TSM Jowan's Intention Fix, v. 1.1
Date: 2019-06-19 File under: where for art thou, Jowan? Author: theskymoves
================= Requirements: =================
Dragon Age: Origins
================= Description: =================
Fix for the bugged quest 'Jowan's Intention', which should trigger if you free Jowan from the Redcliffe dungeon ("Run. I never want to see you again.")
================= Details: =================
This is a standalone fix for the bugged quest 'Jowan's Intention', which should trigger if you free Jowan from the Redcliffe dungeon, by telling him "Run. I never want to see you again."
The cause is that the quest is mislabelled as a "Plot" quest rather than a "Chanter's Board" quest. Because of this, at the end of the Arl of Redcliffe, the trigger to activate the quest on Denerim Chanter's Board instead puts it up directly in the quest log. This causes it to skip the "quest accepted" script, which is supposed to activate Jowan's location on the world map, and thus breaks the quest.
To fix it yourself, use the Toolset to change Plots -> Light Content/lite_chant_rand_jowan.plo's Entry Type property from Plot to Chanters, and then recompile Scripts -> Light Content/Plot Scripts/lite_chant_rand_jowan and Scripts -> Arl Eamon/Plot Scripts/arl000pt_contact_eamon. Drop all of those changed files into the override folder, and this quest should trigger normally.
This mod is my editing/compiling of those files as enumerated on the wiki. It has been minimally tested (by myself, in one playthrough).
Note that I am, in fact, aware of the fact that there are other 'fix packs' which address this bug; this fix is standalone, and offered for users who may not want any other changes to their game.
================= Notes and blather: =================
See the Dragon Age Wiki for extensive information on the quest and the various solutions to it not triggering.
I also recommend installing my cosmetic fix for the encounter, Jowan and another different Jowan fix, else when you finally trigger the scene, there will be TWO Jowans... 'tis most disturbing.
