Quest generation with forced seed

Post by pango »

I'm watching lycan____ on Twitch, and he has been doing the same quest (same lich dust fetch quest in the same dungeon, always placed at the same quest location,...) 4 times in a row...

This is a problem I suspected to happen before: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=924&p=39061#p39056

Installed mods: DREAM, Handpainted models, Location loader, NPC Health indicator, Real grass, Rocks of Daggerfall, Warm Ashes

The random generator should really be re-seeded before parsing quests, at least. I don't know if other systems are more subtly impacted.
