Update is out, Patch notes above.

I am free now...

If it does not suddenly break once you play it - the AI likes to betray me like that - maybe give me a Like? Please? Modder needs validation through internet points, to know his time was not wasted.

Joking aside, this version might be all I could hope for when I started with this project - given the limitation the game sets. Now I will likely wait for the base game overhaul of the quest system and see, if I need to start anew. In any case, I have learned some things and can finally enjoy my quests without hesitation.

So, new update on the horizon.

I had two main concerns with the current version:

1. Sometimes Quest Outcome would undermine the Task. Something like "Deliver package" could end in "While traveling, you are ambushed", which does not work with game logic at all and risks continuity. Should be eliminated now.

2. Quest generation currently tends to create too much filler, mechanical delay and other low-substance Tasks for my taste, which I hope to reduce as well and replace with more meaningful Steps.

Currently I am in testing phase, might take a bit before I am certain it is worth updating. (This is the second (third?) re-write since the last update, so I had some versions which were only different, not notably better, in my opinion.)

There is now also an alternate version with shorter Epic Quests (3-5 Tasks), if some players might prefer this direction more.

Had to bring the progress counter back, since it seems on Sapphire the event check never allowed Quests to complete for some, so there is now a fallback. Quest Complete and Rewrite should still be more common than before, at least with the free model I am using.
Also some other small adjustments, mainly trying - trying... - to forbid colons in quest results as those mess with the format.

I playtested it last with Alpha, the quest system is no different from the stable release, so it works as well as it can. (Currently working on a Short Quest Version, but the free AI seems to have a bad day and only produces subpar output in general, so I can't test it right now properly.)

" coaching an AI is like herding cats"
Wise words, how is it with alpha?

Must-have.

We are, after much testing and tuning and bleeding finally here, version 2.0.
Seriously, if you are so inclined; please look at the files. Look what the original quest prompts look like, and then what I have done with them. We are so very close to the free token limit, otherwise I would have liked to insert more, but, well, this is what I can do within this frame.

I rewrote that stuff about 3-4 four times at this point, so, I really hope it shows.
Please let me know. Or not. Your choice. Because that is the point here.

And now watch, when Max (the developer) rolls out a new quest system within the next three months to make all my efforts in vain. It will be glorious.

Having a way to dynamically reject quest tasks would be great tbh, I just had an experience where the game railroaded me into abandoning the faction I was *already aligned with* despite it making absolutely no sense given my character (and also given that I had already outright killed everyone it was giving me an option to betray my faction for)

So, I have made a pretty substantial overhaul of the whole quest generation now, not only end-goal side quests but open-ended and main quest as well. Also an easier ability to dynamically reject quest tasks through narration and replace them with new ones within the same quest (somewhat volatile, but still.)

I just wonder, should I put all of this into this mod or create a new one? Pushing such a massive change on a mod already out for some time feels weird, what if you all like the open-ended quests as they are? But then again, why would you be here then?

Some more adjustments to the prompts for the five people who already found the mod mentioned in the forum, hello there. I am quite pleased with results so far, I hope you will be, too.

With this we are also public, so I expect at least five more people to find this.
