Daggerfall prophet quest

Post » Tue Jul 27, 2010 1:40 pm

I got a quest from the temple of Arkay to investigate a "prophet".

The beginner's Guide to Daggerfall has this to say about this kind of quest:
"...You may have heard of ..." or "It falls upon us to investigate the claims of ..." (any rep): a confusing quest, at best, with many possible outcomes. It also tends to hang up a lot on my system. Save the game after accepting the quest and follow the instructions that come up for you. Sometimes it involves dungeon crawling, sometimes not.


Yeah, I find it confusing too. I'm supposed to meet woman X at Tavern Y in town Z. Woman X tells me to investigate some merchant P in Town Q that knew the prophet previously. I go see said merchant, and he tells me to go tell woman X that he's not the guy. I go back to X, but she won't talk to me when I try to activate her. How do these quests normally go? Should I just start visiting all the people and places mentioned so far (like the dungeon where the alleged miracle happened) ?

Yea, I hate those quests, which is why I don't accept them in the first place. Sometimes your journal ends up with information that wasn't in the dialog, so check your journal for clues; if you haven't been to the dungeon, go there and look for evidence (probably a journal or something). Otherwise, sure, go revisit everyone or--better yet--ditch the prophet and vow not to accept unstable quests in the future :)
