I'd love to see some quests in PE that are designed in the style of a whodoneit mystery. To me, this would mean that you'd have to find and interpret clues, the game wouldn't even tell you something was a clue, and you would have to question witnesses and suspects and use logic to piece tpgether the clues and the reported events. There would be no handholding on the part of journal entries and npcs etc.

 

Who else would love to see something like this?

it'd be cool if you could be asked to investigate your own misdeeds, you could fess up, or decide to frame someone else. or maybe just sabotage the research enough so that it wouldn't be found out.

Really depends on it's execution.

 

As "mystery" quests are generally the worst ones to replay. If it's a sidequest like in KOTOR1 Dantooine one could skip it (since it's really boring and annoying to replay). Onderon KOTOR2? No suck luck... and it really is an annoying thing to do every time.

 

Although I suppose these would be larger and require more detective work, right?

I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

Oh he stuck in the tower? I need him, let's assume he was innocent and prove it! yes, lets search through trash piles and find droid parts!

 

I actually really enjoyed the quest, but indeed, replay value at 0.

I quite liked the Whodunit quest in Oblivion - they managed to create the closed circle feeling and atmosphere really well. And of course, there was the fact that it was a dark brotherhood (assassins) quest....

Getting widget x and bringing it to person y is so replayable am I right?

 

Yes.

Yes.

If it means you go somewhere and do something, it's a lot better than go of a list of conversation options from A to B to A to C to D to A to B to E to B... quest solved (as is the way of KOTOR1 and KOTOR2).

I am in! Would love to see a quest or even multiple quests like this. Although in the spirit of PE, I hope the clues would be more in dialogue, with different NPCs telling you quite a bit of background info, which contains important clues hidden within, but only if you carefully parse and analyze the text. Kinda like Agatha Christie's stuff.
