I don't think that's the right data. The error you sent says the QuestDescription starts "As Erika fell asleep...".

Looks like you're missing a comma at the end of the Stage3 line.

'5. You MUST start a new save. Otherwise, your game will crash when you try to open the UI.'

You actually don't. I tested it myself

Hey, me again after a long break! Anyway to update the quest's description as the stages progress? I might be dumb but I cant figure it out :P Feel like I can somehow add it to the script but I am clueless.

Yes, that's possible. I think the easiest solution is to add a new field into 004_Quest_Data.rb that's QuestDescriptionX for StageX. For example:
Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy 
Quest1 = {
  :Stage1 => "A",
  :QuestDescription1 => "B",
  :Stage2 => "C",
  :QuestDescription2 => "D"
}
We then need to get the game to recognise this change. Open 002_Quest_Main.rb and find def getQuestDescription. Change the entire method to this:
Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy 
def getQuestDescription(quest,stage)
  stg = ("QuestDescription" + "#{stage}").to_sym
  return "#{QuestModule.const_get(quest)[stg]}"
end
Be careful here since now all quests will need as many QuestDescription fields as there are stages. You could add a check for that if you wanted.
Finally, I think you'll need to change line 240 of 003_Quest_UI.rb to this:
Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy 
questDesc = "<c2=#{colorQuest("blue")}>Overview:</c2> #{$quest_data.getQuestDescription(quest.id,quest.stage)}"

Most likely missing quotes and commas again. Share your quest data for this quest.

I believe this is controlled when you activate the quest:
activateQuest(quest,color=colorQuest(nil),story=false)
The second argument specifies the colour (it's grey by default).
For example, if you wanted the text to be white, you would do:
activateQuest(:Quest1,colorQuest("white"))

If you want to see all the currently accepted colours or if you want to change the default colour from grey to, say, white, then you should look at the colorQuest method at the bottom of 001_Quest_Config.rb.
