Can't make Darius recognise she's been cured. I've used six cure blight scrolls on her and nothing. What gives? :(

Edit: Never mind. Looks like using the scroll on her doesn't count if the quest hasn't been given and the quest isn't given when you're first informed of it but only when you click some convo threads relating to it... Strange.

Why would you want to cure the queen if you haven't been told to do so in the first place ?

It looks like this: Darius tells you how great you are to solve the murder plot and bring the murderer to justice and says you should be able to deal with the kama queen problem. Miners in the mine have already told you that the problem is blight and you need a scroll or something to cure her. So you go and do it. But it turns out you need to follow more deeply on the links in the conversation with Darius. This isn't a problem with most quests because the result counts, anyway. But in this case, even if you use the scroll on the queen, you won't get a journal update and solve your quest. Basically, the script first checks if you're on quest, from what I've been able to gather via Google.

You've got it exactly right, chev. One of the reasons why you want to make sure you stay closely defined on your quests...Morrowind has a way of punishing you if you go around trying to do good deeds :p .

There's a similar conflict that happens if you cure a blighted orc you may meet without being given the quest first. Sometimes even NPC's are hostile toward you if you haven't been given the quest that involves them.

I know it's hard sometimes to walk past that tempting Daedric ruin and not take a peek inside, but doing so might foul up a quest that you'd be given later.

Ooops... you mean the caves as well? Those with the funny long names? I tend to move in, kill whomever attacks me and free the slaves...

I think the worst thing is quests which block your advancement in other guilds or houses or something like that. I think it's realistic and the game forces you to think about the consequences of your actions without giving you a foolproof insurance from messing up, but still... I appreciate the hints, like with the potential thieves guild and fighters guild conflicts, that the game gives.
