Morrowind talk:J'Saddha

Moved from Article

I have removed the following "bug" from the article:

* Due to a minor glitch in the dialogue, J'Saddha's name will appear as a topic with pretty much everybody in the world after you first hear about him. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about this, though there are some third party mods which correct the error. ?

Checking in the Construction Set, all the dialogue entries for the topic "J'Saddha" have conditional checks. Most of the entries are specifically tied to either Galyn Arvel, Garyn Girith, Sadal Doren, or Anes Hlaren. The three dialogue entries that don't check for a specific NPC do check the value of a local variable (toldSlavehunter) which is defined in the script avSlavehunter. This script is attached to the three aforementioned slave hunter NPCs involved in the quest and no one else. There are no generic entries for the topic. Given the conditional checks, I don't see how any other NPC could possibly have the "J'Saddha" topic, far less "pretty much everybody in the world".

If anyone can replicate this "bug" in a vanilla game, please post here to let us know. Otherwise, I think we can put this "bug" to bed. I notice that it has been present on the article page since the beginning; perhaps it was an early-version bug which was corrected by one of the official patches? That'd be my guess. — Wolfborn^(Howl) 03:21, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
