Slave keys

Submitted by jdkbph on

Hi all.

Another question.

I'm having a problem freeing slaves in the game. For example, when I go to Caldera mine, take the Caldera slave key form the guard tower, locate a slave in the mine and select Go Free form the dialog menu, I'm told that I need the key to do that.

I have the key!

Any idea why the game (script?) doesn't recognize that?

As an aside I had the same problem others have had with regard to the Set Free dialog option not appearing when it should. I used the suggested trick of opening the console and typing "addtopic 1goSfree". This worked insofar as the dialog option appearing for every slave I talk to now, but did it have some adverse effect on the script itself?

Thanks for any assistance.

How did you Start the Slave Quest

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

The quest "Free the Slaves" (Jobasha told me that the Khajiti slaves in the Ascadia Isles and Caldera suffer) started when I talked to Jobasha in Vivec in connection with the Vivec Informants quest (Speak with three informants in Vivec about the Nerevarine Cult and the Sixth House).

The Two Lamps option popped up in dialogs at some earlier point but I didn't realize it was quest related (at least I now think it is) and didn't pay much attention to what may have triggered it.

What is the name of a slave you can't free?

Can't free any of the three in the Caldera mine (Gilm, Inorra, Khazura)

Alright, I see. Freeing slaves from Caldera mine is tied to House Redoran questline.

This needs to be approached carefully because freeing them too early may break quests afterwards.

Well, this isn't the cause of the entire problem. I'm now in Zebabi, key in hand (having disposed of the previous owner) but, in speaking with the slaves, the "free" dialog does not appear. So I tried the "addtopic 1goSfree" console command again and the Set Free dialog option appears. Clicking on that dialog option, I'm now getting the proper responses and options.

I found that once the first slave is freed, all subsequent conversations with Slaves work correctly without having to use the console again.

So, it appears that you were correct about Caldera being a special case, but there's still something wrong with the script that triggers the option in the first place.

In any case, I seem to be moving along now, but I just thought I'd mention it in case someone wants to take a look at the script and possibly fix it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Thanks again.
