I like ones that go in unexpected ways, require more than just killing skills, and give very good rewards.

I really like it when a game tells a story without using words (though I prefer voiced games overall). There are several quests that span over a great distance, such as the Black Vials quest, that exclusively use lore to tell a story. These kind of quests are interesting to me, far more than the usual "fetch me this".

However, if there's anything I'd change about the quest system in general, it would be leaving the objective of a lore quest (a quest you get by picking up a codex) up for grabs, so that way, you have to read and interpret the codex. If you get a quest from a guy who explains the details of the mission, sure, your objective should be bright as day. But if you pick up a scrap of paper, you should read the paper to know what it means.

But enough about that. What kind of quests appeal to you, BSN?

I love any kind of quests, as long as I feel I have enough variety considering a playthrough on the overall. So having just fetching quests or just lore quests would be boring in the long run.

I agree that the trigger for Codex quests should be more sophisticated. I spent quite an amount of time in various RPGs doing "Codex" quests without a single idea of what I was doing and why, I just grabbed XP and didn't really care. In a nutshell, it would be great if those quests were more like adventure game quests, they would require for you to think a bit more, to find clues or maybe to solve a narrative puzzle. 

I tend to skip Codex in the course of my real-time PT, and then I go back to it when I have a bit more time. I mainly feel that not reading it is not that damaging to my experience. If I felt it was necessary, I might do that more. For instance, you could have quests where you'd have to make a decision, and only reading Codex would help you to make the "correct" decision. I know there are a few instances of those in DA, but they're mostly simple side quests and decisions, like "touch stuff and free foe" or "leave stuff and gain XP".

Character quests tend to appeal to me the most.

indeed

and i also like quests that give a really special reward (like warden's keep - yes, that was DLC, but still!) - not just some trinket or a little money (not enough to buy even a half decent piece of equipment)

I dig it when you get what seems like a routine quest and it turns into something much different. I loved the "Shepherding Wolves" quest in DA2 for that reason. It started out as a boring old escort quest and then turned into one of the best moments in the game. Deeply shocking, deeply moving, more of that please!

Yep!

And, please, for the Maker's Sake, no babysitting quests - it's ok if the NPC has the sense to run and hide which BW is usually good at, but I hate having to keep someone alive besides PC and Co. I'm not exactly sure why but it makes me want to tear my hair out.

One thing I liked about 'Shepherding Wolves' was that Ketojan could actually back Hawke up - in spectacular fashion, too!

I like quests where you have to do some detective work...investigations with multiple endings where you aren't really sure what's the 'right' conclusion...

[Lokiwithrope]

Bump.

character quests, those are fun for me

I liked the little fetch quests, where you'd find a random junk in DAII and turn it in to the person, sometimes I wanted more info about that

Oh, Also I loved things like the attack on redcliff, where you could protect (or kill if you say, wanted someone else to take over an inn) npcs in a big battle.
