*****************
Quest Name: A Defenseless Lady
NPCs Used: Merille Leraine
Originating Cell: Ranyon-ruhn (exterior)

Story:

Note: The player must be a male to play this quest. Otherwise, it would be weird if Merille would be flirting with a female character :P.

In the town of Ranyon-ruhn, you meet a Breton woman named Merille Leraine. She tells the player that she needs to get to the Wetstone Tavern in Gah Sadrith, but she is too unfamiliar with Morrowind's climate, terrain, and bestiary to get there by herself. She basically is a con artist who is trying to make herself sound puny and defenseless to make the PC feel sorry for her, and basically use her good looks and overall "cuteness" to manipulate the PC. The player can either agree to escort her, or decline, stating that he will not allow Merille to manipulate him.

If he declines, she will simply say that she will find someone stronger and braver to escort her, but the PC can still go back and accept later on.

If he accepts, then it turns into a normal escort mission. I also made sure to add options so that you can tell her to "wait here" and that sort of thing as well.

When you arrive at the Wetstone tavern and go inside, she will stop following the player. When the PC talks to her, she will thank him for helping her, her disposition will increase. She will also say that she has nothing to give the player, other than her gratitude. To end the quest, the player must select the topic "Gratitude" and then choose to either demand a reward, or just leave it be. In either case, the quest ends.

My review:

Sniper, if you get the chance, could you playtest the travel together dialogue topic, I don't know what's going on, but it is in the esp, but not in-game.

I don't know what is up here. Tested it out, and it worked fine. Screenies attached below.

Majra, any idea what is going on?

haha firstly, awesome signature

ok, on to the business.

The reason is because one or both of you do not have clean folders. Something is being relied upon something else. Two possibilities are present.

Sniper, your saved game that you use to test your own quests is not a true clean game

Graff your saved game that you use to test your own quests is not a true clean game.

Both parties need to make sure they start from the beginning with a new character straight out the seyda neen hood before you can test. Both of you please respond when you have both done this, or if you have already done this.

Ah, so that's what a "clean" save means :P. Tested from a clean save, and travel together now fails to appear for me.

The only thing I can think of that is causing this, is that somehow, the way I have it, the player must have obtained the "Travel together" option in the past in order to see this.

In order to get this to show up, I may have to make a "Travel together" option that is available before the quest starts, or something. That way, it is assured to show up.

I did use a clean save, and always do so. I took extra care to make sure that nothing would affect the esp, given the oddness of the error.

Perhaps the travel together option could be activated by the PC having the first journal entry for the quest?

That's actually how it's currently set up.

Anyway, I've been talking with Sload. He said that right now, there are about 5 or 6 misc quests set up for RR. This is, of course, too much.

Since I have no clue how to fix this, and since there are already too many misc quests here as it is, I wouldn't mind dropping this quest for the above mentioned reasons.

Majra, if you'd still like me to fix this, then I'd be happy to. It will just take me a while to find out what's wrong. Just wanted to put this offer on the tabl, though.

To the first dialogue that starts up the quest add the following line to the results field:

Code: Select all

AddTopic "travel together"
Now the topic should appear when you initiate the quest, there are other ways to solve this (that will be "nicer" but it involves playign with conditions for making the NPC know about the topic and I'd have to load it to see). Also as this is the first quest for Ranyon Rhun the fact that others are being made is a moot point and not your fault (plus I like this quest).

Fix made, and I retested the entire quest on a clean save. Works sexily. Will attach below.
