So far I have 5:
Collecting missions. You have to find x amount of items.


Kill. You have to kill x units.


Protect Person.
You have to protect a person as he journeys from a to b.


Take item.
Take an item from a to b.


Find person. Find a lost person, ex gf, whatever.

Tough one, looks like you got a good chunk of the generics right there. Maybe they tell you to go explore a disturbance or something and then when you get to the location there will be either a monster or an item or nothing there?

1-Good
2,3,7 are all covered by kill missions.
4 is take item
5 and 6 are both good.
I actually only want 9 and that makes 10 but keep the ideas coming.
These are all for side quests more than mains, so Puzzles can be for main. I have a hawt idea for my RPG which is why i need these but I don't want to say too much or it might get stoled <_< >_>


EDIT
Actually thats only 8, I can have 1 more.

LOL loki thats my storyline, are you a mindreader or something? Obviously there are a lot more details but that is the underlying main quest.

Vrael already said bring ring to mnt doom. But this map is a zombie map so it doesnt quite work...ALTHOUGH i could have bring the one ring with the only zombie cure in a secret compartment to the crop sprayer thingy...meh needs some work.

Yeah, technically they're definitely not for StarCraft, but RPGs are RPGs.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
