Walkthrough#
1. Speak with Atticus in Tatooine, Dune Sea#
Speak with Atticus in Tatooine, Dune Sea.
Expected journal update — index 5: I found a Wookie in the deeper dune sea on Tatooine, surrounded by Sand People corpses. He doesn’t seem interested in me, however. He seems to be waiting on something. What happened here?
2. Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine#
Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine.
Expected journal update — index 10: I met a man in a camp on Tatooine named Rolf. He claims he and his Wookie friend were ambushed by a group of Sand People and they fended them off. This is backed up by the nearby Tusken corpses. He said his friend ran into the dune sea to get revenge on the Sand People, and Rolf is worried. He doesn’t want to in alone, but he won’t leave his friend behind. Should I help them?
3. Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and ask about bit of a pickle — Finished#
Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and ask about bit of a pickle.
Expected journal update — index 15: I decided not to get involved. This sounds dangerous, and I’d likely lose my life if I assisted him. I’m sure the Wookie will be fine. Wookies are tough people, able to rip men apart with ease. The Wookie will no doubt be fine on his own.
Outcome: this journal entry is marked as a finished branch.
4. Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and ask about bit of a pickle#
Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and ask about bit of a pickle.

5. Find Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and complete the encounter — Finished#
Find Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and complete the encounter.

6. Find Atticus in Tatooine, Dune Sea and complete the encounter — Finished#

Expected journal update — index 30: Atticus died in my company.
Outcome: this journal entry is marked as a finished branch.
7. Speak with Atticus in Tatooine, Dune Sea and ask about Rolf#
Speak with Atticus in Tatooine, Dune Sea and ask about Rolf.
Expected journal update — index 35: We found Atticus. He was surrounded by many, many, many Sand People corpes and didn’t look to be wounded at all. With the area likely clear of Sand People now, we should be able to make a safe exit.
8. Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and ask about bit of a pickle — Finished#
Speak with Rolf Dirulion in Tatooine and ask about bit of a pickle.
Expected journal update — index 40: Rolf and Atticus have been safely escorted out of the area and Rolf, grateful for my assistance, rewarded me appropriately. Next time, I should bring more help into such a situation, lest both of us lose our lives to the locals.
Known item transfer: 200 × Credits (Gold_001).

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