The element of quests in games is nothing new, especially in RPGs. Quests in most games fall into one of four categories:

1. Kill quests
2. Gather quests
3. Delivery quests
4. Escort quests

Quests in games can also be chained together to create a larger quest. This is often done to shape the main story in an RPG, where the player is tasked with completing quests in multiple categories and areas to develop the story arc. Simple quests are often also used as tutorials to get players familiar with the game's controls, basic story or other elements the developers feel should be explained.Wikipedia: Quest (Gaming)
