So I got a quest to steal a guild seal from someone and take it to the “vagabond” in Rattay…well hes locked up in the stockade and has been for quite some time now. Anyone know whats going on here? Will he be released or am I fudged? I can talk to him but I can’t get my quest dialogue to come up; and now I have a quest item in my inventory I cannot get rid of
I have the same issue.I think it’s gonna be fixed in 1.3 from what I read.

Like, its funny cuz he’s paying us to get into mischief so he’s probably a pretty shady character too but they should probably release him now lol

Yeah lol he’s been in the stocks for about maybe 2 or so in-game weeks for me. I’m gonna guess he got caught with his hand in Sir Hanush’s pocket or something lmao

I was kind of hoping they would release him and there would be funny dialogue or if you could break him out but nope…just dialogue that you don’t need. Gonna start a fresh play through anyway so when I find that guy I’m going to rush through his quest line to see if I can finish it before he gets locked up; if it’s possible
He’s in the pillary in my game too and has been there for a few in game weeks. Can talk to him but not hand the item in (understandably I suppose). Unfortunately there’s no indication or reference of why he’s there.
I’ve played the game since release and he was never there once, so I’m guessing that this is one of those things the developers mentioned about our actions having side effects in the game.
So…he ended up in the pillary a day after I handed in the widows ring. I was sent to go get the guild seal which was obtained away from Rattay, came back…He’s in the pillary. I’m guessing it’s because I took part in that quest that he’s probably been caught with the stolen goods I gave him. When I didn’t steal for him, he never once ended up there…other unnamed townspeople did, not him.
Unlike other townspeople in the pillary, he doesn’t beg for water either.
As it’s a side quest/activity, I’m not too worried at this stage.

well, if he gets locked up for him helping/you helping him/him getting stolen goods from you via the fact his missions require you to get stolen goods, which in turn become quest items that you cannot wash of stolen status(unless you have to wait a long time and then give them to him) then t his quest line is stupid…why would/should he get locked up permanently during a quest line that requires you to steal stuff and give it to him?
I’m gonna mess around with this and see if I can get the quest line completed
Maybe he’d be locked up for being seen giving the widow the ring that previously had been taken from Wolfram? Maybe Wolfram saw the widow with the ring, confronted and threatened her and she told him vagabond gave her it? I don’t know as the quest has no further progression. I think it’s a bug he’s permantly in there at this stage, but I’m guessing he’s definitely in the pillary because of my actions in stealing for him, lol. Sure we’ll find out eventually lol.
I wonder if I’d stopped just after stealing money and refused to get the ring if he’d still end up in the pillary? How far did everybody else get before he ended up there? Did he only end there after the ring quest or is it different for everyone?
Even though he’s still stuck in the stockade, you can now talk to the Vagabond (since patch 1.3) and “complete” the quest. However, the Guild Signet doesn’t get removed from your inventory and despite the fact that the Vagabond recommends selling the item to one of the Millers, this is not possible (it doesn’t display as an item for sale when interacting with either Miller). While I’m glad you can now “complete” the quest and get it cleared from the quest log, it seems like a pretty poor “fix” to simply stick in some dialog, not get paid for the item, have it stuck in your inventory and be advised to sell it to NPCs who cannot/will not buy it.
Same thing here ! Can’t sell the damn seal ! but the quest is complete…
