Description: 

There are several errors or misleading intructions in Jeras Ticedo's response to the topic "factory", all related to the quest "Factory of Strife":

  • First, he is only asking you to slay a band of bandits, yet somehow the player knows that they are Orcs, which is also written in the journal. Changing his dialogue to "orc bandits" would help.
  • He is not giving any directions to where those Orcs are, only telling that they are nearby. It would be a good idea to tell that they are found across the Dwemer bridge accessible through the second entrance to the ruins, because if leaving through the same way as you came in, one may end up looking for them in the nearby Dorammu Cavern, and from there it is hopeless to get out with an NPC companion (he tends to fall down into the pool).
  • There is a typo in the second to last response, "have shouldn't" should just be "shouldn't"
  • Finally, two of the responses have been partly swapped. If having taken care of the Orcs with the help of Nedheleg, the response and dialogue entry suggests that the player has killed the Orcs without him asking for help, and vice versa. On the other hand, the rewards seem to be correctly set, so only the text and journal entries should be swapped, not rewards or scripting.
