Hmmm, well, all I can say is that I played the single player game only once
and have not heard about any other quests than the ones I encountered. In
other words, I don't think that there are any other quests. I found all that
have been mentioned so far, and I was able to complete all of them. Everytime
I came up from the dungeon, I talked to every person in town. Sometimes they
did not tell me anything usefull, sometimes I got a quest. Even though I
played the single player game only once, I did end up starting the game over a
couple of times until I chose a name for my character that I liked. Everytime
I restarted, I got the quest for the Butcher. You get it from the half dead
man in front of the church. Every game that I have been in - in multiplayer -
has always had the dead man in front of the church. The inkeeper always says
the same thing to me in each game. If you did not get the Butcher quest, then
it is because you did not talk to anyone. As you have said yourself, the
Butcher is always there, therefore, the quest is always there. Same with the
Skeleton King. If you don't talk to anyone - like the inkeeper - you will
never know about that quest. However, he will be down there waiting for you.
These two quests are always in the single player game, and always in the
multiplayer game.
There are, however, some quests that are specific to the single player game.
Quests like the Demon brain, and the big Mushroom. I have yet to see those in
the multiplayer game, but, I really don't care if they are there. If I want
to play the single player game, then I want something special in the single
player game.
Anyway, my point in writing all of this is to say that I have been watching
these newsgroups pretty often, and I have not seen anyone write about a quest
that I have not been on myself. If you did not have a particular quest, then
you just did not explore enough, or ask enough questions.
