Playing with The Devil Side Quest (Minor Spoiler)

[bamsmacked88]

So… I was investigating witchery and I had to follow 3 women into the woods where they all put on this ointment sold by a herbalist that makes you hallucinate…

The in game quest log said to not disturb their ritual but I guess I got to close and it failed.

However… A cut scene happened and I guess they thought I was the devil and were asking you to deliever them from the Cumans or make them rich and they will do anything you want – meanwhile they are touching you getting the ointment all over your body and it causes Henry to hallucinate… Henry wakes up to see them as animals, a horse and a boar.

So eventually you have to cavort with them and I kid you not… Legit started lock picking the horses ass… Soon after 2 devil looking things ran in started attacking us and I killed them. Woke up next day and they were bandits.

Was a fun time.

I really hate the current outcome of this side quest. You can either help the women and kill the woodcutters, or you stand aside and let the women be killed. Both ways are not satisfying, you will get blamed by the priest and the herbalist, no matter what you choose.
Both of them hint at that you could have solved the conflict by diplomatic means, but it seems that there’s no way you can talk with the woodcutters and solve it peacefully.

How are we supposed to end that quest without bloodshed?

[bamsmacked88]

Ahh I dunno.

So they catch you no matter how far you stay away ?

No, you don’t necessarily have to “cavort” with them. If you stay in cover and just keep watching the scene, the “demons”/woodcutters aka bandits will show up and attack the women.
Which is kind of illogical because you never had contact with that ominous ointment then, but the guys will still appear like “demons”.

I guess there should be another alternative to solve that quest but maybe it’s bugged.

agree, it looks like a semi-finished quest with many logical error

I actually managed to keep the women alive by making both woodsmen yield, disarming them and letting them go. Guess what? The game broke. The women would just stay near the campfire. The men kept re-appearing and running off again. And the only way to ‘break the loop’ is by leaving - the game then counts this outcome as if you just let the woodsmen kill the women. Very disappointing.
