IMO, I think that automatic quests would be boring and add little to the game. Doing this would make it more similar to WoW, and I dont like WoW.
they are already implementing automatic quests to some degree if i heard right i just dont know whats the rate at which they are created
I think bethesda's idea is best.
their system is probably going to work just fine i just wonder how is the text for the quests created (is it choosen from a pre-made set of sentences?) and i think if Bethesda liked the idea they could probably make it work right.
