📋 About This Mod
Fortunately, this has never been a major bug - but it still is one. The main plot journal updated only if we talked to the three characters in such order: first, Mistress Woolsey, then, Varel or Garavel (Garavel or Varel also works). If only we talk to any of the two men first, and then to Mistress, the main plot "Awakening" isn't updated. On the other hand, her journal entry is not updated in any case, even though she's always had a nice journal entry waiting to be displayed after having talked to her.
She still gave us a new quest - "The Righteous Path", but the main quest entry was still at at its previous stage (before the player talked to the Wardens' treasurer). A solution for that was to talk to Varel again and ask the main plot-related question again. With this mod, you can talk to the character in any order you feel inclined to do so - the journal entries will be updated correctly, without unimmersive necessity to talk to Varel about the very thing we've just finished talking to him about.
