Obtuse quest descriptions Why?

Beggars Nest: Missing Brother wants me to return a ring to Jermaine but fails to mention where Jermaine is found. What is the POINT of a journal if it DOES NOT save important info like where to find this quest giver.

I ask and I answer. SO that you have to google it. Why? Idk no way I can find it W/O google. So again I ask What the hell is the point of the journal? This is EE? The quests arent even sorted by zone. Just absolute amateur hour.

Did you do a quest called "Find Jermaine"? He is the one who tells you about the house with the Snake cult.

He is still at his house

He is in the second barricaded house on the West side of the Beggars Nest.

This game has an option to add your own custom notes to the minimap with map pins.

When you find an NPC that gives you a quest from inside a sub zone like inside a house, open your minimap. Go outside the house. On the minimap, click "create map pin", drop it on the house, name it "quest giver - quest name".

This game comes from a time when players were expected to explore the majority of the map to find all the quests/secrets and sometimes even make their own notes in a journal.

This is an older game, back when devs knew gamers could think and figure things out for themselves. You want a cake walk go play BG3 or something.
