Quest Description Bug

[Firebrand]

There's a strange line added at the end of the description of the Akatosh Chantry quest Avenge the Dragons (d0b00y00).

Also something similar on the Fighters Guild quest Hunt_for_Harpies (m0b1xy01)

Ah, those are notes I added while editing these quests. They weren't supposed to show up, but I must not have formatted them properly. I'll add another line and see if I can have them blocked out.

I've found another oddity: the quest giver from Akatosh when I accept the quest The Missing Scholar (c0b00y03) thanks Mara ( )

Also, I suppose the correct spelling is "walks with you"

The grammar is fine. It's what we call subjunctive; it uses the alternate form of the verb due to certain underlying assumptions. To be short, in this case the intended phrase is "May Mara walk with you," and "may" is omitted.

The variable %god currently chooses one of the eight deities at random. It isn't programmed to choose the temple's specific god yet.

Your command of English is excellent, better than mine for sure.. never knew what a subjunctive was before now.

Erm, yes it is. There are 3 different contextual implementations actually, and the quest one has a catchall which is a random god. Guess that's what's being used here. First it tries to get the god of the person last referenced, then the god of the quest giver, and then falls through to random.

If different behaviour is required, please define it and then we can fix it.

You're probably all over this by now Jay, but linking my topic about comment changes in text blocks below in case it helps.

I uploaded a fix to github... Hopefully I've formatted the code properly

Oh well, now, as a non-native English-speaker, I feel better

If a person belongs to X temple, can that person always use %god to refer to the patron god of that temple?

If, like in the example, that person is invoking a blessing, then yes.
I've read on UESP (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Akatosh_Chantry) that there are rivalries between temples factions, and that, for example, House of Dibella is an enemy of Akatosh Chantry, while Benevolence of Mara is an ally. So, it would sound strange if a priestess of Akatosh would invoke Dibella's blessing
