I would rather have this as an option inside HB's core itself with the ability to toggle it on/off as it's pretty much a "must" when dealing with quests.
Keep in mind that the questing is not yet in it's final state
That is correct.
But having it as a feature inside the core is better than having it in a separate plugin that would need to get updated and have an active developer
Besides...the less plugins you use the more simple it gets =D
