Skyrim Will Have A LOT Of Quests - Todd Howard On The New Quest System

Todd Howard clarified to Wired that those playing Skyrim could, theoretically play the game almost infinitely. This is due to the game's new Radiant Quest System. Yes folks, randomly generated quests are in Skyrim. I wonder if these quests will be interesting(don't get confused with the main quest which I'm sure isn't randomly generated). Here's what the article says...

The game’s Radiant quest system randomly generates new tasks based on your progress in the game. An innkeeper might ask you to hunt for bandits in a place you haven’t found yet, or an aspiring alchemist could request that you collect 10 undiscovered flowers for his work. Howard claims that the options are endless. 

In addition to these minor tasks, Howard says you’ll be able to do extra work for each of the game’s factions, like the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild. Once you complete the scripted quest lines for each group, you can go to their respective hubs and pick up randomly generated missions to steal gems or assassinate shopkeepers across Skyrim’s massive world.

Sounds awesome! Yes it's cool the game creates quests that take you to new location but please pray and tell that it wont be the same 5 odd quests repeated to oblivion(pun intended).
