Quest and minor task ideas?

[Jubal]

Anyone got good ideas for minor and simple quests for the player to do?

Currently there is for quests:
1x carry a letter
1x kill 12 goblinoids
1x get enough logs to fix a bridge
1x fetch water for a dying goblin
1x go and break into a house in Dorudor, kill a guard, then answer riddles to obtain a sacred Dwarfen orb

And other moneymaking:
1x pit fights
1x cutting corn

Thoughts for more quests and tasks? Preferably they shouldn't involve adding new locations (so no "epic dungeon crawl quest of epic death" ideally )

Find missing child?

[Jubal]

Hmm, that could work, though I'm not sure how easy it'd be to make it an actual challenge. I could just give a random chance of finding it in different locations but that doesn't really amount to much fun. Actually having the child move in a rational way around the map could be more tricky. Good idea though, keep them coming

Solve a murder mystery.

[Jubal]

Murder mystery's not a bad plan, but if it had any real complexity it could be a very big job indeed...

More ideas now needed!

[comrade_general]

What gave me that idea was a similar small quest in KotoR. I think it was just a logical reasoning sort of thing; question a couple people and examine the area and figure out what really happened and accuse the correct person. You could probably code it so that it is different every time.

[Jubal]

That sounds quite possible. Noted!

Any other thoughts?

You can never have too many dungeons to clear. Maybe rescue some idiot who got lost then escort them home?
