SSE Player Created Custom Quest Objectives

[Flinjos91]

We've all wanted or needed to do something while playing Skyrim, but everyone, myself included, has at one point always forgotten what they wanted to do. Whether it's wanting to craft a new item after the current quest is over, travel to some piece of new land, or whatever the case may be, we always find ourselves forgetting simple things that we want to complete then remembering about them 5 quests later.

 

That's why I've thought of the idea to be able to make custom "quests" so that whenever you want to do something you can simply log it and have it be a part of you quest journal. This would be fantastic for when you add a cool new mod that you want to check out, but soon forget about. A personal example of this is when I installed a new mod that added a cool new bow, but I never actually remembered to check it out until 10 quests into my gaming session.

 

An example of his this could work : Once you open up your journal you will see a button that says "Add Custom Quest." You will then type in what you need/want to do, and/or the many various steps. You will then save the quest entry and have that be in your journal for whenever it's possible for you to complete it. I previously stated how this would help you to remember to check out a mod you recently installed, so say when you launch into your game after you install said mod, you could quickly create a quest reminder to check it out later.

 

Unfortunately I'm not a skilled mod creator so I can't do this myself, however, I feel this is an incredibly valuable feature for any RPG to include. This seems like it would be rather simple to create as well so if any mod creator is reading this I would highly recommend adopting this idea and trying to create this mod. This could potentially become a HUGE thing for the community of Skyrim, and maybe be included in future Bethesda games as a highly useful feature.

 

Other possible features: Be able to set reminders that allow you set a time for it to remind you of the custom quest. Another possible feature would be the ability for whatever you log to have a quest marker. This would probably only be available for simple items such as "Obtain a [item]" and then it will tell you possible location(s) of the [item]. Example Quest: "Obtain [Daedra Heart] for daedric armor." It would then provide a quest marker to somewhere like an alchemist shop. I assume this would be rather difficult to pull off, but it would increase the intuitiveness just that much more.

 

Thanks for reading this and if you have any feedback or criticism it would be greatly appreciated!

Damn, this is a dope idea. I feel like it would deffs require SKSE, and with SKSE64 being in alpha still it might be hard to build...but it'd be cool as all hell.
