Talk:Missing Citizens/@comment-173.179.134.212-20180810020230/@comment-3234315-20180811143623

Hi, POLE7645!

Okay, so with Unfinished Business …

There are several variables involved, and I haven't yet found out what some of them are intended for exactly. Specifically the Local Variable  (this one is checked for the party member who's doing the talk) and the Global one,.

However, I can only check things for an original, not Enhanced, installation together with UB but also a bunch of other mods.

Perhaps the easiest way to solve that would be to "clean up" things with EE Keeper to a state that would be expected by the game after this conversation. This might have unexpected consequences, though. Just in case, make a second save as backup before editing. And you should do this with a savegame from before exiting the Flaming Fist keep.
 * You should have gained 3,000 or 4,000 (I don't know how UB handles this in the EE) and 3,000 XP.
 * You should not have "Investigate the mysterious disappearance of citizens." or "Missing Citizens" any longer in your active quests journal. (Perhaps this uses another wording in the EE.)
 * Instead it might be under your solved quests, with an entry similar to "I reported to Scar that an ogre mage was behind the disappearances, and returned a ruby ring that belonged to the Sashenstar family." In an unmodified EE you would get "Scar and the Iron Throne" as new quest.
 * Keep  untouched – it has to be 5 now.
 * Change  to 3.
 * Delete the ring (if not already taken) and the body from your inventory (with EE Keeper).
 * Close that savegame edit window, which lets EE Keeper ask if you want to save: confirm this. It automatically will add a suffix to the savegame name, but you can choose an alternative one.
 * Go back into the game (you don't have to quit it, not even the scene, while editing) and load your new save, go outside and start talking to Scar for a test. He should say: "Hello . I have another job for you. This one involves a group you have dealt with in the past - the Iron Throne. Duke Eltan himself wishes to speak to you about this. Will you come with me?" (or similar, don't know about EE adjustments). If this works, you could as well reload and choose to not to talk to him right now, if you don't want to at this moment, but the variables then seem to be okay. (Don't care about the local one.)

Hope, this helps. :)
