Can we please get a larger quest journal so I can take quests from these stalking quest givers and have them stop bothering me in town? I'm already having to delete quests I want to do in the future just to make space for quests I want to do now.
The ability to accept more quests would be helpful. I usually just try to do quests with stalker-y quest givers as quickly as I can.
Although with Stuga, I just try to stay out of Vulkhel Guard, Daggerfall and Davon's Watch with my non plus accounts for the free trial period. There's plenty of things to do in other places during the trial.
Agree completely. Would love both a larger quest log (say double current size) and the ability to sort quests into 'active' and 'someday maybe'. The latter category is for quests that shut Stuga up, so I don't forget to do new prologues on chars who aren't yet ready, so I can grab quests when I see them but don't have to worry about doing them until I get around to that area. Worst of all are the multizone stalkers - like Alessio Guillon who stalks most inns with a tempting quest target over his head until you finally take the Morrowind prologue quest even if you don't want to yet do it.

Eh, the ones who just stand around with arrows over there heads don't bother me - they can stand around forever. I really REALLY hate the mouthy ones who run after you.
I hate the For Glory quest. It's everywhere and I mistake it for a quest I really want to do. Plus, there is no way to just dismiss it. You either have to carry it around in your list forever, or do it, and I'm not interested in PvP.
They need to give an option to say no. They could then say "If you later decide you'd like to join the battle, visit a battlemaster in any city." Then talking to him would give the option to pick up the quest again, but without the arrow over his head.
Bear in mind that the more quests there are in your journal, the more it is believed to affect performance e.g. when loading in data on changing zones.
I'd love a larger quest journal, but I can imagine it'd impact performance if its capacity were increased.
The game really just needs some QoL updates to cut down on clutter and noise, in scalable fashion. Some really simple solutions exist that could be easy wins for QoL.
1. Plant all NPCs at a fixed location. Stuga, Bera Moorsmith, Corporal Bredrek, Brondold, and probably many many more NPCs need to stand in one spot.
2. Equip quest giving dialogues equip a "not now" option.
3. Create a zone quest pane similar to how the Chapters pane works, where you can accept quests and track story progress.
4. Enable a quiet mode for repeating NPC chatter. The wood elf known as Finendrin, dragons in your homeland, all of it needs some control because it gets annoying to players after a while. Sure we could mute the game, but hearing the music or the quests you're on uninterrupted is an entirely valid use case.
@ZOS_GinaBruno@ZOS_JessicaFolsom This is a frequent request. Can you confirm if the development team is aware of it and where it may fall on the roadmap?
I Like the idea of "active" and "someday maybe" sorting. Makes it easier to focus on what you want/need to do right now. But yeah definitely feels cramped in the quest journal, especially when so many crafting/guild quests take up space. I guess if it has an impact on performance that would justify capping itso low but but I'm not sure how that works. Couldn't it at least be a bit bigger?
I just want to add that I feel depressed every time I see Giblets slouching around at my feet. Almost makes me want to do his questline just to put him out of his misery. Maybe that's the point?
