I seriously wish they hadn't removed Abandon Quest

[The Debauchery]

Just to have the ability to redact everything that happened in a hunt was great. "Return from Quest" has its uses, but when I accidentally waste items and the whole thing starts going to hell, it is so much better to be able to just reset everything.
Heck, just now I accidentally killed a monster in a mult-hunt. I had the SOS up, but it wasn't the other hunters (though they tend to all be murder-hobos). This one was entirely my fault. I just left in shame, but the mark is still there on the card.

In any case... I don't expect most folks to get my aversion to killing the monsters, but I'm sure we can agree that it was better to have the option to redact bad hunts before they're done....

I think you can by speaking to alma ? I've never had to but if you speak with her, you can cancel quest, at least ? not sure if it returns your items

Resetting back to the Pre-Quest state is kinda the point of "Abandon Quest" and what makes it different from "Return from Quest".
For instance, "Return from Quest" is for stuff like tail-hunting. Chase a monster, cut its tail off, carve the tail, return with the carve.
"Abandon Quest" is for when the whole thing is a complete write-off and you wish it had never happened. Except they removed it. Funny how they're usually all about making things simpler except they've removed this old-school quality of life feature that was actually welcome.
