NPCs

You open Fisch. You see quest markers on your map — Phineas at the docks, the Angler at Roslit Bay, the Fisherman at the pier, the Collector at the Haunted Shipwreck. You accept all four. An hour later, you’ve spent 20 minutes sailing between locations, 30 minutes hunting a specific fish for the Collector that never bit, and 10 minutes completing the other three quests. Total reward: about 800 C$ and some bait. You think: “That was productive.” ...

Fisch has fifteen NPCs scattered across its islands, each offering daily quests. The game marks them all equally — a yellow exclamation point is a yellow exclamation point. There’s no difficulty rating, no estimated completion time, no indication of whether the reward is worth the effort. This is by design. The game wants you to accept everything and spend hours chasing specific fish across multiple islands because that keeps you playing longer. ...
