Quests in Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord can provide a range of rewards, including renown, morale, character trait points, denars, and increases to relations with NPCs. Bannerlord features a much greater variety of quests compared to previous titles and quests can come from many different kinds of notables. In addition, the outcomes of quests in Bannerlord can go multiple ways and it is more complex than merely succeeding or failing. The outcome of a particular quest could improve the growth of a village or make the difference between war and peace between two kingdoms. Note that none of the main narrative quests will be applicable if you are playing the Sandbox game mode.
A feature unique to Bannerlord is that most non-narrative quests can instead be assigned to one of your companions. The practicality of using a companion in your stead can vary wildly; If the player can accomplish the task with very little risk, it might not make sense to even consider using a companion. On the other hand, quests like Inn and Out can be handled much more conveniently and reliably with a companion with a high level in the appropriate skill. Sometimes the NPC skill level determines how long the task will take, other times it will determine the chance of success. Additionally, some quests can utilize one of several NPC skills, whichever one is highest (i.e. One Hand or Two Hand or Polearm). Finally, assigning a companion to a quest also requires some number of troops to accompany them. If it is a combat quest, there is some risk that one or more of these troops will die in the process. There is also a price per troop, dependent on their tier, so assigning your best troops to a task may actually be unprofitable and many quest types do not depend on the quality of those troops for success.
Changes to Personality scores can be found in: Personality Traits.
Most quests require player character to have at least -10 relation with the quest giver and not be at war with quest giver's faction to take the quest. Bonus relation for completing the quest is usually +5 (-5 for failing it).

Towns[]
The Town Center contains artisans and merchants trying to increase their wealth and protect their interests. Gang Leader notables also lurk here, competing with each other for territory and protection rackets. The Keep can host nobles, but also contains the Dungeon where lords or ladies may be held hostage. Access to the Keep is dependent on the player clan's renown and their criminal rating, but they can always bribe their way in if necessary.
