also, if you choose not to drink with father godwin and get info on reeky with the help of the scribe you will be unable to read the black chronicle yourself. you will read it but nothing will happen, no new quests etc. you can even go to reeky’s cave and he wont be there. you have to get the scribe to read it
yes, or so it seems. it could just be a bug on hardcore though, havent played this part of the game on normal since the last patch
