Promise of Destruction not starting
So I have done the unfinished business and book quests and her approval rating is 125 and i spoke to Stroud for the first time. According to the wiki, that should be enough to start the cut scene for...

According to the Wiki link above, you have to have talked to Cass in Skyhold, along with Hawke and the Warden at Crestwood before the quest will trigger. It doesn't say you have to complete the quest Here Lies the Abyss, and it has been a few years since I went all the way through DAI, so I can't remember how far along it is. Personally, I would complete Here Lies the Abyss and then try again....sometimes it takes flags a bit of time to respond to the triggers.... Also, have you done the wartable quest, find the seekers??
Also you may want to repair your game files, and disable any mods if you are using them if it is still giving issues.
I thought the War Table quest, Find the Seekers comes from Promise of Destruction so that is a definite no. I will definitely look into that right now. Also, I will do Here Lies the Abyss. That's a good idea, I just didn't want to get too far ahead and mess something up lol. Speaking of flags, I am more than a little confused with the some of the flags with integers in the Save Game Editor. I just use it to look and see if things are screwed up, in other words turned on or off when they should be but in some cases such as DAI_Cassandra_Book, I am guessing that is for (trying Not to spoil) be about a personal Cassandra quest concerning Varric. In logic terms, normally, 0 means Off and 1 means On. Mine says 0 but I finished that quest early yesterday, many hours before I wrote about the Promise of Destruction not starting topic so I wonder if that flag never got tripped to on for whatever reason. DAI_Cassandra_Approval is also at 0, as is Rebuild_Seekers (which I figure is an option at the end of the Promise of Destruction completion. There is no other DAI_Cassandra listed. At the same time what really makes things confusing is that in some cases there is a TRUE or FALSE option. Why in the world, is there an Integer value needed for so many of these edits lol. That seems to indicate that there is more than two options for completion, but I can't find a list of the integer values (ie what they stand for Anywhere). Basically, DAI_Cassandra_Book 0 *Could mean that the book quest was completed if 0 meant completed and 1 meant not completed but where Anywhere does anything give a clue as to whether that's true? I'm not mad, I like a good puzzle and I'm actually smiling right now and laughing about it but it would be nice to get confirmation of what these things mean. Just in order to read the save game file correctly.
