Awakening - Smuggler's Run Fix

As I mention, the quest is titled "Smuggler's Run", the location - City of Amaranthine. Availability of it depends on the player's choices and actions. At the conclusion of one of the quest branches, there's an interesting exploit/bug, certainly left in the game not on purpose.

Some more details:

As the second assignment given by the Shady Character, we are to take care of a band of thieves, which took over the hidden Smuggler's Cove. After the fight, the smugglers' leader appears to congratulate us personally for the dirty work. Once he rewards us with 15 sovereigns, he wants to give another assignment - one we can decline. If we do so, the next quest is still available, shown by a quest mark over the leader.

Initiating conversation again leads to the entire initial dialogue being played out again - and the reward can being received one more time. And so on - declining his next job resets the dialogue, and it can be exploited further. It has been so for fifteen years, no patch nor mod has dealt with it. Until now.

Now the dialogue plays out as it should - the conversation doesn't reset, and the reward is to be received only once.
