Categorization[edit]

This quest has to be done to advance the story quest "In the name of the king." Should it then be classified as a story quest? I'm thinking of how, for example, the quests in Grahtwood that need to be done to allow completion of Fit to Rule are categorized. — Unsigned comment by Anghara (talkcontribs) at 03:14 on 20 December 2015

It's a bit of an inconsistent faff. Fit to Rule is solely an umbrella (XP reward Very Low), and the quests within are part of Cadwell's Almanac, and yet there are other quests that are part of Cadwell's Almanac that do not fit into the Alliance Storyline. In the Name of the King has more substance to it than just as an umbrella (its XP reward is Standard). But there is no technical difference between a Story quest and a Side quest in-game, so we have to define those ourselves. Personally, for the ease of defining the "Wrothgar Storyline" as a closed entity, and primarily in comparison with The Hidden Harvest (which you have to do part of, but not all of, in order to complete For King and Glory), I would prefer to have these as prerequisite side quests rather than tied-in story quests. --Enodoc (talk) 19:49, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
OK! Would it be inappropriate to include them as "concurrent" quests in the header for "In the Name of the King"? Thanks for all your help! --Anghara (talk) 22:07, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
Not at all inappropriate; in fact, that would be the best thing to do (as well as including ItNotK as Concurrent in the headers of these others). --Enodoc (talk) 23:04, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
