Coven Quests seems to not consider reputation required

Post by Firebrand »

I've accidentally discovered in a dungeon the location of the Coven on the Bluff. I asked for Daedra summoning, but the witch asked me 200.000 gold (meaning, I suppose, that my reputation with that coven is 0).

I asked a quest, and the witch proposed me the quest "The Daedra's Heart", which, according to this page:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Witch_Covens#Quests

requires reputation between 40 and 49 (apart being completely insane for a PC on level 6 :lol: :lol: :lol: )

I've asked for different quests, and appears that I can receive any of the quests possible from the coven, independently from my reputation with them.

I'm using DFU Alpha 0.10.3 64 bit on Windows 7 - 64 bit.

I need some verification by Hazelnut on this point. The quest in question is q0c4xy04.

Code: Select all

Q0C00Y01, Witches, N, 0, 0, Passed.
Q0C00Y03, Witches, N, 0, 0,
Q0C00Y04, Witches, N, 0, 0,
Q0C00Y06, Witches, N, 0, 0,
Q0C00Y07, Witches, N, 0, 0,
-Q0C00Y08, Witches, N, 0, 0, FAILED. Clock wants a travel time but quest has no Place resources.
Q0C0XY02, Witches, N, 0, X,
Q0C10Y00, Witches, N, 1, 0,
Q0C20Y02, Witches, N, 2, 0,
Q0C4XY04, Witches, N, 4, X,
Since this is a not-member quest, the score is for reputation and not rank, and therefore it's supposed to tick up in double-digits, right Hazelnut? So we should be doing:
N, 10, 0
N, 20, 0
N, 40, 0
instead of how things are currently, right?

Yeah, quite possibly. Looks like it got converted when I changed guild dispensing to match classic. I'll try and find time to take a look tomorrow.

I've switched to DFU Alpha 0.10.4, travelled again to the Witch Coven, but they still give me sometime quests which I'm not supposed to receive, like again "The Daedra's Heart". I've only made one quest for them, so my reputation I think it's 5, but that quest requires between 40 and 49 :?

How I can check my exact reputation with that Witch Coven? Maybe in some savegame file?

Go to your save game's location and look for FactionData.txt. Inside you'll find a massive listing of all of DF's factions. Search for "Witches" until you find the one relating to your coven. Right below it there's a "rep" number.

Looks like it's 0:

Code: Select all

        {
            "Key": 423,
            "Value": {
                "id": 423,
                "parent": 0,
                "type": 8,
                "name": "The Sisters of the Bluff",
                "rep": 0,
                "summon": 17,
                "region": 17,
                "power": 15,
                "flags": 1,
                "ruler": 0,
                "ally1": 0,
                "ally2": 0,
                "ally3": 0,
                "enemy1": 0,
                "enemy2": 0,
                "enemy3": 0,
                "face": -1,
                "race": -1,
                "flat1": 22914,
                "flat2": 22914,
                "sgroup": 7,
                "ggroup": 22,
                "minf": 20,
                "maxf": 45,
                "vam": 0,
                "rank": 0,
                "rulerNameSeed": 0,
                "rulerPowerBonus": 0,
                "ptrToNextFactionAtSameHierarchyLevel": 0,
                "ptrToFirstChildFaction": 0,
                "ptrToParentFaction": 0,
                "children": null
            }
        }
This because, like I was writing here:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2504&p=29278

even if I completed a quest for them, it looks like that my reputation with them didn't improve :?
