Spoiler Answers:

1) You'll need to concoct the remedy using your Herbalism skill. That's where you'll find the list of ingredients needed. Once you've concocted the remedy, feed it to the person on the bed. You cannot simply show up with it or talk to the man next to her.

2) I, too, found out that I'd failed my son. Huh? Wasn't even aware my character had a son!  I assume that entry is in regard to one of the beggars in Dust Town. She complained about the rough life she and her child were having. If I recall, my character lent her a sympathetic ear, gave her some money and suggested she head to the surface. My character never asked about the father, even though the option existed. My character would not pry like that -- too invasive of the poor woman's privacy. Perhaps that was a mistake.

Perhaps the game-writers wrote this quest with a male player-character in mind and assumed that perhaps the player-character was the unknowing father of this child? Result of a slumming one-nighter? That's the only thing I can think of. That said, given that my character is female, the outcome of the quest makes no sense. Even with sever lyrium poisoning, I doubt she'd forget having had a child, thus it would be hard for her to fail a child she didn't know she had. Anyway, I just shrugged it off.

Hope that helps.

Response to 2nd Question with Spoilers:

The son failure refers to the Dwarven Noble quest as far as I can tell. I'm currently in the middle of the quest but if you don't get your son his birthright when choosing a king for orzzamar, I'm assuming that the quest completes and you have failed him.

After you are exiled, your son is made casteless and your...one night stand... asks you to make things right. The quest has nothing to do with the woman in dust town if it's the one I'm describing. If you were a dwarven noble...it appears that you didn't take responsibility after having the threesome with the noble hunters at the beginning of your origin story. Sadly, the ugly one ends up bearing your son.

But, Ghost, that doesn't explain how my female elf Grey Warden, who simply came to Orzzamar to get aid (and ended up solving ALL their problems) failed her son. She was never exiled and, regardless, she never had a son, thus couldn't fail a son. Yet, the quest resolution says something to the effect of "You (player) failed your son..." (I'm not in game right now so I don't have the exact wording).



I still think the quest-writers perhaps assumed a male character and it slipped through Quality Control to make the needed changes to adapt the resolution for female characters.

Probably have to do something specific enough in dialogue to get the you failed your son thingy.. I noticed while playing a dalish that when I got to the alienage everyone acted like my character was from there... I had all sorts of dialogue dealing with things that I had no prior knowledge of.

Many of the codex/journal entries do not match what actually happens in the game. I saved the Arl's entire family and yet the journal entry read that the boy's Mother had made the ultimate sacrifice to save him. I'm only referring to the quest that I know of. This situation must have occurred from the quest option that I mentioned somehow interfering with your game experience.

Also, it DEFINITELY did not seem like 9 months had passed in the game since my dwarf had that threesome. Female dwarves must have a real quick pregnancy.

The failed son entry seems to be listed whether or not you actually had a son. I had a son, did all the right things and even had Harrowmont say that he would take him into his family. I put Harrowmont on the throne, went back to the lady, told her the good news and I still got the failed your son entry into the quest log. That leads me to believe that it is broken, to say the least.

Every character I have run has had this quest added to his log as failed. Whether Dwarf Commoner, Elf or Human. Just can't seem to get around it.
