Skipping Quests

Post by haydox »

I searched for this but found no answers, it also isnt like skipping the tiresome warrens where you can *spoilor*
Spoiler
just go into noclip mode to the end of each level
as there are quest triggers and 1 or 2 items to get.

Basically, i started to play as a gangrel so i could rip people up in my war form when i have gotten enough exp to do so, however after 5-6 times i now find the ocean house boring (tho still scary....well done developers!). I know you can set the game to think certain quests are complete as that was a solution to a quest crashing when you returned to a boat (forgot the quest, but im sure i remember a solution involving console commands).

So....is there a command which can make the game think i am at "completion stage ID 1" of the Spiritual Release quest, which according to quests_santamonica.txt is when you get the journal and escape the kitchen, and which sets the The Ghose Haunts at Midnight quest to "completion stage ID 2", which according to the same file occurs when you get the pendant.

I dont know if it is really complicated to do, but it seems that if i can set those quests to those stages and give myself the 2 items and the normal amound of exp i would gain, then i could simply go back to the Asylum as normal.....

Please help!

What I do for the ghost house is just use "noclip" then fly up to the room and get the necklace then fly out. Fast and easy, and you avoid the scary stuff haha.

No. Here's a breakdown of all the xp you can get for this quest:

1 point for getting the pendant
1 point for giving the pendant to Therese
1 point for giving the pendant to Jeanette
1 point for refusing to give the pendant to Jeanette

Obviously, some of those are mutually exclusive. You get the most xp for giving the pendant to Therese.
