Based Questing is when someone pursues life side quests entirely on their own terms without bending to anyone else’s expectations.
It is the act of stepping off the “main path” to explore adventures, habits, hobbies, or experiences purely because they resonate with you. A based quester follows their inner compass, treats detours as essential chapters, and levels up through conviction-driven exploration rather than chasing approval.
Key traits:
• Low-stakes exploration fueled by deep alignment
• Rejecting pressure to follow a predetermined timeline
• Letting curiosity and courage shape your character arc
• Choosing paths that build self-trust, not performance for others

“Everyone signed up for the big bus tour, but I rented a scooter and went based questing around the island solo. Riding a scooter is what makes me feel the most alive: wind in my face, no schedule, no crowd, just pure freedom. While they paid for an overhyped, overpriced, watered-down version of the island, I was out there carving my own path and soaking in the real thing.”

Get the Based Questing mug.A remake of the 1988 JRPG Dragon Quest III released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC in November 2024. In the months leading up to its release, the game became controversial for its censorship of the late Akira Toriyama's character designs and the removal of gendered terms when referring to the protagonist. The controversy reached its peak when a viral interview with Dragon Quest creator Yuji Hori revealed that the changes were made solely to comply with Western regulations, coupled with developer and publisher Square Enix's attempts to scrub the video from the Internet. Upon release, the game sold moderately well but was poorly received by many fans of the series due to the aforementioned changes.
Everyone who was involved in censoring Mr. Toriyama's work for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake needs to apologize at his grave.

Get the lazor quest mug.Quest, a guy who, once you meet, you'll never get tired of. He's extremely loyal in relationships and friendships. This guy's strong, mentally. He can make it through anything. He's good at hiding emotions, but it's probably a habit he should work on. He's very very attractive, tall, too. He probably wears glasses, but doesn't like to for some reason. He has many talents and knows it, but doesn't brag.
