I’m a bit annoyed right now.

Partly because there aren’t enough monsters to go round, but mainly because of the way quests and missions are recorded.

I decided not to run for miles when I started the game again, so I talked to some more people in Bastok. I got a quest and a mission.

The quest was immediately annoying, because it wasn’t recorded decently in my quest log. It gave the location of the quest giver, but not the name or location of the person I was meant to talk to next. Which, as I forgot within seconds of walking away from the person who I got the quest from, was very annoying.

The mission was better, telling me in the information who I should talk to and where they were. So I found them – more or less by accident – and then got told to take the report they gave me to the president’s office. The only problem being that, according to the map, there isn’t a president’s office in Bastok.

Oh, and going back to the woman who gave me my quest gave me the name of the person I had to talk to and a rough location – the mines. Now, hopefully, there’s only one mine. If there are more, I’m fucked. The only niggle is that I talked to everyone I came across in the mine… and nobody was the person says I should talk to.

Not wishing to be entirely negative, I did manage to get up to level two, which was nice.

I’ve had to stop playing for now, annoyingly, because I don’t like leaving things like this hanging. I’m really shocked by the lack of information in the quest log, though. Unless I’m missing a way to expand it.

There doesn’t seem to be a mini map, either, while I’m complaining.
