I do know that not all the quests are in all single player games.  In
my first game, I did not receive the quest for the butcher, but I did
in the second one.  I seemed to find about one quest per two levels.
Some of the quests are probably in all games (notably the Lazarus
quest). 

I was wondering if anyone had gotten a quest from anyone other than
Ogden--innkeeper (the sign), Pepin--Healer (the poisoned water +
others), Griswold--blacksmith (magic rock etc), Cain--indentifier
(Lazarus quest), Adra(sp?)--witch (Demon's brain--but I haven't seen
this one).  Is it necessary to visit the barmaid and drunk every time
you are in town?  Also, does Wirt give you any quests?
