(Seen in a
stream, about an hour in)
The log entry for the quest does not mention the questor location.
You're supposed to bring back some book, but if you forgot where you got the quest from, you may be unable to complete the quest.

Code: Select all
%qdt:
==qgiver_ have sent
me to ___contact_
to meet a =contact_
named _contact_ at
__contact_ about
a very rare book. I am to return the
book to ==qgiver_
in =queston_ days or less.
==qgiver_ is apparently intended to resolve to the building name (in this case, dungeon name) but is the faction instead, "The Glenmoril Witches," which doesn't match the coven name. UESP records it:
(Date): (Witch coven) have sent me to (town) to meet a (contact's description) named (contact's name) at (building) about a very rare book. I am to return the book to (witch coven) in (time limit) days or less.

That must be it. So probably a problem more generic than just this quest
Talking of strange macro expansions, he also took A0C00Y15 twice, and each time NPCs asked "Would you by chance be heading toward <current town name> anytime soon?" etc.
That looks suspiciously broken.
Code: Select all

Digging a bit deeper into A0C00Y15 quest,
Code: Select all
Person _pickupregion_ face 232 group Local_3.0
Local_3.0 is a faction in Quests-Factions.txt
Those values make Person.AssignHomeTown() pick a local scope
Code: Select all
if (p1 == 0 && p2 < -2 && p2 != -6)
{
// From usage in the quests it appears -3 and lower are local.
// Referencing quest Sx009 where player must locate and click an NPC with only a home location to go by
// and K0C00Y04 where two Group_7 npcs are local.
// Interkarma Note: -6 is used by Thieves Guild introduction quest O0A0AL00 and should be a remote NPC. Treating -6 as remote.
scope = Place.Scopes.Local;
}
But obviously the quest is designed for that person to be in a remote location

The selection of local/remote should be resolved as of 0.11.5 based on Ferital's reverse engineering.
I assume the initial issue in first post remains however? Will need to re-test quest in 0.11.5 or later to confirm if this is also fixed.
