What's Your Favorite Quest/Dialogue Tutorial Resource?

[ManehattanProject]

I'd love to hear everyone's input on how they learned to wrangle the massive beast that is quests and dialogue within the GECK. While of course this can be Googled, I want the expert's opinions on the best resources rather than fumbling around in the dark?

 

So what do you have folks? What helped you the most?

This is the only tutorial I ever used to learn the basics of dialogue and quests. I still look at it when I am unsure about stuff.

That's the one I used when I first started writing quests. It's simple and covers the basics in a very straight forward manner.

 

I might be able to give better recommendations if I knew exactly what you are looking to learn how to do.

I tend to look at stuff in GECK from the vanilla games so I can see how things work in a real game play setting.

 

That is a good tutorial however, lots of good stuff in there.

I designed all of our dialogue options as flowcharts. It seemed the only logical thing to do as least from a writing perspective. Here's a link to one of our first conversation scripts.

Sorry about the formatting, I have an issue with my eyes that require me using special things and the output gets weird occasionally.

 

Our issue is trying to figure out how to get the various points of dialogue to all loop back into:

 

"It’s…it’s like I’m the only one who can see what’s going on! I’ve been hearing these strange sounds from a cave in the cliffs."

Honestly, I think I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be and I'm just missing something obvious...or doing something not permitted. I know you can't have two NPC responses (separate responses) to one player statement. (Without conditionals, of course).
