Bugs?

[Fritzgerald]

I've been reading around and it seems like a really solid game to play. However it seems like some of the biggest issues I've seen voiced are with bugs but I've never seen them mentioned with specifics? Are these bugs game breaking or just minor annoyances or even both.

Never had any 'bugs' when I played. Running Win 10 Pro 64-bit CU and GTX 1080 FE.

There's sometimes a bug where you can't store/drop certain or all the pieces of armor you get from a specific sidequest. But I've only encountered it on the console versions.
But if you're on the fence about getting this game, just get it. You won't be disappointed.

Game seems very solid and well made to me

there are 3 major gamebreaking bugs, first rush the main quest until u meet the king in the summer court, there is a bug that prevents you from further progressing and there is no fix. do not do any side quest until u meet the king at Ysa. Then once you make it to Mel Shenshir do the main quest until you have the quest to destroy the 3 crystal looking structures. if u destroy them before the main quest it wil lbreak the game

Can't do any side quests at all? Not even in the starting area?

Given how the game is structured, it'd be impossible to trigger this unless you're trying to do a speed run.

There is another thread by someone who recently finished the game
They give some good advice for new players and others chime in
None of them mention the issues of bugs mentioned above
So I would consider that before you follow the advice given above

I've spent over a 1000 hours in this game playing on Origin and then on Steam. When you first play thru it, I suggest playing the main story first. I have had a few situations while doing a quest when I found that it tied to another quest that I hadn't done and therefore couldn't complete the one I was working on till I finished the first one. In some cases, quests won't even show up if you've not done the first quest first. There are so many quests that's it easy to be going along thinking I'm up to date then running into a npc that hands you a quest "out of the blue" that you didn't even know about. I''ve also, while doing side quests, had the main story quest shoved right under my nose when I didn't expect it.(Example meet Agar in Dalech while trying to complete a quest in ettenmore.) My experience as been there are one or two places where you do have time limits on getting something done but those are far and few between and I have failed quests that I didn't get back to in time. Not many but a few. I've also found myself forgetting about quests that I had started but got side tracked on along the way. As far as bugs, I've had the stuck npc bug but it normally solves itself. I have gotten stuck once of twice myself and had to reload my game to get out. I've also noted that after you complete a quest the game will place the main game story back uder your nose as the "default next quest" if you make no selection under the Quest menu. What gets me sometimes is trying to choose a quest if you've agreed to do to many as you go along. I suggest taking a few then getting those out of the way before agreeing to a whole bunch and finding yourself running all over the place trying to get them done. Also this approach helps keep you from having a Main Quest dropped in your lap on a sub quest and also levels you up a bit too.

When doing the commendation quest I have been stopped by a major bug that make the quest unfinishable. I had allready defeated Osgar before so I knew where to go and get his dagger. His loot is still in the camp but when I am in front of it I can't loot it thus I won't be able to finish the quest.
