Just wondering if quests will support multiple outcomes in this game? For example maybe you get a quest to retrieve a stolen magical artifact, and upon retrieving it you might have a choice of who you wish to give it to, or keep it for yourself, etc?
In king arthur the roleplaying wargame, quests have different endings, based on their difficulty. And that works very well, because it has a morality chart. and you can take tyrant or righteous decisions. There - at the moment - nothing like that in Elemental. It would really add an interesting layer of possibilities to the game.
I would actually like morality and possibly even culture to come into being via the sovereigns actions afterall he/she is the rolemodel for the rest of the kingdom/empire and His or Her's decisions will be told of in stories for centuries to come.
Besides we do need a way to have special dynamics like morality and culture take a role as i love their affects on diplomacy magic etc. and the darker and lighter arts should both have special spells for diff alignments as a good mage practicing dark magic may discover new spells the same is true viceversa.
And yes Multiple outcomes for quests would be awesome.
Unless I am mistaken, you have choices with the quests "strange noise" and the "Damsel in distress" on the outcome of the quest after you have taken it.
Most of the quests I have seen so far have several options in them already.
I haven't played the betas much at all, and I've seen events with multiple choices, although not quests. So I see no reason why there can't be, or aren't, multiple-choice quest endings. It's all about firing an event when certain conditions are met (such as "quest finished"), as far as I know.
