In Heroes, the type of quest is not as important as the way it is completed. All campaigns in Shades of Darkness are built on this principle. Sometimes you have to fight necromancers, sometimes you have to complete quests, and sometimes you just have to run away from enemies, trying not to get caught. And in general, "defeat all enemies" is the most common type of quest, and that's all a strategy game needs. For quests like "join a group, solve a crime, and find the culprit," you should look to Neverwinter Nights, Gothic, or any other RPG. But you should definitely read the messages (I agree - it's really interesting). And regarding new games: the first version of Pirates 3 is unplayable, Gothic 3 is unplayable, and NWN2 is unplayable. I'm already afraid to wait
