I’ve run into potentially game breaking bug in the main quest, looking for some advice. I’ve tried completing the steps leading up to this quest both ways just to test it, but I get the same result. Leading up to Nest of Vipers, after I talk to Timmy’s sister and find Timmy (I’ve tried both following Morcock to Timmy and sending Morcock to Rattay), I’m told to report the location of the bandit camp to Sir Radzig.
Issue 1: I’m not given quest marker. At first I thought this was a mechanic since I was never given an exact location, but having seen YouTube videos of people playing, there should be a quest marker on the map. I still have the objective to scout the camp and the optional sabotage objective in my quest journal.
Issue 2: I can’t scout. I can run around the camp to each entrance but my objective never completes. I know the game recognizes I’m in Pribyslatitz since it autosaves as I cross the bridge.
Issue 3: Another thing that tipped me off that something is wrong is that the arrow barrels are already glowing as if I had lit them on fire. I get an interaction prompt with some of the them, but nothing happens.
Issue 4: In both options (tell truth to and deceive Morcock), the bandits and Cumans are squished into a single tent in their respective halves of the camp. They’re immediately hostile, regardless of my agreement with Morcock.
Issue 5: I tried simply slaughtering all the bandits and Cumans in the hopes that I could brute force my way through the bug, but Sir Radzig just tells me to go back and scout, making advancing the quest impossible.
