📋 About This Mod
Description
The mod will remove quest tags for all non-relevant quest items, not letting them get permanently stuck in your quest items tab. Works retroactively, you can install the mod at any point of your playthrough and it will fix all the past quest items, not just the future ones.
There are 3 different reset conditions used:
Quest based reset - Every quest item in the game is now paired with it's relevant quest. As soon as that quest ends, the mod will wipe the quest tag off of every item belonging to that quest.
Location based reset - Used primarily for keys that get stuck in inventory after rescuing merchants from cages. Once the particular marker on the map is marked as cleared, the keys will lose their quest tags and you will be able to get rid of them.
Unconditional reset - Used for items that never even should've been a quest item. For example, Tesham Mutna mask.
And finally there are some exceptions. Items that will always stay in your inventory no matter what (Eye of Nehaleni, Pontar Pass, keys to Corvo Bianco, Magic Lamp and a few others).
The latest version of the mod is only compatible with the Next-Gen version of the game, but Classic version can be found under Old Files in the Files section.
