I was able to convince my wife try Skyrim and she likes the game a lot.
But she has pretty hard time understanding english so she asked me to ask around for a mod that would make the available quests in the world more visible.
One idea I had was that possibly make the quest dialogues appear in different color than other conversations but I'm not sure if quest dialogues are any different to normal conversations so I don't know if it's even possible.
She was originally hoping for some MMO-type of quest markers to NPC's but I'm quite sure that isn't possible.
I don't have the time to start making mods of any kind at the moment, I barely have the time to play the game at all.
Cheers in advance.
