Im sorry, but this game has the worst quest log ever

[Blackened Halo]

Why change something that works? There are quest menus under another quest menus under another quest menus. They are connected by some lines. In the middle there is hexagon divided into two parts. For some reason sometimes one part is blurred, the other has a clear picture. Some quests in the quest log are connected to a question mark in a circle, some are connected to a question mark in a hexagon. Sometimes there is a quest unlocked (I assume because in the hexagon there is a picture, not a question mark anymore), but there are no missions connected to it at all. Also there are mission marked with a blue question mark. There are not written anywhere. They just are on the map.

I do not if it is just me but for me it is so confusing, so unnatural. Its just a big mess...

You will get used to it. Learn to adapt.

That was not my point at all.

It's like a flow chart. Whatever section has color or an icon, means it's an active quest or one of your active quests. Whatever is grayed out is inactive or needs to be discovered by talking to villagers or finding out more information.

I generally like it, except for the part that when I press Select (or whatever that button is called nowadays) when a new quest can be made active, the game takes forever to go to the quest in the quest log.

It was messy for me in the first 3 hours, then I got used to it and it makes absolutely sense. Old classic diary as in first outcast was sufficient, but this quest menu is basically like any quest/subquest tree.

The Questlog ist a Question of use to it. Ill think it isnt not really bad. Some parts are not optimally (for example he says catch 4 fish and you need for a perfect success more as 100%+. And when you want to improve the quest you cant make a new activation.

But complete its not really a bad questlog.

[Bliccer]

you mean it's overexplained and having spoilers inside the questlogs? And it knows things before you found out about them?

After getting used to it in the first few hours, I've come to like it. While it probably could be better introduced and clearer, I like how it shows relations between quests a lot. Like when you do different quests in different villages or having a longer break, you can immediately remind yourself why you are doing quests and to what end.

Yeah, it's a bit clunky, but I like it because it doesn't feel like you're doing a linear list of items being checked off, like, basically every other game recently. Feels more creative and less like I'm using a task tracker/project manager/jira-clone/etc webpage in game. :/

[Яeplicant]

It's not the worst, nor the best but it is definitely clunky. Takes a bit to get used to but that's about it.

[AlexBLR]

Not easy, but... it's something visually new. Each task(center hexagon) combines from others tasks (edge hexagons) that yo can choose from which you want start, and each of them have objectives too... I guess simple Treee is something that would look very complicated...
So that is okay. Unusual but it works.

What frustrating is... when you press TAB to track some misson that you wating for, then mouse locks, everything unresponsive.. each 5 secons happening some ♥♥♥♥, after what you can back to playing. What the ♥♥♥♥ is that?! CAn I turn of this?

[Bliccer]

this never happened to me sorry

Oh yeah, hate this. Tab; game frame rate feels like it drops as it changes to the page; jerk jerk; zoom; next page; jerk, jerk; zoom; next page; game feels like it freezes up since you can't really move the mouse; finally it unlocks the mouse and you can move it over to the right to click on the yellow circle to select it. That's basically the 'clunky' bit I mentioned above, I just assumed it was something weird going on on my system since it's running pretty low-spec.

That happen only when you discover a new quest : you got a prompt to press the menu button, and if you do (I suggest you just don't) it opens automatically the quest tree and SHOW you what to click in the tree to see this specific quest, but it does it very slowly.
If you just let the prompt disappear and open the menu manually later, everything works normally.

[Bliccer]

Interesting. So basically if you have a new automatic pop up, wanting to show you, better go into the quest tree later? Or is it o nthe map?
