SPOILERS: Question regarding act 3

[3 am]

In act 3, I killed Gortash first and agreed with Orin I would go there after killing Gortash.

I went to Orin but she still thinks Gortash is alive. This is definetely a bug, but did it happen to you as well?

[Spiral_Architect]

1) Do you have Gortash's Netherstone? In play through's I have done in this order, her first comment has always been she senses it and is how she becomes first aware that he is dead.

[3 am]

Yes I have it in the inventory

[Spiral_Architect]

Okay. In order to do these checks you will need to return to the wayshrine just outside the Temple. You can force his death by taking a long rest or return to the scene to check should he be unconscious rather than dead. Some attacks, such as topple, are non lethal or you left your melee attacks as non lethal for a valid reason during the same game session.

[3 am]

I am there right now checking. He is dead. I read that you could use 'Speak with the death' on him, but in my case the corpse is 'too damaged'. Can this be the explanation somehow? I do not see anything else.

I also did a long rest and tried again and it does not work. I also tried to pick Gortash to my inventory and does not work.

[Spiral_Architect]

You can attempt to validate the game files. And return to a save post his defeat. and prior to encountering Orin. There is an auto save at the Temple entrance that should be there for this. If that fails to correct it, you would have to return to a save prior to killing Gortash unfortunately. Is this an Honor campaign?

[3 am]

Not a Honor campaign, I have save files prior to Gortash's death so that I can kill him again but I have done 6 hours of content after killing Gortash. I have defeated him again now and used 'Speak with death' on him, and there is no voice over, another bug discovered... I saw some videos now and it is happening the same regarding this matter. Concerning my issue itself, I did not find anything

[3 am]

I guess I will just pass the deception check and say he is dead anyway. But I would love to see the real dialogue...

[Sentient_Toaster]

Did this recently and didn't run into that issue, fwiw.

Killed Gortash, took his hand and netherstone; took a long rest; went to the Tribunal and played "who's the better killer" with them; then made haste and went to the Temple.

She wasn't thrilled that I murdered the Murder Tribunal, but she had no problems recognizing that Gortash was, indeed, dead.

[3 am]

I did the same. I killed Gortash, killed the Tribunal, and went to Orin.

1. Gortash body was too damaged (I almost one-shot him essentially - with sorcerer with two arcane batteries dual wielding he melts). I do not think this has something to do with it.

2. I saw the gloves (gauntlets (?)) were very good for my monk, so instead of looting them, I sent them directly to the monk. Strangely enough, it does not trigger the cutscene with the elder brain and the Netherstone does not get removed from the gauntlets. However, I went to camp and sent the gauntlets to my main character, and the cutscene triggered while I was in the camp xD

I do not know if this has something to do with it. Maybe the fact I sent the gloves to my monk directly (the monk was at the camp) and the cutscene triggered only later it messed the code somehow?
