Bug with the drinking monks : Nasty Habits

Hi everyone !

I’m currently in the main quest “A needle in a haysack” at the monastery. There is an investigation available at night where you need to sneak into the cellar to discover drinking monks (“Nasty Habits” side quest).
At night I crouch and sneak into the cellar to discover the circator (aka “the punisher”) and a friend drinking. It triggers a cutscene where they invite me not to rat on them and offer me to sit with them. The bug appears shortly after I accept to drink (it starts a quest), if I stay still or sit or crouch again or try to talk with them, the punisher stands immediatly and wants to put me in jail.

I tried several times (and noticed that if I arrive without sneaking it triggers the jail option = seems fair) and never managed to trigger the drinking/talking/befriending with the monks.

Does anyone experienced that bug and found a workaround ?
(Just don’t spoil the main quest in your answers please :smiley: )
Thx !

I can confirm it. Happens exactly as you’ve described, you join them and then they “catch” you.
And no, I don’t know of a workaround. Sorry.

I have the same problem. That drunkard wants me in a jail no matter what I have in inventory.
Seems to that people do not have this error so much. But pls fix.

Yup same problem! Can’t continue with the game now :disappointed_relieved:
