Just an addition to CONFIG

CONFIG HONOURQUESTS ON/OFF

On makes Honour quests show up when you HONOURS and for those who hate large amounts of spam for people who do every single quest imaginable *coughKaervascough* you can config it off to cut out all the spam.

Also, maybe a way to reject an honour quest so it doesn't show up in your honours. For instance on one of my characters I didn't want him to have any honours quests but I accidentily finished one. (I actually somehow managed to accidentily complete two honour quests this way). So maybe a way to remove it from your honours, then you can redo it if you really want it.

Don't you know, quests are made to be a defense against people looking up info on you.

I like the way it was done in another IRE game... I forget which one though. Maybe Imperian.

You don't see any quest honours on HONORS (name), just a line that says "He has 2 special honours." Then you use QHONORS (name) to see them.

What do you think about the ability to remove an honours quest? I know it doesn't really make any sense but it's annoying that I have a quest I didn't really want. I just accidentily found the finishing quest item found by the person you give it to and just decided I should try and give it to them when I was a novice. Then I ended up finishing another quest by mistake with no idea what I was doing.

EDIT: I like the idea of QHONOURS a lot Avaer.

Especially with that annoying Seekers of Knowledge clan running loose it can be irritatating looking up people. glare.gif

Yes, it's Imperian that does that, I've been saying I wish we'd do that for awhile. Tired of looking at Kaervas' honors and Raizan's etc.

Utterly disagree. If you do an honours quest that harms a certain organisation or ideal... the proof should stick with you, and you should have to RP your dirty past ever after. This would let people get away with things that their character shouldn't or wouldn't do.

And for the record, I have a couple of honours lines I'd love to get rid of. I had sworn I'd never do the Toronada Tidal Flats one (the honours line is misspelled, for one thing, and it's so wholly goodie-two-shoes and cutesy for Nirrti), and then one day, I ran into Myrtle, he asked me to help him find his grandmother, and I did it to see what would happen... not realising that was the end of the quest. Likewise, Nirrti thinks summoning the gorgogs a very reckless thing, but she helps out Gognigin partway for the gold. I managed to resist for a long time, got bored one day, and finished the quest. Oh, the shame. sad.gif

Still, you do the crime, you do the time.

That's right, I'd decided to get you stuff to bash. I can blame you!

Another one on the pile. I can get the blame for two wars, several smaller quarrels and many personal disasters. I bet Fain is proud! biggrin.gif

I agree that ones that deal with organizations should be kept. Ones for villages or that damn Toronada Tidal Flats need to be destroyed. I ended up accidentily doing that quest because Myrtle just wanted help and I had no idea it was an honour quest. Suffice to say I still have no idea how to do that quest nor do I want to. Then I accidentily completed Acknor once because the club was all ready and just sitting there so I gave it to him and voila another honours line. Don't really know how to do that one nor do I want to. I just wish I could get rid of that and actually earn it or in most cases act like it never happened.

Achaea has honorsb where it only shows the the most relevant information and Imperian hides the excess honors line. Either of these changes would be awesome.
