Tired of the quest grind

spengos

Are there any MMOs out there with semi interesting quests? Most games I try I could play blind folded. I quite enjoyed SWTOR for a little while as the voiced quest dialogues help to build a story around the quests at least, even though most of them were the same fed-ex, kill X of Y, type quests. Also enjoyed the first 20 levels of Age of Conan.

Is there anything that can hold my attention for longer than an hour?

I played WoW for a good while and have many alts, so I think it's saturated my enjoyment of the traditional quest grind.

I've been searching for much of the same myself. All I can say is.. look to the future. For the present, if you absolutely need something, EVE or Minecraft can fulfill that void. Just do a lot of multiplayer Minecraft and your good to go. Some future games that you just might find very interesting..

(1) Shroud of The Avatar

(2) Centration

(3) World of Darkness

 

Hope that helps! I feel your pain.

Thanks. Yeah hopefully a good game comes along soon.

I tried Eve about 2 years ago but struggled to get into it.

Alot of people that like the SWTOR type of questing recommend TSW....I thought the game was crap but Im not a huge cutscene/voice acting fan in MMOs, and on top of that you have to pay for it to try it.

Ok how about Vanguard then? There are quests, but there are other things as well.

I simply can not pass without recommending this lovely game.

Oh, I love Vanguard. And funny enough I really don't do most of the quests, just roam around exploring and seeing what trouble I can get into.

Sword of the New World/ Grando Espada is a pretty fun game that doesn't really put much into quest grinding. It's pretty simple to level without quest, just run through dungeons until you get to an high enough level to go through better dungeons.  They also allow this lazy way to level up your characters by putting them in, "Wait Mode", which allows your guys to attack any monster near and if you got a good healer in your group, you can go watch a movie, go to sleep, and wake up only to find your characters still fighting and possibly gained like 12+ levels during the whole process.  But don't get me wrong, the quest are amazing, but just going from dungeon to dungeon, fighting random boss monsters, and getting great items is just the better pro of the game.
