So Pete Smith of
Dragonchasers was ruminating somewhat on the nature of MMO quests in the way they compare to the quests in Skyrim. His basic assertion was that the Skyrim quests somehow feel more heroic, even though the mechanics for the most part play out the same. But one thing you don't have to do in the Skyrim quests is keep a running tally in your head on how many you've killed. And this led me to remembering a very similar thought I had myself the other day with respect to the typical MMO quest mechanics, that I'd been meaning to write up my thoughts on. So thanks Pete!
