Quest issues - bugs/exploits

Submitted by Mike P on

EDIT: stricken text is fixed in Morroblivion v0.61 and later.

A Friend in Deed
The equipment contract can simply be purchased from Relan Tilvur without the need to steal it.

Brandy for the Fundraising Dinner
Dulnea Ralaal gives another bottle of brandy each time she is asked.

Gathering Netch Leather
The Belt of Balyna's Soothing Balm is not actually given to the player as a quest reward, despite the dialog indicating it is given.

Kidnapped by Cultists (maybe a vanilla Morrowind bug?)
Even after rescuing Malexa and reuniting her with Sason, she speaks as though she's still imprisoned ("You don't look like one of those cultists," etc.).

Mysterious Killings in Vivec
The "work" and "woman with dagger" dialog topics don't properly appear with Elam Andas when they should. Also, even when forcing the topics to appear using the console ("addtopic 1womanSwithSaSdagger"), then choosing them and hearing the updated rumors in the Foreign Quarter, the woman still doesn't appear in the Underworks. Again, the console ("setstage fbmwtownvivec 50") must be used to force the quest to complete.

Nels Llendo
After paying/kissing Nels when first meeting him, he does not reappear in the Pelagiad Halfway Tavern (as he did in Morrowind).

Rescue Madura Seran
If the player leaves the hut with Madura (i.e. chooses the "Leave together"/"Follow me" dialog topics) without paying Abassel, Abassel does not get angry or attack: in response to the "Madura Seran" dialog topic, he simply states "She is free to go," whether or not the player had talked with Abassel previously. Also, Madura's "Ald Velothi" dailog topic is bugged, as she states "I'm glad to be back" although still at the camp.

The Silver Staff of Shaming
The Detect Enchantment Ring is not actually given to the player at the start of the quest, despite the dialog indicating it is given. (Maybe this is a problem with implementing Detect Enchantment in Morroblivion? Either way, the dialog is incorrect.)

Fixed.

Even when starting a new game under Morroblivion v0.59 or 0.60, the "woman with dagger" dialog topic doesn't properly appear with Elam Andas when it should. Also, even when forcing the topic to appear using the console ("addtopic 1womanSwithSaSdagger"), then choosing it and hearing the updated rumors in the Foreign Quarter, the woman still doesn't appear in the Underworks. Again, the console ("setstage fbmwtownvivec 50") must be used to force the quest to complete.

The topic you should've talked with Elam Andas about is "Work", not "Woman with a dagger". By using console commands you broke the quest yourself.

Hey qwerty - by "fixed" for the first quest, do you mean it will be fixed in the next update? As for the "Work" topic for the second quest, it only appeared after I used the console command, so the quest is still broken as is.

Yes.

I played this quest and all topics appeared as normal. I've made 'work' topic to be added in initial rumors, just in case.

Dulnea Ralaal gives another bottle of brandy each time she is asked.

Fixed.

The Belt of Balyna's Soothing Balm is not actually given to the player as a quest reward, despite the dialog indicating it is given.

Most of the belts were not converted, because Oblivion doesn't support that. I've changed the quest reward to amulet of the same effect.

Even after rescuing Malexa and reuniting her with Sason, she speaks as though she's still imprisoned ("You don't look like one of those cultists," etc.).

What dialogue topics are you talking about?

After paying/kissing Nels when first meeting him, he does not reappear in the Pelagiad Halfway Tavern (as he did in Morrowind).

Fixed. I've also restored missing dialogue for male PC's.

Qwerty, thanks for taking care of these. Unfortunately I don't have a save from before the "Kidnapped by Cultists" quest to test Malexa's post-quest dialog again, but I remember her post-quest choices and responses were identical to those she had when the player first met her in the shrine before rescuing her.
