Issue #35793: Problems related to Olava's Token in misc quest

 
The miscellaneous quest (DBOlavaReadingMiscObjective) to get a reading from Olava the Feeble has a couple of problems:

1) The token isn't marked as a quest item, and it likely should be after you receive it from Gabriella. If it weren't for the bug mentioned below, the quest would break if it was sold or lost.

2) You aren't required to have the token in your inventory when asking for the reading. This is obviously a bug because the dialogue (see below) doesn't make sense if you aren't carrying the token, and she also can't take it from you if you're not carrying it.

Player: "I have this token for you."
Olava: "Token, you say? Let me see."

There's an error in one of the condition checks for the dialogue topic. The game is looking for a quantity of greater than or equal to zero (>= 0) for DB06OlavaToken in the player's inventory. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that should either be greater than zero (> 0) or exactly equal to one (== 1).

Official Skyrim Patch change log:
"In Breaching Security, the quest token is no longer required to receive a fortune reading from Olava the Feeble"

I didn't remember this until I noticed Update.esm modifies the dialogue topic's condition check that I mentioned in my report. Since the change log entry is vague, I can't recall what the original problem and reasoning was behind this way back then (2012?). The quest design seems illogical to me, but I'm guessing you're not going to want to mess with something changed by the developers.
