Agreed it would be a lot of work, but I was thinking similiar to HOMM series where you can have different scenarios. There was also a KB game on the PS2 I used to play where it was a series of islands and I can't remember if those changed layout or just placement.
It would be workable if, for example you had 80 quests, of which maybe 40 would be in every game. It would definitely take a more modular design and clear likages between quests. One time 'fetch' or 'kill' quests would be easy to add/remove without impact on main quest (which would obviously be the same). It would be nice to add the replayability of the game - no necssary - but nice.
I guess even in HOMM you had set maps, though there were a lot more campaigns - so maybe that's more what I'm looking for. The base map in the demo is very nicley detailed - hard to do with a generator. I guess the mod communitiy may help with adding other maps/content over time.
Thanks!
