Troubleshooting Favor Quest

[AmericanJackal]

I created a simple new NPC for my game; the intention was to assign him a favor quest that when done, would allow him to become a follower and a potential marriage partner. (Fairly straight forward, I thought.)

 

I spent the majority of the day trying to figure our how certain Favor Quests detect their items -- in this case, I was using a simple "Deliver this" quest (FavorQuest001).

 

Now it is time for testing and suddenly I realized that I can't figure out how to actually TRIGGER the quest. The NPC is there and can be selected to talk to, but there are no dialogue options. To test if it was just the NPC, I COC'd to another NPC that uses the exact same quest and he did not have the quest either. After all the frustration I went to just to discover how the game recognizes quest items without ever actually naming the darn things, I'm hoping someone can show me some mercy and tell me how this particular quest gets activated or how the game determines you are eligible for it.

Still looking for help or suggestions.

 

I don't want to "force start" the quest using the console or anything, I want to make sure it will trigger naturally, but I can't find any information on what makes this quest activate (Favor001).
