Generated playtest checklist

  • Start/reach the quest naturally and verify journal index 5 is obtainable.
  • Reach index 5: A Rodian named Dex in the Rodian District of Sandriver has asked me to aquire some deathsticks for him.
  • Reach index 10 (Finished): Dex was very grateful I got him his deathsticks, and he gave me some grenades in return.
  • 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_DeathSJourn. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
