Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Failed Quests

I'm sort of a 'perfectionist' RPG gamer - meaning that I don't like to fail quests. Here are some quests that I've failed. Please tell me what I've missed out on by failing them. Also, please share any thoughts or suggestions you might have.

- Is it okay that I failed the 'Fireworks' quest? I chose not to destroy the cart because I felt guilty doing it. Also, the quest giver was a real jerk and I didn't see the benefit in helping him ruin a good man's life.

- Is it okay that I failed the 'Meet the Wizard Zandalor at the Dwarven Bread Inn' quest? It seems I can't possibly complete this quest. I may have waited too long (which makes me highly discouraged). Go here for more information on this particular quest (and my current pressing issues with the game).

- Is it okay that I failed the quest where I'm asked to recover Balin's Amulet in the poor quarters? I chose not to help him, and instead ended up killing him and completing the quest given by the NPC that stole Balin's Amulet in the first place. (Is it possible to complete both quests, or must I choose between one or the other?)


Those are the only three failed quests I can recall off the top of my head. I'll surely return with more. I'm mainly concerned that I might eventually (if I haven't already) end up failing an essential quest (one required to progress further in the game) required to continue the unfolding of the main plot.

The "Meet Zandalor In The Dwarven Bread Inn Tavern" quest is an auto fail I think. No matter how quickly you get there he will be at Stormfist Castle. So I wouldn't worry about that quest. And for the 'Fireworks' I chose not to do that quest for the same reasons that you listed. And everything has went fine since then. And for the Balin's necklace quest, I got that one too early, I wanted to kill Balin for the other quest given by the thief. But he ended up demolishing me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />. And I am pretty sure you have to choose between one or the other. I am going to kill Balin when I am a little bit stronger just because he is a jerk.

You could also have refused to accept the quest to burn down the cart, and turned the merchant in after someone else did so.

You can help either Balin or the guy that stole the necklace; there is no way to complete both quests. Depending on what you say to the thief, you can avoid getting the quest to help him, but that would mean helping the thug/pimp Balin.
