hi im new to the dialogue thing. ok i am following a tut on http://geck.gamesas.com/ and it said to make a new quest then go to the topics tab and right click then new. i click the topic i want then ok but it wont show up in the topic list. all help thanked

You might have the "Top-level only" box checked. Uncheck that and see what happens.

nope nothings checked

If you give a little more detail about the steps you are taking, it will help someone help you faster. I am assuming that when you go to the Topics tab, you then go to the text box on the left side, below the 'Top-level only" button/box, and right click, then select "Add Topic' and then select the topic you have either created, or are reusing from another quest?

ok here is the link: http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/Quest_and_Dialogue_Tutorial im on step 5-dialogue. its when i click GREETINGS then ok it wont add to the topics list thing

Another possibility.

Make sure that when you've created a quest with a quest ID you first exit the quest window with OK, so your new quest is properly saved to the quest list. Otherwise you won't be able to add topics yet. When you open the quest again and you go to the topics tab it should work again.

It took me a while to figure that one out.

Well, I'm not sure what is going on then. I followed that exact tutorial a few months back, and everything worked out fine in the end.

I have noticed that you sometimes need to create a quest, then close it and save it, then reopen it for certain parts of the quest screen to work right. You might try that.

thnks that worked. its not somethn they teach in school lol

I made a tutorial on quests and Dialogue that includes some stuff not covered in the Bethesda tutorials. See my sig.
