Anyone else getting weird problems with quest items since this morning's update?

[ahsanford]

I'm in Myconid Village mid/late Act I and at least two quests are borked that involve an item changing hands:

There is no dialogue to give the noblestalk to anyone -- derryth, baelen or Shad. It's in my bag. Derryth literally tells me to keep an eye out for one and I can't give it to her.

Details on this one here (read the thread, it's not Shad related -- I can't even turn it in without the Shad option):

For the second one, I complete the Omeluum mushroom hunt, complete the ceremony/process and get the ring of mind shielding from him. But the quest stays open in my log, says 'get the ring from Omeluum' even though it's in my bag. And when I talk to him, he still asks what I will offer for it (minus whatever option I chose to get it from him the first time).

What's going on? Update problem or something else?

I honestly would recommend pinning one big mega thread on this.

The bottom line is most if not all quest items are borked post Hotfix 16, this can affect opening many doors, and turning in or using many quest items. People can post workarounds and I see some are starting to go around, but many things may be borked until Hotfix 16a.

Similar issue here with the Spear of Night. Seems like the hotfix broke quest items

Works better after reinstalling for me

I have a bug with the cursed monk amulet, I'm at the grandaughter tumb with the amulet equiped but the game thinks I still need to retrive it and the quest doesn't progress.

And before I was unable to feed the raptor at the circus, i had meat in the inventory but conversation only gives me the "i have no food" line

I am concerned that I’ll be blocked on, well, anything requires an item for quest advancement.

Can I roll back this morning’s hotfix?

I feel as though the change to quest items that lets you use them in quests even if they are in your chest broke them.
Guess I won't be playing till this is fixed.

Looks like larian decided to go bethesda

[ahsanford]

Yeah, so it looks like this is waaaay more than just my Myconid Colony turn-ins. Wow:

That's a bit involved, and I made a lot of exploration / combat progress today that is not quest item related. I assume rolling back will be a stable build, but I'll lose today's progress as today's save probably won't open with the older rev of the game, yeah?

Hmm... Might need to catch up on some TV while Larian burns the midnight oil saving a lot of people's playthroughs.

So ... I am entirely curious. If this is what people think it might be ... post-hotfix 16 ...

Anybody who's having trouble handing in orange quest items (noblestalk, door opening items, shar spear, netherstones, etc., etc.) ...

a) are any of you on PS5 or Xbox?
b) are any of you on PC with unmodded saves?

If that's so, it's not what some folks are thinking, but ...

It's DEF looking like it's mods .... and, it MAY even be specifically ...

c) are all of you experiencing this bug using Party Limit Begone Legacy version?

On the reddit thread discussing this bug, a lot of people are pointing to that, although it looks like one person said they're on PS5 and another person said the only mod they had was a hairstyle mod.

SO: if it's PLB Legacy, ironically, this might just hit me in 2 weeks, LOL, unless in that time interval Larian does something on their end. More likely there will be an update to PLB Legacy in that time.

Now what's totally out of the blue -- some folks are saying not only are orange quest items not working, but that they can't use the shovels in their inventory to dig up anything, and shovels are not quest items. So that's just bizarre.

[ahsanford]

Solved for me. I just turned off all my mods -- everything is perfectly fine again.

I know it's the first thing to try, but I just couldn't connect how a few QOL mods, a wider hotbar, etc. would break how inventory works.

Worked for me.

Folks saying they are starting new games, even with mods, are seeing no issue. The issue appears to only be with existing saves.

[seeker1]

Just to update my post above, "A" says he is not using PLB - Legacy version, so that's not it, but disabling all mods made the issue go away.

Yep. Mods are causing the problem. Now here comes the inevitable hunt for which one(s) are the culprit. If you can disable them all (I can't), see if that fixes the problem for you.

Same here spear of night and infernal iron not registering in the inventory
