Vanguard Hands-On Preview

In general, the quests revolve around the standard fare of killing monsters, delivering packages, collecting items, and so on. Most of them are fairly straightforward, and while you shouldn't have too much trouble understanding what's required, it's sometimes a little unclear as to the exact location of your objectives. Certain other quests require a slightly different approach to the standard kill or collect method, and Vanguard's diplomacy module is a prime example of this. The overall aim of diplomacy is to give players a new path to follow, something that runs parallel to questing and plays out a little like trading-card games such as Magic: The Gathering.
