I know this is an old post, but I wanted to add some additional information. I just replied to ZunaSW's post on the same issue (http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1012633-quest-script-log-entry-and-quest-objectives-not-working/). I'm having exactly the same problem with my mod, which is quest-heavy. The first two quests work fine and queue from one to the next. They are dialog-heavy, and I've never had a problem filling the aliases or running the dialog ingame. My third quest worked great for a while -- as I continued to edit it and approach the finishing pieces, though, it would reach a point where it would load exactly like your screenshot, above (empty Quest Log). About five times over the course of a week, I'd revert to an earlier version of the mod to start with a working copy of the quest, but each time I continued to edit it, it'd come to the same point where it would load with an empty Quest Log. To clarify my reply to ZunaSW, I didn't strictly repeat the same order and type of edit while testing where the quest would break: sometimes I hadn't edited anything in the Quest form or its Aliases, Objectives, Stages, Scripts, etc. I finally deleted the entire quest from my mod and recreated it. I just loaded it in game and even the brand new version is loading with an empty Quest Log. Note that I had recreated it with identical Quest Data, Quest Stages, Quest Aliases, Quest Objectives, and Quest Dialogue as the last working version (I ensured this with screenshots and pasted text file copies). I forced the quest to advance through its stages to see more details (in console, "setstage [questname] [queststage]"). I discovered that my Global Variables weren't loading, either. Since the variables store counts of aliases, it looks like the aliases didn't load -- exactly what one of the earlier posters had identified. Some Q&A I've found suggested that either the ESP or the quest form could be corrupted. Since I've tested my mod by (1) reverting to a clean, working version as well as by (2) fully deleting and recreating my quest and found the empty Quest Log in both scenarios, it doesn't seem like a corruption issue. I'm going to test setting my aliases to optional to see if I can determine what was the root cause for my empty Quest Logs. If I can figure it out, I'll reply / edit this post. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: I just set all aliases to optional and ran the mod (off a clean starting point save, as usual). Here are the results: 1. The problematic third quest's Quest Log populated! 2. The third quest's Initial stage Quest Dialog did not initiate. I don't have any additional time tonight to troubleshoot, so it will be a few more days before my next update (hopefully, identifying what the root cause and ultimate solution was). I'll be sure to leave a final update to my post with the resolution that worked for me.
