After receiving a Quest a (coloured) message should be shown in the textfield e.g.
"New Quest »Obsidian Knife« received"
This could be helpful, beause the name of a quest is not always obvious to the player. (It should be somehow coloured, so it sticks out.) If one forgets about it's details, one has to click through all quests in travel log and read the quest to find out about the NPC or included items. Not all quest names are self explaining like the example above. That the talk to Alrik will lead to the Obsidian Knife is not foreseeable to the player.
thank you for considering
