Generated playtest checklist

  • Start/reach the quest naturally and verify journal index 5 is obtainable.
  • Reach index 5: I have found a droid in the Terenthium Mine on Dantooine that needs escort back to the Mining Office outside.
  • Reach index 10: I have decided to help the droid return to the mining office.
  • Reach index 15: The Czerka Corporation droid has died in my company.
  • Reach index 20: I have safely returned the droid from the Terenthium Mine. I should speak to its owners for a reward.
  • Reach index 25 (Finished): The Czerka Corporation was very pleased that I returned their droid and rewarded me with 500 credits.
  • 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_MiningProtocol. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
