And if when written in C or C++ (might be better languages initially, not too sure what all is out there that's cross-platform compat.), then be optimized in ASM.
Techincally, having each seperate quest in a text for is great, since it only has to access a small file for each quest, and then each text file identified with a mob is great as well.

Well, there was was babbling on in random thought, and I probably still came off like a fool, but if you have any comments to ease my curiosity, please feel free.

EDIT:
Side thought, what about writing it in a scripting language?

I have no idea what you're going on about. When you read your own post, what kind of responses do you think you might get from it?
