what i am trying to say - treat task window as a journal that keep track which part of the quest you on - this is every way identical to keeping quest notes on a peace of paper next to your pc - quest journals like that was in games since Bauldurs Gates. It doesn't have to contain spoiling or simplified information - its just the notes your character wrote down.
The quest itself can be as complicated and puzzling as you like.

Personally i have always hated the task system. On live i loved reading through the quest text regardless of how mundane the ultimate task would be. I feel like the task system removes players from any investment in their characters and in the world, and they just take the world of warcraft approach where u dont even read the quest, look @ the task and go about doing it. the way i see if people dont want to read the quest text to figure out what they have to do, then they should go back to WoW :P (or any other current gen mmo these days ><)

well the task window doesn't take that away from you. Just because the task window says :
"Discover the origins of Green Book" - doesn't mean you have a clue what needs to be done if were not reading what the hell NPC was talking about.
WoW quest journal is way more straight forward with putting ??? on the map and near detail instruction what to do to complete the quest which I agree is somewhat retarded.
In other words - task manager is a TOOL - what you make out of it is up to you
