A fedex quest in mount and blade simply has you collect some garbage and get some coins, or the motivation in oblivion is just to do quest x only to get ino the mage's guild and it has nothing at all to do with the rest of the game....

Well, even the "Deliver this package to the next town and I'll pay you a stack of gold!" is a lot better than the mage guild quests in Morrowind. At least with a statement like that let's the player make the choice to do it. Do I need gold? Is the gold worth the trip out to the other location? However, making pointless fedex quests as part of a linear string with no actual or decent reward is just flippin' lame.

That is true. In mount and blade theya re just one offs, unfortunately you are forced to do the stupid things, though.

The whole formulaic advance within the guilds quests that have nothing to do with the rest of the game is just braindead, though. It is not horrifying, but when you consider most of the quests are likely along the same lines then it does not look good for the game....
