What do prematurely awarded Skill Points mean for Quests?
If you are a very meticulous player, you may quite often have hunted down animals, monsters or other baddies, and suddenly you read: # skill points awarded What does this mean? There are many side quests that tell the player he needs to wipe out this or that mob. But if you kill that mob before the side quest was actually activated, by talking to the appropriate quest giver, you will prematurely receive skill points as a bonus. So the message hints at a side quest you still need to find the quest giver for. Usually after you have found the quest giver, the quest is immediately solved, or you simply have to visit the indicated location on the map. Since the mob is already gone, your presence alone will solve the quest. Do not forget to return to the quest giver, though, for the reward. Note: There is also an achievement system in place that rewards the player for killing a certain number of monsters. See the monster count number on the Stats (g-key by default) screen.
