    Title: Obs. Panopticon: Max the Middleman quest bugs/observations
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details:
    - There is no blue quest marker for Max after delivering the package to Crispin and being tasked with returning the crumpled note.
    - When searching your pack for the "note" (I need to give Crispin's note to the middleman) it's not labelled in your inventory as a note, but instead searching for 'response' brings up the item name that is in runic? Not sure if that's intended. Also the new auto-add feature for quest turn ins that devilcult added doesn't automatically find the 'response' for you, you need to find it manually.
    - If the prisoners are sleeping, waking them up seems to reduce Courage virtue:
    The Oracle: I have witnessed your actions regarding your journey towards the nature of courage. What I have witnessed in general shows that you consider this virtue important. I have also witnessed the impact of a recent decision you have made: You decided your needs were more important than another's rest. How this will reflect on your exploration of this virtue is up to you.
    - There is no 'completion' Journal Entry after delivering the response to Max - I think there usually is one for most quests - but this could be because it's a repeatable quest, and completing it multiple times could lead to multiple journal entries unless there's a way to just add it the first time you do the repeatable quest?
    - Max the Middleman has no blue compass marker indicating his quest is now available again (next day) -- didn't check overworld, but guessing that needs a quest marker on the scene too.

    Steps to Reproduce: Get the note from crispin, and observe no compass markers for Max to deliver it, and observe name of the item in your inventory. Observe the turn-in window doesn't automatically add the note. Talk to the Oracle after waking the prisoners to talk to them for this quest (need to ask them Name to find Crispin until you find the right prisoner, etc). Check your Knowledge Journal after completing the quest fully.

    Are you sure there's no compass marker? The appearance of the markers are affected by distance. You should see a marker on your compass that's small and faint NNE of Crispin. I can see the marker when I play through this quest.

    It's intended that the reply notes are in Runic. Any book or letter with the main text in Runic also has its title in Runic. The concept here is that the prisoners are "encoding" their responses in the hopes that the notes can't be traced back to the writers.

    The quest item filter not filling in with all cases is a known issue and DevilCult already has a separate bug for that. (However, it's working correctly for me, so either it's a sometimes-bug or it's already fixed.)

    Waking any NPC anywhere in the game will reduce your Love score by a trivial amount. It's not specific to the Obsidian Panopticon.

    Sometimes repeatable quests get a single entry along the lines of "If I come back tomorrow, I can do this again..." when you get to the repeatable stage. I can add one of those to this situation. Issue #69024

    We don't usually add a compass marker when a daily quest is available again. However, there can be a different situation where a daily quest can start with you collecting a loot item, in which case you'll get a compass marker as soon as you collect that item.

    Thanks @Sannio - I will re-verify the compass marker not working for Max. As far as the compass marker for repeatable quests, I am used to seeing an Overworld compass marker on the scene itself indicating there's 'something to do' there, and then within the scene another compass marker to the quest giver - thanks for adding these to this quest also :)

    @Sannio I am seeing a compass marker for "Max" today for the Pernelle iteration of the quest but there is no task listed for it, just the Compass marker "max". I'm pretty sure I did not see them for Crispin or Rannveig - but I will need for the quest to reset to re-verify that.
