tadpoling centre (bug?)

[EvilShuckle]

I arrived at mindflayer's lair or whatever the area is called. I went through it and killed everything I ran into. As I arrived at the area where you fight the boss(es) I realised I hadn't opened the pods in the tadpoling centre. I figured I could do that after the fight, so I did.

After the fight I went back to the tadpoling centre and then interacted with the neural apparatus. A cutscene appeared, mentioning I could choose to open them, but that'd also mean I'd have to deal with some unwanted creatures. I choice to release.

The cutscene ended, some questlines popped up, showing stuff had happened to it but... well. Then it ended. Nothing happened. Nothing actually came out of the pods (even though they were in the pods during the cutscene) and now... well. am I screwed? Is it because I killed the boss before? Is it a bug? Do I have to do the fight again or am I just screwed now and can't I finish the side quests? (Because, as I checked the quests, it seems the only thing that progressed was Mol having left).

There are no creatuers, no bodies... nothing. Just empty pods.

I solved the issue by going back to an earlier save, before the boss. Now I have to do the boss again. Sigh
