So yesterday i found a new bug in the ‘Needle in a Haystack’ Quest. don’t know if it has been mentioned before.
First i skip the tour and rush to do my deeds, stealing all the stuff i can find, buy a lockpick, get a weapon exhaust all conversations, which then enables the important poison trigger after talking to Antonius and revealing your plan to him. i can dodge the overseers so i don’t get any strike,s yet… I continue by going to bed. waking up too late at, missing the prayer, when i get down the stairs the monks are on their way to the the supper, the overseers are last so i can dodge em again. I rush straight to my seat and start eating, which when you eat for long enough triggers the next part of the quest. During that event the overseers stop by and gives me all 3 infractions at once and also finding the weapon on me, thus kicking me out instantly. I think they only need to find the weapon to instantly kick you out.
(I was caught too early one time so henry didn’t take a bite and thus not getting poisoned, and the ‘Needle in a Haystack’ failed as well)
Now i get kicked out, failing the monastary q, still poisoned, i succumb as scripted q event and start the next step even though i should have failed it and spawn next to Antonius in the sleeping hall, making ‘the deal’ even though the quest is supposed to be done when you are a novice still, but now i can finish it as a ‘Free Man’. Now that the Monastary is a restricted area, so i have to avoid contact and reset wanted state to not alert the guards making it more difficult. I get him the stuff and finish the q. I had to pay a 30 Groschen fine for trespassing, but no other infractions, no reputation loss.
For many this Quest is a pure Tedium, so i wanted to find a way to finish it quickly, this ‘Bug’ happened by accident.
Thank for reading!
