Sliske's Endgame, on the other hand, hooo boy, it beat a five-and-a-half-year-record formerly held by Salt in the Wound for Worst Quest Ever . Which is impressive. But gadzooks was it terrible. I wouldn't say worst quest ever, but I agree that it's pretty bad. The interactions between the gods buoy it a little, though.
I agree the interactions between the gods were mostly fine, although I probably missed a few. But everything else - basically every bit where Sliske was even remotely involved - was plain terrible, really. As a quest I guess it's just bleh, but as a finale to a series of that magnitude, it's SitW-esque.
Also, +1 to MPD and TCC, and a hiss to Vardan and Chaos for liking MPD.

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Anyways, at the same time as making that top ten, I also figured out my bottom ten, which have changed a bit more than the top. From least to most tolerable~
Making History
Mourning's Ends Part I
Sheep Herder
Missing, Presumed Death
Rocking Out
Murder Mystery
Demon Slayer
Tribal Totem
Monk's Friend
All Fired Up
Demon Slayer is the Grufeld Bach version (I know it's changed since, but I've not played the newest). The last time the list was mostly quests I found forgettable, but on closer examination I found more that I actively disliked - with the exception of Monk's Friend and All Fired Up, which are just too small a scope to make any impact.
This is really interesting. None of these quests, apart from 2013-Demon Slayer but that's gone now, I would actually consider bad.
All Fired Up, Monk's Friend and Tribal Totem are, as you say, quite uneventful and don't have much impact, but they aren't really bad. In fact, Tribal Totem sets up Handelmort's shady character nicely, and All Fired Up features and interesting bit of Misthalin history, and Blaze is a great character.
Murder Mystery, while obviously it cannot compare to One Piercing Note, is a fairly decent shortish quest if you ask me, and sets up King's Ransom - which is a great quest - nicely. I wouldn't say I'm very impressed by it, but I wouldn't call it bad.
Rocking Out I don't get - I absolutely love that quest. No elaborate puzzles or anything, but excellent exposition for the latter half of the pirate series, fine gameplay and as always hilarious dialogue.
MPD makes perfect sense.
Sheep Herder, sure, the mechanics are rather bad. But then why isn't Tai Bwo Wannai Trio on there too?
I like MEP1, it starts a nice subarc of the elf series, though it's probably best seen together with MEP2.
Making History the worst quest? I honestly don't know why. Gameplay's fine, and of course all the glorious LORE.
