[BUG] Quest Siege optional objective Herb-Woman potion

After acquiring the quest I went to the Herb-Woman West of Neuhof to trigger the quest. Once triggered I had to bring her all the ingredients for the potion but she didn’t have the dialogue option once I had them all. I reloaded the game brought everything on me and managed to slip through that impasse but after playing a day the quest objective shifted to the main camp where the trebuchet is being built and once I talk to the herbalist (named villager) there’s isn’t a dialogue option about the potion. I went thought all the herbalist listed on various forums and none had the dialogue option to receive the potion. Now my rep is higher than 70 with all of them. I wouldn’t have bothered with this bug but it’s preventing me from activating the trebuchet cut-scene at the camp. Any idea how to work around it? And no, I don’t have an older save since I deleted the other 290 saves before it.
