Description:
The quest Meet the Mother-In-Law in Teyn> https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Tamriel_Rebuilt:Meet_the_Mother-In-Law
If your personality (and disposition) is below a certain level, the mother (Parnilla Marard) will just stay in a dialogue loop and will only stop if you choose the option to confess.
If the desired result is for her not to believe in you if you prsonality is too low, then a suitable dialogue response should exist for that case.
Comments
I assume the original
I assume the original intention here was that she loses disposition for every wrong answer, and if you're already under dispo 25 at this point the jig is up and you have to come clean. But the correct lines were given a dispo 25 requirement too. The main issue was that if you started out below 25, the initial dialogue would loop forever. With the later dialogue choices this approach would theoretically work. It would mean that if she hates you, she accuses you of lying even if you give the "correct" answer, which would make sense writing-wise. However, since you can't increase her dispo once you clicked the quest topic once, I don't think this is a good gameplay solution.
So what I did is that if you get every answer right, you pass, no matter your dispo. But with a higher dispo you get an increased tolerance for wrong answers before she sees through you. I think that's a good way to do it.
