Issue #32814: DialogueGoodneighborRufus - Complete Quest

 
I know this was brought up here previously, but there may be a more viable solution rather than to have this quest never close out if you decide to keep Buddy. I keep buddy and set a Complete Quest at stage 520. All works well with that. Where I feel they went wrong with this quest is if you do not talk to or meet Rufus ahead of time, there is always a dialog option to sell Buddy to him once you finally do. There is a duplicate response in his dialog tree if you already talked to him that could be replaced with this option to sell him. All options would still be there along with this one. This would allow for you to finally close out the quest and still allow for the sale at any time. I'm not skilled enough yet at quests or I would have tried it. The only thing that would probably change is negotiation for price in the current quest tree if you bargained for higher payment. Just a thought if you wanted to look into it again.

Also, if you did talk to Rufus and got the quest, Buddy has "I've sold you to Rufus Rubins in Goodneighbor" in his dialog tree when Complete Quest at 520 is set. I haven't checked to see if this is in his tree when you don't talk to Rufus and take him, but I'll do that next round. Seems like everything is in place to handle this quest the right way if you wanted to take it on.

That quest holds all of Rufus's dialogue. ALL of it. Including his lines as a merchant. Buddy's post-quest lines too, btw. If you stop the quest, they both remain completely silent for the rest of the game, and this cannot be undone.

Dialogue always lives on quests, not on actors.
