing, that especially elder scrolls games and kingdoms of amalur suffer from: "Go there to this cave to recover some of this"

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: When i mean errants, i mean pointless fetch quest like that one argonian lady in the harbor of windhelm in skyrim that wants some sort of amulet
