ENTOMBED QUESTS

[Adriano]

Hi all, just a complaint about the quests in entombed. I think that the characters [especially when there’s more than one] in a quest, should all not only be named, but their jobs so to speak should be named when you go the tavern to check out the quests available.

 

I have one quest in the game I’m currently playing, where the quest note mentions one named character. The character is an imp so I thought it shouldn’t be all that hard to kill an imp, even if it is a named imp.

 

I reached the position where the character in the quest was located, only to find there are 3 named imps, I think each of them or two of the three are necro’s.

 

I kill one, and one of the other necro’s brings back it’s bones, I kill another one, and bang, back come the bones so that it seems as though there are 10 of them instead of just 3.

 

Just a thought for jason [if he is indeed working on entombed 2] to perhaps think about adding?

There's nothing wrong with how quests are generated, it just takes some forthought to choose the right quests for your party. Far too often players go into TT and just say yes to the first batch of quests they check on, not paying any attention to the information given in the quest, which can help them understand how tough that quest will be.

 

The first key piece of information would be whether the primary enemy is named, if so, that will make the quest a bit harder than if it weren't listed as being named. Second, the quest always tells you the race and job of the enemy, the tougher the race and job the enemy has, the more difficult it will be. And third, sometimes quests will be listed as difficult or very difficult, and when you combined these pieces of information, you can determine if this quest is for you or not. Take your imp example, imps are pretty tough, magical creatures under normal circumstances, the primary enemy is named, and I'm guessing the tavern listing would've said very difficult, so yeah this will be a pretty hard quest. You'll likely have to burn some scrolls to complete this quest, or just skip it and come back a bit later when your party has leveled up a bit more.

 

And remember, when you go to TT and look up quests, if you don't like the ones given you, just answer no to all three, then reload the saved game and try again. The quests are randomized, so when you return after reloading the game, you'll get an entirely different batch of quests to look at. Just keep reloading until you find a batch of quests you think your party can handle, and that offer the rewards you prefer.

 

The quests I always find quite humorous are named cobolds or dungeon creeps listed as very difficult, and yet I can finish them off with one hit a piece usually and taking no damage myself. Since cobolds and dungeon creeps are extremely weak, even having names and being listed as very difficult still makes it a pretty easy quest, unless you would have a pretty fragile party.

The thing about quests is that you kind of need to accept them before you  actually go tot he floor. Otherwise funky things like that sometimes crop up.

Hey okay question. I got a quest from the tavern right? It was on the fourth floor. So then I decided since I was done exploring that floor, and was fixing to descend to the fifth floor, I'd take that quest. How dangerous could it be? Considering I've already like killed everything on that floor. Okay, so I protal my way back to the fourth floor, and I can't find the quest? I mean I press the / key to let it show me areas I obviously haven't explored since I didn't solve the quest. But it won't show me. Should I reload the game? I'm thinking about doing that. Please get back to me. Thanks
