Arc quests?
« on: October 26, 2010, 03:42:59 pm »

An arc quest would be a quest that, once completed, spawns another quest (for undetermined reasons), then completing that will lead to another, and so on and so on. They range from 2 quests long to as many as 50 (or more) quests long! (enough to keep you busy of some time.) Of course, the quests will need to vary, so this won't be much of a cool thing and more of a annoyance ( :'() intill more quest types are added, so this will have to wait a bit on the side-lines for some time. It sounds like a cool idea for the future!

Already planned. Quests are supposed to eventualy overarch into a bigger plot, all randomly generated of course.

all randomly generated of course.

Procedurally generated, rather.   Random is the game rolling dice to see how many boar hides you have to collect.   Procedural is a noble who needs boar hides sending you on a mission to retrieve some.

Oar the parents of said boars because it were actually Boar-man-hides.

But the Captn is right with all the stuff that wents into the History generator and Ai you will have Arc-quests happen naturally even some where you cant say if one quest is part of it or not.
