Hi guys!

I just started playing DD and I'm loving it! Nevertheless the quest breaking stuff can get real frustrating. In my case, i got stuck with the "To Rivertown" quest anoying me in the quest log.

As I haven't found a fix for this quest anywhere, I figured then a way to mark the quest as completed hex editing the questlog.

So I hope this can be usefull to anyone having this kind of issues and, if this kind of problem have been issued or solve already, I apologize in advance. So, shall we go to the solution then?

In the save folder, you can find a file named quest_log.000. That's where your quests are stored. The file is actualy a list of every ques in the game and it's structure is, actually, quite simple!

First things first, you should ignore the first 6 bytes. They will always be "4D 4C 33 49 44 00" which I think is some kind of 'magic number'. So you'll wanna start in offset 06!

From there, you will find a structure of 34 bytes which repat itself until the end of file. Each 34 byte structure represent a different quests. There are, therefore, 196 quests in the game (Maybe the subquests are included in this count). The structure of the quest is quite simple:

Bytes 0-3: Quest number (It's stored as a 4 bytes long number)
Byte 4: I have no idea, but it's always 01
Byte 5: It's the status of the quest (00 for unknown, 01 for active, 02 for failesd, 03 for completed)
Bytes: 6-9: Those are always 00
Bytes: 10-21 and 22-33: Those are timestamps. They register the moment you get and finish the quest, but i'm not quite sure which is which.

Now let's do some hexing (please don't hex anybody)!

Your first problem will be figuring out which of theses structures represents your quest. I don't have a list but i found my quest using the day counting. In my case, the game stated that I have started the quest 71 days back. I couldn't find that number but i tried subtracting one (that's a thing...). So I found the number i was looking for in position 10. Positions 14 and 18 confirmed the time stated in the quest log.

Quest found! Next I changed the status from 01 to 03 and voila! Quest completed!

Thank you guys! Hope it helps somebody. I'm sorry for the typos. I did it in a hurry because a wanted to get back to playing :-D

EDIT: I have no idea what are the consequences of completing the quests like this!
