Yes, I have to agree that I have been a bit disappointed by the limited options you have for most of the quests I've done so far. Seems like you either do it one particular way, or you don't do it at all. The quests themselves are well done in that they are interesting and not just the typical 'go there, kill/collect that', but there aren't multiple ways of solving them.
I think possibly also the journal/map-arrow system is partly to blame for this. Because of the active quest thing where you get the direction arrow for where to go next, you kind of don't have the opportunity to puzzle out what to do next and what options you have. There is one thing to do and the arrow is pointing to it, dammit!
