Edit Quest in Save file

[Sarlaka]

Is there a way to edit quest in the save file? Can you advance a quest or force it to complete or go to the next stage in the quest? I'm stuck on scientific freedom. I have done about 3 researches and the quest is not wanting to move on for me. I try to reload, go back a save or two and everytime I get it, refuses to complete. I hate to try and start a new game, I gotten pretty far in this one. I looked in the save file and found the mission ID of the quest but idk what I'm supposed to do to make it complete.

I think this is best discussed in the S&M forum, so over it goes.

I advise strongly not to edit the saved game. Mission stages are inter-linked, i.e (de)activating other cues (in scripts). The only sound way of forcing a mission to complete is via a script and even that is not straightforward.

However, I think you are better off describing exactly the mission and stage you have trouble with.
