[0.8.8] Refusing Rachael can break dare questline

If you agree that Rachel shows you "something" during the dartes and go into the corner, and then refuse her to show you her breasts, the questline will break.

You will not be able to do any other dare tasks from that point forward.

This also happens if you agree to follow her but do not come through...

Note that refusing before going into corner does not break the quest.


I think this is because some Dare flag is not reset to None, in these two scenarios. I see in debugger that this normally happens every time that dare task is done, but not in these cases.

Scenario with Rachael showing fully naked suffers partially with same issue.

Refusing outright? Works fine. Refusing on location too.

But not arriving on location in time leads to bugged state (inability to get new dares).

Related bug:
Getting caught while Rachael is masturbating will lead to her indefinite moaning. Only during dialogue will she temporarily stop.


I think this was reported in old forums for 0.8.7, as an issue with intimacy command that stops the actions, and that it does not stop moaning.

Re: [0.8.8] Refusing Rachael can break dare questline

Alright, yeah the dare quest line breaking should be consistent. Anything short of actually following her, saying yes to what she wants to show you, and in short, acting like an interested guy/playing along with her dare should break the dare quest line entirely. Nonstop moaning is also a bug; there was a change in how the intimacy acts were ended that is leading to moaning and oral sounds continuing when they should not in some cases.

Found one more thing.

Reloading saves resets CurrentDare to None.

Which has several implications:
1) It will fix bugged out dares. Making it possible to progress in dares again. Can explain why some of these bugs were not found earlier
2) It may break any dares that are in progress (not sure)

Re: [0.8.8] Refusing Rachael can break dare questline

It won't break any and all dares that are in progress, at least not commonly. Some dares are more resilient than others, especially those that are simply "do one thing", as opposed to "queue up some events and then perform more than one queued event when that's done!", but even then it depends on exactly when the save was made. There is additional logic that is hidden behind that scenes that should ensure they continue even after a load. That being said we've had some rare occurrences of dare text receipt dialogue and phone sounds being duplicated, etc.
