High Isle main quest ending assumes some side quests have also ended

I just finished the last High Isle main quest, which ends at Gonfalon Castle. While in the crowd of various NPCs that were in the main quest, and some who weren't, I spoke to Lady Clarisse Laurent (a real social butterfly, that one). What I found a bit jarring and disappointing is that she thanked me for saving her from the curse of All-Flags Islet - the only problem with that is that I haven't done that particular side quest yet.

Please, ZOS quest-writers: can you pay more attention to these details, and give alternate dialog for NPCs depending on which main/side quests you've done with them? I can understand the interactions between quests can get a bit messy and complicated given how many chapters are now in the game, but the above example relates to 2 quests in the same chapter and zone.

    No, I only did the High Isle main quest on my main character, and I did Isobel's companion quests on 1 other character. These companion quests have nothing to do with the Lady Laurent quest.

    figured i would ask and at least rule out that being a problem, it sounds like its more an oversight on the high isle epilogue itself then

    it might make sense to report it as a bug still if its referencing things you didnt actually do in the epilogue quest

    See now, there's supposed to be the crowd of NPCs that you helped for sidequests...if you did them. Not by default. That's a failed dev opportunity imo.
