Cannot get rid of the exclamation point over Wylls head

[Revolver]

A few days ago I have run into what seems to be a persistent glitch. Tracing it back I had completed the entirety of the underdark in act 1, then doubled back and cleared the mountain pass before act two. While in the mountain pass I found information relevant to Wylls companion quest (trying to stay as spoiler free as possible). The problem is said information was already discovered in the underdark.

Now no matter how often I talk to him the exclamation point remains on his head despite the fact he has nothing new to say. I tried removing him from the party for a while and at the time that seemed to clear it, however bringing him back to the party it has popped back up again. Obviously the simplest answer would be to simply keep him in camp, however I am approaching a story point relevant to him so I would prefer to keep him around. Its just this exclamation point is both driving me nuts and I worry it may trigger some glitch later on when he DOSE have something relevant to say. By this point i am 12 hrs in from when this started so going back isn't an option until i have no choice.

Has anyone else encountered this on Wyll or other characters?

Not something I've experienced myself, hopefully somebody has a fix for you. But send a bug report to Larian that includes your save-game, so that they can fix it.

I appreciate that and I already have, however I am sure they have their hands full with plenty of other bugs to squash, so with no time table on a fix I was hoping someone may have thought of something I didn't. My main concern is that it would be something progress blocking.

mine got bugged like that as well on wyll, I don't think it means you're missing an event its just stuck there like many quest things in this game can get stuck atm and will probably clear when you do his next story event, but I could be wrong. For reference I saved karlach in my game and they became friends with all that you know happens from that, I am supposed to go to the moon tower next to try to help him out.

Had this happen to me.
Chances are you missed talking to him at the druid party, at least I'm certain that's the part I missed.
The game will 'catch up' in act 2, but it's going to blast you with all of his story all at the same time. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Thanks for the replys to the both of you. I am certain I talked to him at the party because I had to do that particular event twice (accidentally progressed the halsin romance reloaded to shut it down lol). I'm 100% certain my issue began when I found the same info about his father in the mountain pass after having already found it in the UD. However I think you are both right in that I likely just have to play it out and the game will just 'catch up' with itself

I have this too. Just before entering Act 2 :/

I think it may be related to a specific note on some skeleton, not sure where exactly but it was mentioned elsewhere. Would have to find the post on it again.

Yeah I had this same thing happen with Gale. He wouldn't talk to me despite having the exclamation over his head and just ran around like a sawed off hunchback because he needed to absorb a magic item. Luckily he did eventually give in and talk to me and it was resolved but yeah for about a day I was starting to think that I'd have to kick him to the curb and go with the hireling (Fuzzlebutt or whatever his name is)

That is exactly where it triggered for me, a note related to wylls quest off a skeleton. The only thing that stands out is that I already had this information before picking up the note.

Happens in the same exact place, note near 2 Shepherds of the dead, conversation seems to be bugged at the moment, because I did have every other event of his in act 1, I loaded prior save and let it be there, went back into shadowlands to check if any other event happens that could fix it, but it doesn't seem so to work either.

I have those on two characters already, wyll and gale. I’ve literally put one of them in camp for that reason but then it happened again.

[grape cough syrup]

Yeah Wyll's exclamation mark does not disappear for me either

[Revolver]

Well one thing Im glad for is that this isnt an isolated incident. Which means quite a few of us have sent in reports, hopefully its begnin and will get cleared up in the next hotfix or two.

Having the same Problem as you. I was already in act 2 at the shadowlands and found a way that leads to the mountain pass. I knew it was not necessary but i was interested to go there. Found the Information which i already had and the exclamation mark popped up and doesn't go away anymore. No dealbreaker but annoying.
