Tracking Progress

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 1:50 pm

Is there a way to see what we have completed and what's left in the game?
I'm nearing a point where I finished every quests I "stumbled upon" while walking around and talking to every NPC I saw. I know there are probably still tons of quests I ain't started yet. The journal is helpful but not that much. Miscellaneous completed quests aren't there and some quest (like the thief guild) are repeatable. I could look at some wiki guide "All Quests" page and just strike those I have completed in my journal, but it's not perfect. It also don't track multiple other things. I know all quests have and ID and the engine know which one are completed or in which stage the player is, so I think it would be very easy to create a mod for that.
I would like to know:
  • List of "real" quests not started
  • List of "miscellaneous" quests not started
  • List of places I'm a thane
  • List of dragon shouts found or not
  • List of locations not discovered
  • List of ... other things I don't think about that can be done/collected, like the Daedric artifacts, the Dragon Priests Masks, anything else?
I'm really sad that the game itself don't allow you to have a "percentage completed" tracking or something like that. Achievements can help, but again it's not perfect. I'm talking about everything except repeatable quests (Kill bandit leader, Kill dragon, Talk to companion leaders for work, Thieve Guild repeatable missions, etc).
I specially want to know if there's a way to list the completed Misc objectives (quest IDs in console or something) or did they just disappeared with no traces?

You can press start and look at the stats. It may not be exactly what your looking for but it does have some stuff.

What? No, I finished the game, I want to know what's left in case I missed out cool parts before stopping playing. Make sense no? Every open-world games I played in 15years always had a way to track progress at game end to ensure completion, this one don't. I'm not playing a WoW-like spreasheet game here, I just want to location of quests triggers.

Quests are marked with ID like for exemple FreeformSkyHavenTempleD . Where can I find a list of all these QuestID and where can I find the list of quest ID I completed? Afterward I will look at thoses left in the Wiki and how to start them. Can't find a reason why someone would NOT want to do that.

General Stats screen tells me "Quest Completed: 106, Misc Objectives Completed: 304" and that's about it. You understand it's hard to track after more than 400 events.

I might end up having to use the "saq" (Start All Quest) console command, but that's really not what I want, I want to start them the real way.

I'd hate to have such a list in my game, but to each their own.

Nothing's perfect. Right now the best solution available is to go to UESP and see which quests you haven't done yet.

Can see why when you start the game, but let's take as exemple Batman Arkham City, after the main quest, if there wouldn't had any progress tracking I would just have stopped playing without realizing there was still over 5-6 criminals quests I haven't done. Skyrim is much more complex so it's even more relevant.

That's what I was first thinking, but since the journal don't list Misc objectives and they all look similair my memory is not good enough to remember which one I did and which one not. I just found the "GetQuestCompleted" function under the Creation Kit, that's pretty much what I wanted. Now I just need a list of all Quest ID and I'll create a script that'll do that for me.
