I have killed all three of the bandits and Reeky is there alive, hurt, but alive. There is the E button showing but nothing happens. I can kill Reeky but this also does not complete the quest or advance the story. Any ideas on what I should do? I think it’s a bug as there is a similar thread as this one but that player had not killed the bandits and perhaps that’s why Reeky would not talk?
Wishes
maybe he is in a comma . I would advise seeking medical help .
Saying that maybe he is simply in severe shock due to the events that he had witnessed with these bandits . sit him down and give him some water or a cup of tea and possibly a gift in the pastry nature .
most importantly be patient im sure he will come round .
Hahaha sadly enough I’ve tried that…well no tea or scrumptious pastry as I only had stale carrots.
You dont really have to talk to Reeky after the fight with bandits.
The quest is already leading you somewhere else.
Still its strange that he wont talk to you. IF he has his weapon still out you have to wait for him to sheath it.
Where does the quest lead you? It says the quest is still uncompleted, although, in the text it says that I did find Reeky, etc. but does not tell me to go anywhere in particular.
It should lead you to the windmill on the hill between Talmberk and Merhojed.
After you talk with Reeky and ask him about his band, Timmy and Pious you should have the quest “A breath of fresh air” which should tell you this:
Ive never had him talk to me again after the fight.
If it takes more then a few in game hours, hes usually dead by then 
.
Yes don’t have this but have killed all the bandits and Reeky is alive but will not talk so I guess the quest chain will not start. I’m going to test it again by starting over and doing the quest very fast to see if that is the issue. Maybe he’s just too beaten to hell to talk. I’ll update here.
you dont need to talk to Reeky after the fight to be able to continue the game. Or at least you shouldnt need to. Because Reeky can die.
All you need to know he already tells you before the fight.
if you want to do it really fast, just go immediately to the cave, you dont need to talk to the other NPCs.
Will do. But when you go into the cave do you not automatically get attacked by the bandits or is that only after they have beaten up Reeky?
How it should work is: When you get to the cave, a cinematic is triggered, then you talk with Reeky. When you are done you are attacked by bandits.
If you come too late, Reeky can either:
In first scenario you will still be able to get some info from Reeky
In second scenarion, I am not entirely sure.
If you go to the cave immediately the bandits arrive after you talk to reeky.
Yes got to cave first this time and cut scene, etc. happened. The bug here is when you get there too late then Reeky just sits there injured and the quest log does not progress. Sure they are aware of it if not hopefully this thread will shed some light.
There are several options with Reeky
Problem as I see it is that the quest is not completely finished in the Beta, so there are some lose ends.
Option 2 and 3 would not work for me and I simulated both, however, option 3 worked. I think you’re right they need to tie up the loose ends on the other two ways to move the quest forward.
