Life really is like a really shit game loop sometimes. You need to go to this place to get an item to do a thing but you need to go to another pace to get the item, bit the person with the item needs something some first, that thing needs another item, that item can only be got from someone who has lost it down a well, you for to the well, you need a rope, you need to swap an item for the rope, you need to find the item...etc Etc
