[[Quest Stages Tab|It is second tab]] in the Quest Window. You can find here the Log Entries for each Index and Result Scripts. There are also two very useful checkboxes: Complete Quest and Fail Quest. But let's start from the beginning.  

In Oblivion the Log Entries was used to make Player's journal updates, when Player made some progress in the quests. In Fallout 3 there is no journal, only quest objectives with some information about current quest status and quest targets. It means, that you can put in Log Entry whatever you, it will not be displayed to Player in the game. In general:

First fill in the list of Indexes by right clicking in the list and choosing New. Index numbers are the same as in Quest Objectives: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 200 and on the end I add 210 as a final quest stage, so I also check in the Complete Quest checkbox. For each of stages, except #0, I right click on the list of Log Entries and add an EMPTY text.  

For each quest stage I want to display a message about objectives to Player. To show current objective I can use [[SetObjectiveDisplayed]] script function, and [[SetObjectiveCompleted]] to show that previous objective is completed.  I can do it with by adding them to the Result Script of each stage – this is full list:

{| {{table}}

| 20||SetObjectiveCompleted aBHQuest 10 1<br>

| 30||SetObjectiveCompleted aBHQuest 20 1

|  ||SetObjectiveDisplayed aBHQuest 30 1

| 200||SetObjectiveCompleted aBHQuest 200 1

|  ||SetStage aBHQuest 210

Remember to compile each result script by clicking on the '''Compile Result''' button, just after adding it to the stage.
