Go Wait Outside	comment	So, our hero has just given the blacksmith or healer some unobtanium or rare plant he gathered from the far reaches of Slippy-Slidey Ice World to make into something he can actually use in battle. The NPC tells him it will take a while "so wander around and come back." Our hero, ever impatient to get on with his epic quest, comes right back inside after walking out, probably to bug the NPC with taunts of "Are you done yet?" Amazingly, the NPC is not only finished with the commission, he asks what took our hero so long to get back. This is a video game trope in where the game expects the player to Talk to Everyone in town while waiting for the Item Crafting NPC to finish, but the actual programming causes the Event Flag for them to finish to turn once the player leaves the building. This leads to the hilarious situation where the NPC can apparently finish the Infinity +1 Sword in less than half a minute. If the game forces the player to finish a dungeon or some other plot event before the "commission" (likely some Plot Coupon) is finished, that's a Broken Bridge.

Go Wait Outside / int_13a33716	comment	The builder in the Westguard in Spellforce 2 will often tell you to "go save someone" while he finishes some improvement to the province's castle. This pretty much means to leave the map and come back.

Go Wait Outside / int_20eec977	comment	In some of the Story of Seasons games, you'll be kicked outside while your wife is delivering your child (obviously not in those games where you're playing a female farmer, since she's doing the delivery herself, though her husband may still be told to leave). Whether you can reenter right away or not varies by game; in some, reentering your house will kick the clock to evening, and in others, you must wait around on your farm until after a certain point in the afternoon or evening (this gives you a chance to work, though usually with the caveat that you can't leave your farm itself, so no gathering in the mountains or talking to other villagers).

Go Wait Outside / int_49ad83ee	comment	A variant in World of Warcraft is equally silly. You're told to wait, but three seconds later he's done. However, there's a good reason it doesn't happen for more than a few seconds in WoW. Griefers could simply log off and wait in the building to prevent anyone from turning in quests to that NPC.

Go Wait Outside / int_526d4c5c	comment	The end trigger in the 'Mission's Brother' quest in Knights of the Old Republic is a particularly amusing example: the trigger for the next conversation is you leaving the zone, but because of how the despawning system works, you can overtake Griff on the way to the door, come back in and be told he skipped town while he's still visible behind you. If you ask Ajuur to set up a duel with Bendak, it "takes some time" to bribe officials etc. If you have that conversation late enough in the main Taris storyline, this is apparently just long enough for you to get to the door and back.

After handing them over to the friendly NPC who will fill them out and mail them in for you, you have to go kill some time in a dungeon before any prizes will arrive. Also in Persona 3 because the game follows a strict calendar time outside the dungeon, where each day is divided into time periods that some actions will advance. The antique shop owner always requires a day (or two, for everyone's ultimate weapons) to produce requested weapons. And in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. There's a dwarf in one area who will make you special weapons if you bring him the right forma, but it takes him a set number of moon phases to finish.

If you leave the building and immediately return, the smiths won't be finished, but all you have to do to trigger the flag is leave the larger map screen where the shop is located. A faster way is to get there in the Dark World, whip out the mirror, go to the Light World, drop the thing off, then step in your mirror portal and immediately warp back. All done! The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time does this with the Biggoron Sword. It takes three days for him to finish making the sword, after you run through the a long Chain of Deals. In this case, it can be accelerated through use of the Sun's Song. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has a convenient distraction in the form of a sub-plot resolution when the blacksmith is forging the Phantom Sword.

Attempting to breed chocobos in Final Fantasy VII involves "wait time." The flag is triggered once you fight about ten battles at any spot. In Final Fantasy VIII, after finishing the first half of the Shumi Village sidequest (when Attendant is assigned to help sculpt Laguna's statue), the quest will not continue until you exit to the world map and re-enter the village.

Go Wait Outside / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Being a game that is aware of its own internal calendar, and likes to use it, Daggerfall has the player submit his worn weaponry to a merchant who has skill repairing weapon items and being asked to come back in x days when it's done. In fact, it takes x+1 game days to be repaired as the merchant doesn't even start on it until the next day. A good number of quests in Morrowind require that you leave the area the quest giver is in and wait before you can get another quest out of them. Some, like part of the main quest involving the Ashlanders and one in Bloodmoon involving the Skaal shaman, allow you to simply leave the quest givers hut and come right back in to continue. The most notable is Boethiah's quest to rebuild his shrine. It does actually take about two in-game weeks for the sculptor you've hired to complete the statue. You can just Rest/Wait until you get the journal message that the statue is complete, however, you must first leave the building the sculptor is located in, otherwise, the event flag won't trigger and he won't move to the construction site.

Sometimes you actually do need to walk around a bit, but it's just as common that you can walk out and into the building. Averted in the Day Care Center, where you must spend some time walking to get two paired-up Pokemon to yield an egg. Also averted with the Apricorns in the Generation II games—after giving the Apricorns to Kurt, you have to wait a day before coming back to retrieve the special Poké Balls made from them.

It happens two more times during just that one quest. A few such occurrences have the NPC completing the task just by re-initiating conversation with them after they told Geralt to wait.
