Name: 

Sugar and Spice

Description: 

Stage 10 is just the beginning of the TR_m1_FW_SugarAndSpice quest, so I understand it's not supposed to mark the quest as finished, but it seems to be. I opened the files in CS and can see the "Daeria Vucinia, a retired ex-legionnaire in Firewatch, is concerned about another ex-legionnaire in Uriel's Quarter named Polius Tertius who has developed an addiction to skooma." journal entry with a Finished checkbox checked

Since the quest is updated to journal stage 10 in the first dialogue with Daeria without the player agreeing to help her, I think the intention here was to prevent the quest from cluttering the players' journal if they don't want to do it. However, in the current implementation this also means that the quest will never appear in the list of open quests for those that do want to do it, since the restart flag is missing from journal stage 20. However, this is still a pretty non-standard solution, so it should be handled in a different way anyway.

Fix:

  • Removed journal stage 10, merged the text to journal stage 20. The player can now talk to Daeria and reject the quest without getting a journal update.
  • Added the missing hyperlink to the "skooma problem" topic to the journal stage 20 entry
  • Added the missing command addTopic "war buddy" to Daeria's dialogue
