Generated playtest checklist

  • Start/reach the quest naturally and verify journal index 5 is obtainable.
  • Reach index 5: Starkiller has began his countdown.
  • Reach index 10: Starkiller has counted down to 2.
  • Reach index 15: Starkiller has counted down to 1.
  • Reach index 20 (Finished): I have been attacked by Starkiller.
  • Verify any scripted reward/item transfer shown above actually occurs.
  • Verify involved NPCs/objects remain present and usable after the stage transition.
  • Verify no unrelated vanilla Morrowind dialogue/quest state appears during the flow.

QA console reference

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_Countdown. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
