Yes. Especially MPD. I think I would keep replaying it after I did every Quest which affected it in some way, to see how the dialogue changed..

Would you reread your favorite book over and over? Of course! Think about how many people do that to prepare for the release of the next book in a series.

As for how, they either should add some sort of in-game zen garden reflecting pool or an archive of your exploits where you can go to "reflect on" an adventure that you once had.

Or maybe it can involve the Moon Clan and we're revisiting our memories via our dreams? I admit, it's a cool story reason but it'll make it a gated feature which isn't cool. Maybe they could add a Moon Clan NPC to somewhere like Lumbridge to make it work?

Just to add, there are some quest fights (like in TWW) that were so fun to do. I'd love to replay it for that and re-experience the moment. This would add another good reason to develop high-quality quests: replay value.

Of course, they'd have to have some limitations. Like, yeah you can replay a quest, but you can't permanently alter the outcome of a choice. Maybe give us the option to explore these other choices but without them affecting our story's progression?

To refresh your memory concerning the elf-series, there is some good stuff out there, that helps a lot. Zero Vector (just search for his name plus RS) uploaded a short summary of the Elf-Story until Within in the Light and a Let's Play about Within the Light. What he does comes without special music etc. just him commenting, which is more than interesting.

Or you can read Robo Hobo's 15 page lore refresher :P

Now, even though I am against redoing quests, I do think there should be a lore refresher, since Gwir is nice and all, and so are wikia transcripts, but they don't cut it. I suggested some months ago the idea of "Abridged Quests" where Jagex can update old content and at the same time create a sort of contained quest (like the Fremmy sagas) going through all the highlights and important details of the quest. The idea was mostly for series though, not standalones. I'm too Unaligned to have a forum signature.

But think about it Ere*, the mods would have a way bigger reason to develop resource-intensive quests like RoP if they were replayable since they could just quote "replay value".

This would in turn give lorehounds like us access to more high quality quests since they'll have a better chance of being approved. It's win-win-win.

I'm not arguing that it's beneficial. I agree it's a win-win situation. I'm arguing that most quests in their current form are not suitable to be replayed. If Jagex was able to do that, then by all means they should, and they probably would have made those quests re-playable by now.

But the fact that they are only making snippets of quests available (like Dominions Tower, repeatable events, repeatable cutscenes etc..) shows that they don't want to make entire quests repeatable. Well, that's how I interpret it at least. I'm too Unaligned to have a forum signature.

I see what you're saying, but I think that it's evident by now that Jagex underestimates the devotion of its players to the game's lore.

From what i've heard, they were actually surprised by how many people voted "yes" to regularly reading lore books. Mod Jack even said in the Scrying Pool CC that the poll will likely result in more attention put into producing lore books.

That just goes to show that the folks at Jagex don't necessarily know their players as well as we'd assume, but they also seem willing to listen. We just need to make ourselves heard.

Yes. I have done most quests at least twice. Only exceptions are A Clockwork Syringe and Within the Light. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?
