About the Quest

This quest is the result of a few months of planning and contruction on a thesis project. The thesis focused on creating quests without relying on the user interface to deliver quest information to the player in the hopes of increasing player immersion.

My initial release of this quest put a full emphasis on this focus and did not use any quest markers at all. However, as a result of a lot of user testing I came to realize that some quest markers are needed, especially in instances where the player needs to traverse a great distance over a large game world. What this means is that for this version of the quest, I chose to add in some quest markers where I felt they were needed, but still left them out in some areas where I wanted the player to investigate and explore.

Overall, I think the quest is a much better representation of my skills as a designer, and it's a heck of a lot more fun. I hope you enjoy this quest as I spent a lot of time and effort making it awesome.

**NOTE: SINCE THIS WAS A SCHOOL PROJECT, I MOST LIKELY WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO GO THROUGH AND FIX ANY OUTSTANDING BUGS. IF YOU FIND ONE THAT PREVENTS YOU FROM COMPLETING THE QUEST LET ME KNOW AND I WILL WORK ON FIXING IT.**

alright, the bandits didn't spawn. i "fixed" the problem by getting out, coming back in, activating the thing again and then finally getting out one more time

Same problem with the necklace. What is the "A Student's Plight" quest ID so I can mark it as completed?

Thanks for the feedback! The reward you get for the quest is actually much better than it was in an earlier version, but you might be right. It's hard to balance new items against the rest of the game, considering I didn't want to give the player something that would make the rest of the game a breeze. I tried setting the balance of the quest for completion around level 12-15, so it would take place fairly early in the overall campaign.

I had hoped to have an artist friend of mine create a custom model for the weapon, which would have made up for the rather lackluster stats to at least give you something that looked really cool, but with all of us busy working on our thesis papers at the time, it was a hard sell. Thanks for playing either way!

Im sorry to say but the reward is kinda bad for the effort of the quest.

Uhh...off the top of my head I can't think of a way to fix it without starting a enw game.
