Everything about diablo single player quests are entirely random. You
will get different quests from the 30 or so quests in the 'quest pool' 
everytime you play. This randomness is generated from your system clock.
On an interesting note, if you set your clock past the year 2000, you
will get the same random 'seed' everytime. And the dungeons and such
will always be the same. Or if your system clock is tweeked i spose youd
see the same quests over and over. No quests in single player are there
'everytime' except diablo and laz.
Multiplayer quests are always the same, kinda disappointing.
