I'm delighted to be able to announce that the latest version of RuneSage is now available. This update brings a complete overhaul of the quest mechanics, with additional help throughout (both in-game from NPCs and summaries in menu options) of what quests there are still to do, hints on where to go / what to do and more generally pointers on how to progress if stuck. This vastly improves the flow of the game and as a result increases the immersion as you get drawn into the game world.

- Added new menu option to view current quests.
- Added more in-game help on what quests there are still to be completed.
