Overview
Marks an entire quest as finished, identified by its editor ID. Because it can skip the events and state changes a quest normally performs, it may leave related quests or the world in an inconsistent state, so use it mainly to clear a hopelessly broken quest. Save beforehand. For a cleaner finish, advancing through stages with setstage is often safer.
