Generated playtest checklist

  • Start/reach the quest naturally and verify journal index 5 is obtainable.
  • Reach index 5: I met a Rodian named Qaec Ztez in the Nar Shaddaa Cantina who is trying to get a hold of his brother on Dantoo…
  • Reach index 10 (Finished): I gave Qaec the datapad I found of his brother’s and gave him the news. He wasn’t as heartbroken as I had fear…
  • 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_DantBroth. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
