cant get Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders and Investigate the Murders quests

[Kyblik81]

3 days ago i began exploring Rivington, running around and talking to every one. sometimes i walk in somewhere and reload to do it later. i jump to the well where you have to get perception check. if i not mistaken and remember it correctly i get the Investigate the Murders quest, i reloaded to continue running around and that i will get there later on. now i doing the Open Hand Temple area and talk to everyone and of course agreed tp investigate the murder of the father Lorgan. but i dont get any quest entry in the Journal. also when i dive to the well i dont get Investigate the Murder quest either. was trying some older saves, nothing helps. anyone got the same problem, or knows about workaround?

On my last playthrough, it wasn't showing up in my journal, but I was still able to solve it since I have done it before and knew what to do.

I could explain it and tell you what to do, but it would spoil and Idk if you want spoilers.

yes please if you could point me, or do a screenshot of the quest entry from your previous game, if you still have some saves.

also, is it both those quests or just the Open Hand Temple one and the other is a part of it or entirely different one?

I still have saves, so very many though. Are you playing as a Tav or Durge? Did you go to the basement of the Open Hand Temple (it's hatch is in the kitchen)? Did you also go to the "backyard" of the temple? There is a body. In my one playthrough that was glitched. The murders are connected to a couple quests.

If you want, I'll give you instructions, but like I said, it's connected to a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ and I don't want to spoil unless you want a ton of spoilers and don't care.

I would also add, the beginning of this quest, I always felt was not fleshed out well. Even with hot fixes and patches, part of it felt a bit "unfinished."

I put up two screen shots from an old playthrough up (tagged them as potential spoilers as they are public). You'll have to click on my screenshot showcase, but they are the most recent. Ihonestly could explain it better though. That quest has been weird in every playthrough I have done.

seems it catches itself up, once i went to the caves with dopplegangers and killed them, the quest pop up in the journal :) did some quick pre-questing runs to Sharess Caress (not there yet) for the olyphant, went back to speak with dead dopple and all seems to update as it should, so im releaved and happy. thx for help :)

I had the same kind of issue in one playthrough. It didn't "work" until I went to the flop house across from Sharesses Caress. Before that the drunk olyphant basically told me to eff off, lol.

not the best quest, have to do the lion the witch and the wardrobe thing in the attic of the flophouse to find the list in the secret room. I got distracted by the plotting vamps on my first play and didn't see the ladder up and wasted a bunch of time running around every inch Rivington before I went back and found the attic.

about Investigate the Murders quest, it pops up just right after i read Baldurs Gazette 86 from the small boy before south entry do Wyrms Crossing, so no by stepping in the cave under the well. oh well :)

Oh, that's interesting. It seems like there must be a few things that trigger it.
