All attempts to investigate this area have been in vain, and none of our researchers have returned. We’re willing to give 3,000 credits to the diver that can give us evidence on what is in this area.”.

QA console reference

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