I'm unsure if anyone will find some quests and questlines amusing, but it seems to me that there is more than one April fool quest.
What were devs thinking?
1. The whole Henry's birthday questline
You are supposed to get wool (3), leather (2) and union flag (1). Reward? Unbelievably "big", you get 100$, 180XP and Gray bowler hat (buying price 420$).
While wool and leather are not so hard to get, union flag is in most cases tougher to find than the fishing rod. And with fishing rod the reward is more juicy (500$ and 500XP). The only thing that doesn't make this questline utterly rediculous is that you can get it on level 11.
2. Tomorrow's headline questline
After a duel and wasting total of 8 hours on printing and selling newspapers, you receive another "awsome" rewards: 25% and 125XP! For god's sake... The same thing you can get for only 2 hours on some high XP jobs, for example settlers' track protection which you can get pretty early if concentrated on charisma. This one is definite crap.
3. Gemstones questline
Is this the worst one? I don't think so, but almost. You need to provide blue and green indian necklace, 2 gemstones and a shovel plus do a duel. While indian necklaces are pretty cheap to buy or can be received during jobdoing, 2 gemstones are not so easy to find. And what do you get as a reward? 110 XP and Plain iron cross which is so "great" that most ppl will sell it and receive 365$ which can hardly cover days of XP and money wasted on gemstone search.
4. Wild horses questline
I'm under impression this is the worst questline in the whole game. First, you get it probably a month after you've bought a mustang on level 30. What you need to do is to provide warm meal (2), wood (24 pieces, wtf?!), lasso (5) and win a duel. The generous reward is 470$, 140XP and - a mustang! Why am I feeling as an idiot doing this questline?
5. Three rivers goldmining quest
Ok, I admit, you get a nice XP and money from Three rivers questline. But what bothers me is a part where you're supposed to bring back 15 pieces of Fool's gold! How many hours you need to collect this? Hours? That would be days actually. At the same time you get more XP and more money by doing only some jobs.
6. Ghost Town make the man and looking for traces quests
In short, you're supposed to invest pretty much money and time (12 hours) to solve these two branchending quests just to be rewarded with 50XP and 75$. Either devs made a mistake with those rewards or this questline is unfinished.
I believe that these quests(lines) and rewards should be changed or completely removed from the game. Those make the game irritating.
