Discarding looted/ picked up quests from radial

It's a long requested feature. I think the issue is how it can be implemented. A picked up quest exists in every crew member's radial not just your inventory, and doesn't have a physical presence in the world, so discarding it becomes tricky.

Maybe they could occupy a section in the quests inventory and be voted to disgard from there.

Or, alternatively, when you are holding one up there could be a option to vote to discard.

Tell your crew to stop picking them up 😁.

I am against a pick-and-choose for the random quests; if a crew doesn't want their goals mixed with random stuff: be more careful with emptying barrels and picking things up.
If crews want only the nice ones (e.g. a chest with wood), they gotta have to play with that these can complicate other quests (i.e. skellies on an island you want to do the main quest(s).

A "remove all quests" option would be fine; gotta be careful though: you vote for that by accident, you reach the last chapter of Athena and a crewmate disconnects vhoum goes all quests...

@galactic-geek said in Discarding looted/ picked up quests from radial:

They have already convoluted and overcomplicated the radials so much, I see no reason why we can't just separate the voyage types - just have (on Xbox) X go to the next page, B to go to the previous page, and have A and Y switch between the primary voyages, bonus voyages, and the TT books with each set on their own radial.

Maybe they could use this when the quest radial is dedicated to a secific input like it used to be?

Perhaps put the random ones from barrels and bottles together with the Notes ?

Messages in a bottle have an expiry date, like merchant quests, also voyage maps get prioritised over bottle quests and other junk

I'd like that feature aswell and I don't think it would be that hard to implement.

When you have the quest selected and hold the appropriate button to see it fullscreen, just add a functionkey to abandon it. If you play solo, you can make a double check like "are you sure" and with crews just give the other members a popup message which they have to respond to with a specific button and then vote for "abandon", if they care. When the majority (2of3 / 3of4) is reached, the quest gets dropped… if not it's stays where it is.

Doesn't sound that hard or complicated to me or am I missing something?

Maybe dropping a quest while actually doing it, needs to be taken care of... So it doesn't invoke some bugs or abuse. But else I think that it could be done in that fashion and be a nice QoL enhancement.
