Walkthrough#

1. Speak with HK-43 in Gamorr, Ucksmug and ask about issue#

Speak with HK-43 in Gamorr, Ucksmug and ask about issue.

Expected journal update — index 5: An HK series assassin droid has had it’s combat module removed by some ignorant Gammoreans who were attempting to reprogram it. He wants me to find it, and says that those scraps were taken in a Redhair raid. I should search the desert for the Redhair Clan and see if I can find the combat module.

2. Reach journal stage 10#

Route needs playtest verification. No literal journal setter was found for this stage in the parsed dialogue/MWScript evidence. Follow the surrounding quest context and verify whether this entry is reachable, indirect, optional, or historical.

Expected journal update — index 10: I have found the combat module, I should return this to the HK series assassin droid in Ucksmug.

3. Speak with HK-43 in Gamorr, Ucksmug and ask about issue — Finished#

Speak with HK-43 in Gamorr, Ucksmug and ask about issue.

Stage 5

An HK series assassin droid has had it’s combat module removed by some ignorant Gammoreans who were attempting to reprogram it. He wants me to find it, and says that those scraps were taken in a Redhair raid. I should search the desert for the Redhair Clan and see if I can find the combat module.

How this stage is set:

  • Dialogue INFO 25764937731870215 under topic issue; speaker HK-43 (SW_GamorrShady). locations: Gamorr, Ucksmug. conditions: Journal SW_ModuleJourn Equal 0. response: “My combat module was ripped out of me by these ignorant meat pigs thinking they could reprogram me. I’m an assassin droid without a combat module, and I’m not very happy about it. I would just go take it back, but they put it in the scraphouse and it got taken by the Redhair Clan in a raid. I need someone to get it back, if you happen back out into that desert and can find the precious piece of equipment, I would be very grateful if you returned it to me.”.
Journal SW_ModuleJourn 5

Stage 10

QA console reference

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