    /**
    @brief
        Represents a Quest in the game. A Quest is a task that the player can (or has to) fulfill upon which he will (possibly) receive some kind of reward.

        A Quest can have a list of sub-quests and has a parent-quest (if it is not a root-quest).
        Each Quest exists only once but it has a different status (inactive, active, failed or completed) for each player.
        A Quest can have several hints (QuestHint) that can be unlocked through @ref orxonox::QuestEffect "QuestEffects" and then display aid in solving the Quest.
        A Quest can have a list of @ref orxonox::QuestEffect "QuestEffects" that are invoked when the quest is failed and also a list of @ref orxonox::QuestEffect "QuestEffects" that are invoked, when the Quest is completed.

        Quest itself should not be instantiated, if you want to create a quest either use LocalQuest or GlobalQuest, whichever suits you needs better.
