Massive Bug with Mol and Druid Encampment

[Arthain]

This... I don't get what's going on anymore. This bug is really pissing me off. There was a child being confronted for stealing an amulet. I simply didn't do anything, but after the dude got his amulet back, I supported the child and allowed them to get away and got the dude knocked on his ass.

I also saved boy on the beach and rescued the girl from the druids. So overall I'd done enough to earn the kids trust.

Mol though? Apparently she HATES me because I simply didn't do anything earlier despite helping the child get away? Despite saving the lives of two others? What's more, she's spreading rumors about me. Rumors even AFTER I convinced her I meant no harm and wasn't going to bother her or the other children again.

I got confronted by this guy, used deception to convince him I'd never seen children, and got past. Then IMMEDIATELY afterwards he just turns to one of my companions and confronts them the exact same way.

It's like? What the hell? Not only did I convince Mol that I'm NOT a problem and to leave me alone. I also convinced the guard too, and yet this is all still happening? I'm about to just slaughter the entire damn camp and be done with it.

I've encountered this same bug, unfortunately. I stopped the thief from pick-pocketing me, saved the boy from the harpies and Arabella, but Mol treated me like a pariah. I left and did a few missions for a few hours, came back and peacefully confronted Kagha, went to go tell Zelvor the good news and... bam. Guards want me dead.

If anyone has a solution, would love to hear it! I'd really hate to backtrack all those hours.

I think I've resolved it, seems like the guards cared about Shadowheart and Gale so I had to pass two difficult 20 checks. Just savescummed until I passed both and then was left alone including after the campfire party.

That sucked but it's better than starting again!

Interesting to see how much is wrong with that character. I simply can't interact with Mol even though my quest says I should talk to her...

i saved the kid on the beach and then he had nothing to say, was that a bug?

Talked to kid vendor. Caught the pickpocket kid and was nice to her, followed her to Mol Lair. Turned myself into a dwarf with disguise spell and entered lair same way as girl. Talked to Mol and she was nice to me and gave me the Idol quest. Then I invested 20 into her thieves guild.

Then I went on to the beach, the amulet scene and the saving Arabella kid. All worked as intended.

The EXACT same thing happened to me except it's been 13 long hours since then and the save file no longer exists (so I'd have to restart the game). I can't get into the village to talk to Halsin without incurring the wrath of the guards (and the only option is to attack) - I'm doing a good playthrough and really like the village... At this point I'm just going to pick the game back up in a few months when I'm ready to start all over again. I'm seriously pissed.

It has to be a bug though, right? If not, I guess what would turn them against you is stopping the kid from robbing you? It seemed like a totally neutral response to me.

These massive consequences for extremely minor actions are not at all realistic and just take away from the immersion and fun. I mean seriously, because I stopped the kid, to progress I would have to murder the entire village? It makes you feel the need to play the game with a bloody step-by-step guide.

Dude, thanks so much. I was about to quit. That worked. I can talk to the guards again without issue. Just run whichever companion it's having issue with past the guards (likely shadowheart and gale, and your own character) and savescum until you pass the D20.

It's my first time playing a game like this, I took my time, tried to learn. I was not about to lose 10 hours of progress over something dumb like that.

I get the whole "your actions have consequences" thing but massaccarring the entire grove just because you caught a kid pick-pocketing you? That's a bit extreme.

yeah mol is easy to bug apparently. i can't talk to her at all , cant click on her or anything.
she just wanders the cave with over head text. /shrug

i was hoping not to encounter bugs in act1.. the only act that has been playtested a whole lot... not looking good for the future lol

I've been having a rather strange bug with the pickpocket. The first time I talked to them, I caught the pickpocket like normal, but the game crashed at the cutscene with the tiefling parents and the bear druid. So when I reloaded, I succeeded the perception check again, but this time it didn't catch the pickpocket despite succeeding the roll. I've reloaded like 20 times and I seem to just be stuck like this. Weird bug for sure.

Same issue as OP. Would seem to be a bug.

[darth.crevette]

What's that about an amulet? That might be what I'm missing for that Mol quest...

[Budnick]

So I had this happen to me. I passed the check. Use guidance to help if needed. If the guard talks to another party member switch to a different character. I cased a buff on the character in conversation. Then when I switched back they went out of conversation. No roll needed. Hope this helps

Edit. So I tested this some more. If the guard talks to every party member what you need to do is approach him with any party member except for the one you want to do the dice roll. Once he talk to one person, switch to another and approach him. He will end conversation and start it with the one you are controlling. Keep dong it until you're the last person in the party. The one who has the best chance at winning the roll. After that you can walk freely.

Same issue

Heroic Paladin with Oath of Devotion here
Killed 2 out of 3 Goblin Camp Leaders and freed Halsin who is chilling the dungeon but decided to purse some other quests in the meantime again
Did the swamp and went back to the refugees afterwards and i wondered if talking to Mol again might clear her quest which it actually did
After wards i did the Shadow Druids and as next step i have to report to the refugee leader
While my Paladin can easily clear the check by herself and Shadowheart's Guidance, the whole freaking party has to clear it too

Simply surrendering doesn't work either because the Thieflings instantly aggro instead of triggering the next accused dialogue

I know it is likely a bug, but jeez, these npcs are very ungrateful from the current point of view of my party

Same issue, need a fix.
