i personally HATE the quests for BGtSCC. the only ones that seem good at all do not even give xp. they are the collect bones/hides turn in for gold.
what would make the current state of questing better? to me, i think a linear questline based approach is the best way to go. have it fit within the lore of the lands.
example:
soubar (one of four starting and respawning areas. others being inside BG, outside BG, and Uruk Lurra)
-mag tells you to get rid of a big spider in the hallway--kill spider---update+xp
-tell mag that the spider is there because it is eating all the rats--- kill rat nests(rats nests are spawns not static)---update+xp
-tell mag that wererats are the bigger problem-- slay wererats---update+xp
-mag tells you about an old temple to bane under inn---enter temple and kill quest triggered boss--- item and xp
-mag tells you to speak to a mage at a table---talk to table mage---update + xp
-table mage starts you on a questline that revolves around the minotaur tower and then to bugbears ending in bugbear cave.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uruk Lurra (optional starting and respawn point for orc/ho characters only)
-orc npc tells you to get tokens from the blacksmith/shaman/cook in meteor site cave/etc---speak to each one that gives you a guest to get the tokens
-do each quest(noncombat and/or combat)--update+xp+token
-return tokens to initial q giver--update+xp+gold
-orc npc tells you to speak with chieftan's Lt. lt tells you to investigate cave in near meteor--kill bears recover hides as proof--return to Lt with hides--update+xp
-Lt tells you to about bear shrines and the grey render--kill grey render--update+xp
-lt tells you to travel to soubar to find merchant for bear hides--go to see merchant--update+xp
-can repeat bear hides for gold and xp(small)
-merchant gives you a quest for bandits by bridge--kill quest triggered bandits--update+xp
-merchant gives quest to hassle another merchant--intim/bluff/diplo or kill merchant--update+xp
-merchant gives quest to kill wolves for hides(repeatable)-- kill wolves-+xp(small)+trade gold
-return to Lt to get quest starter in bugbear area and optional group quest take to take out ants in ant cave-- kill ant queen- update+xp+item (change xp to cr3/4 but maintain duo/trio level difficulty.
this would take alot of work i know, but the work done will be worth it. i really think so.
better questing system?
