NOTE: This article is incomplete. Much work is still left to be done. QST format is the file format used for quests within The Witcher.
QST File 
Править
QST files are based on BioWare's Generic File Format (GFF), and it is assumed that the reader of this article is familiar with GFF.
Main Structure Править
The main structure (the one with Type = -1) has the following format
| Field name | Field Type | Field Description |
| QuestLocName | CExoLocString | Quest name as it appears in the list |
| QuestLocMainPhas | CExoLocString | ? |
| QuestLocDescrip | CExoLocString | ?*) |

| QuestFailedLocDe | CExoLocString | ?*) |
| QuestFailedLocSh | CExoLocString | ?*) |
| Primary | BYTE | Is 1 if is a part of the plot |
| MotherDB | CExoString | ? Seems to be unused |
| MainPhase | list of QuestPhase structures | Main (initial?) phase of the quest, always contain exactly one item |
Notes: *) I suppose that this is the text that you see when you get (or fail) a quest.

| Phases | list of QuestPhase structures | Other quest phases and sub-quests |
| Conditions | list of Condition structures | Some conditions**) |
| PhaseActions | list of Action structures | Actions to perform when moving onto this phase |
**) This field is a double-purpose one.
The first purpose is to choose which branch of multi-branch phase to choose. "Branching" is not only decision-based, it also allows the game to show different text depending on quest progress - like number of sephirots left to be placed in the corresponding quest.
The second purpose is to check weather the player has advanced to next quest phase.
Overall condition for the phase is done by joining single conditions in this list with (supposedly) "AND" predicate.
