Hi there,
I have encountered what appears to be the infamous “Talmberg bug”, although it seems from what i read people have mostly troubles getting out of Talmberg because of a gate bug, rather than getting back in (as I do) provided they’ve managed to get out “the proper way” in the 1st place . I’m playing the 1.6 version of the game on PC.
During the Run! quest, I managed to get out of Talmberg by talking to Radim, stealing the Talmberg armor, getting back to Radim and riding my way out through the gates as normal. I didn’t have any issue with the gate not opening at this point.
However, looking to return to Talmberg’s Castle to complete Miller Woyzek’s and Lady Stephanie’s side-quests, I arrived only to see the gate was closed. Impossible to enter.
Reading the forum and searching online, I found out the bug is apparently not yet resolved so the only solutions appear to be either get in jail (annoying because of all my stolen items) or trying to jump on the bridge between the castle and the fortified village. The latter I couldn’t do since the game prevents me from approaching the bridge closely enough (there seems to be an invisible wall preventing me from reaching the bridge). I’ve tried jumping in all directions but it wouldn’t work.
So I went to jail and managed to get back inside. There, walking the patrolling path, I noticed one guard (I guess it is the one who is supposedly opening the gate from above when ordered by Radim) is partially glitched. He stays frozen and doesn’t move. When I try to wait a couple hours and check back on him, he appears somewhere else on his patrolling path, but he is still frozen. Maybe the issue comes from him, but if it it does, I don’t understand why I was able to leave Talmberg on horse without any issue in the 1st place.
Has any PC player had any similar issue ? Would greatly appreciate your input and help on this. This is no small bug as it seems Talmberg is essential to the main story (I’ve tried to avoid spoilers since I’m still at an early stage in the game). Thxs a lot for your help !
Cheers,
