Tweaks to Quests - Cancelling a quest omits quests of the same category as the cancelled one

Tweaks to Quests - Cancelling a quest omits quests of the same category as the cancelled one

Heya! I was playing some wolvden today and had a rather unfortunate case of rng with the questing snake, so i got this lil idea in my head that i thought i should share :>

Basically, the quest cancelling system currently has a chance to give you a new quest of the same category: for example, you cancel a hunting quest because you don't want to do it, you dont have time to do it, etc, so you get a snake skull to skip but then you get another hunting quest that requires more than the previous one, which defeats the point of cancelling a quest if you just have to do the same quest anyway and it wastes SC, which right now as far as i know is hard to come by as a lot of the ways to make it are rng based, by questing or by other means.

I thought instead, using a snake skull to cancel a quest should omit quests of the same category as the ones cancelled. For example, you're simply not ready to take on a bear-killing quest so you go to cancel it. Unlike before, you will have no chance of receiving a quest to kill more or less bears, though killing quests can pop up with other creatures instead (i see it as different enough). Same with hunting, cancelling a 3 successful hunt quest in this idea would omit all successful hunt quests for the next quest pickup. You still get the penalty of no reward for cancelling a quest out of fairness, but to get a quest that you will have more motivation or time to do seems more fair that just simply getting the same quest again.

This suggestion only really applies to snake skull cancellation, since the main concern of that is getting a quest you just dropped right after cancelling it, sometimes a quest requiring more work than the last.

Thanks for giving this a read <3

Yeah, seems like this would decrease player frustration. Probably a good idea.
