Summary0013858: Re-naming "Quests" to something else for clarity.
DescriptionI think calling them "Quests" sort of strongly implies that doing them and succeeding at them is the desired result, even though that isn't always the case.

Perhaps they should be re-named to "Important Events", "Distress Calls", or something like that so they seem more like opportunities rather than something the game wants you to do.

I thought about this sort of thing, but they really involve all sorts of things. Some are opportunities, some are things that happen if you don't do something, some are good, some are bad, etc. The one thing they all have in common is that they give you a limited-time chance to ebark on a personal mission to do something. Quests is the least-bad option that I can think of, and it's also intuitively familiar to players in terms of "this is something I can go do."

And frankly I _do_ want players to consider all quests that come by. But just like in other games, you might go "ugh, I'm not doing that!"
