As I’ve been progressing through the quest. Strange things have happened. From intimidating the charcoal burners to find the whereabouts of Ginger have not progressed the quest at all even when one of the charcoal burners tells the whereabouts of Ginger. The only way to progress the quest is by talking to Captain Bernard and talking to him about going down to see them. Now, currently I have done everything for Ginger. I have talked to the townspeople of Neuhof and they have accepted him back however, the quest says to, “Go and tell Captain Bernard what you found out from Ginger.” but Bernard is a lifeless statue in the woods that has his “Talk” option completely grayed out. Bernard also came with 2 other soldiers if I remember correctly and they have completely vanished. I am unable to interact with him at all and he just stands there. I have tried everything from reloading to quitting the game. I am currently stuck and completely demotivated from playing the game because of this.
try commiting a crime. try pickpocketting nearby people until the fat fuck moves. i have to do this everytime since the beef with wolfin (idk if u had that missions yet). will hurt reputation though mine got to 16 in rattay due to this
