[Feature Request]: optionally hidden tasks or rewards #177

Open SubordinalBlue opened 9 months ago

Hidden tasks would be fun, used sparingly, for mystery “solve this riddle” type quests.

Hidden rewards would similarly be fun. For one example, I’ve wanted to use a command reward but have exactly what it is be a surprise.

This can be done already by just overriding the display information of the quest

Not sure I follow... that will hide the quest. I'd like to, sometimes, have the player see there is an award, as normal, but not see what it is.

(or even a task, but that would probably get more sparing use, true).

Like, as if the text and icon in this screen shot were blacked out/blurred/whatever:

Another way to word it: sometimes I wish I could withhold the task or reward info up until the last moment, when they do the task or claim the reward. The player would only know that there is a task or reward; the description would still be available, and a good place to put clues for a mystery task, or setup the payoff, narratively speaking, when a mystery reward is revealed by claiming it.
