Can't Clear Quest Log

Sir Frank · 01-21-2003, 10:20 AM

I Still have an open quest for the Umar Hills. The people missing quest. I destroyed the shadow master, made peace with the orges north of town. The mayor is happy as well as most town folk and my completed quest log shows most of the quests completed. Is this a bug or have I missed something? I'm playing with ToB and all current updates. The messaging boy still asks Mince to visit the village. Do I need to kill the sleeping Dragon in the ruins to clear my quest log?

did you kill the shadow alter ?

no, the dragon is optional, though i recommend killing him. as mr_krift said, you propably havent killed the shadow altar, or perhaps you left too soon and didnt get merella to speak with you. im not sure, but these are a few suggestions.

Sir Frank it may be open if you didn't talk with the the Minotaur and Ogres one final time. They give you something for your efforts. Did you do this.

I've had the same problem with different quests. I never found a way to solve them, but I really didn't care, as it didn't mean anything to the game. So I think that it is some sort of hard-to-get-rid-of bug, and not that you haven't finished the quest.

Hmm, came to think of it, perhaps one could use SK to change it? You know, open the game, go to 'Global Variables', and set the quest-string(s) to 2? Worth trying some day. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've come across this a lot. I think it tends to happen when there are a few ways to start a quest, or a few options early on that all lead to the same thing. If you take all the early options or talk to all the early people, only one of them will be struck off when you complete the quest, the rest will remain in your 'to-do- list.

a prime example of this is the haer'dalis quest. if you have aerie and she gets her message, it will often be left in your journal as unfinished unless you do the quest in exactly the right order.
