Those of you commenting about bad mechanics and how terrible this was, the mechanics were intentional, the quests were freebies, and they are an unsubtle reference to something you children out there might not have the nostalgia to appreciate.

Joust was one of the original cool sidescroller video games. It was a bunch of platforms, floating over lava, and you had to take your flying Joustrich around impaling other people ostriches and stealing their eggs. The challenges were: the invincible Pterodactyl, falling in the lava, being hit by other jousters (you panzies lucked out not having to deal with that) and the game play mechanics, which were strongly rooted in inertial physics. You flapped to get air and momentum, you skidded on the ground to try to slow down.

Given that these quests were A) easy B) rewarding and C) entertaining, I see little to complain about.
