Rolan's dead but he's not

[Gameer4life]

In Act 2 during the big battle at Last light inn, Rolan died somehow to the gargoyles. After rescuing his siblings, they are stuck in a quest loop asking where Rolan is and sending me to go find him while standing over his dead body. I think the developers never intended him to die but he did and now the siblings questline is stuck.

[EE]

Yeah, the same thing happened to me, I happened upon Rolan being attacked by Shadows before I rescued the Tieflings, but failed to keep him from dying due to an unfortunate critical attack. Now Cal and Lia just won't do anything but tell me to find him, as if I'm incapable of telling them he's dead.

I've even gone so far as to actually drag his corpse back to Last Light Inn and drop it at their feet, which changes nothing.

Have a similar issue where Roland ran off into the dark to find his siblings and before I have even found him the game says he's dead and I cannot save him, tried going back quite a few saves and still no way for me to save him.

[Gameer4life]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I hope they are not important to the story

[Omega]

Happened to me too.

[MadCheshireFox]

Having the same issue too :( His body is right in front of them

[Mastergaming]

Yeah like when does he run off? Because when I heard from the siblings he ran off I did not even get the quest had to look it up on a third party site for his location and when I got there he was dead. I felt like I was jipped because there was never any indication early on he ran off or what triggers this.

If you speak with his siblings he does they comment he left them a message, it is on the bar right in front of them. Tells them to stay there. You should get a quest indicating a search zone. But I had two quests, one saying to go find him there, another saying he was dead.

Ok so I figure it out it sucks that the games does this under hand tactic. I reload a save after when you had to defend the inn. I decide to go talk to him and he was drunk and respond that he would go out look for his siblings. Now here what the game does not tell you after you ambush the spider and get the moonlight lamp he will leave the Inn. Make your way to the the Toll house and right before you get to the bridge look left and you will see a path. Follow it and you will find Rolan being attacked by shadows and you have to save him which will make him go back to the inn which then you can save the siblings. This game I will say is rather cheeky of not telling you that certain actions will make certain events move forward without your knowledge.

Seems a way to force repeatability down our throats tbh

I don't mind repeatability but I wish that if was some sort of heads up

[MellbyLau]

well, with me, rolan survived the inn battle, but died elsewhere off screen ( i only encountered his corpse) after, when i saved his siblings the quest bugged and they just stand still on the docks literally inside each other

[Alleluja2000]

Yup, it happened to me in Act 3
(SPOILERS)
After the battle at the mage tower he survived, said he's gonna support me etc. So I went on and did some other quests.
Now, all of a sudden, I got a message out of nowhere that he's dead and won't help me after all oO

There are sooooo many bugs in this game

Its...not some underhanded tactic? Its just part of what is happening in parallel. If your character didn't know and didn't talk to Rolan to get the hint then there's nothing that they could have done. That is just a part of your character's story then. D&D isn't exactly a game to be "won". Just react to the consequences as you would. Bugs suck however, but your issue doesn't sound like a bug.

The worst and absolute dumbest way to view this lmao.

Yeahh so I found Rolan before rescuing the Tieflings... his status was like the undead harpers (forgetting what it said exactly) so after killing the shadows, he started combat against me so I killed him. Then after rescuing the tieflings the quest ends with the flavor text that his siblings are waiting for him.

I checked Rolan's message and it sends me back to where his dead body is which I found and completed the quest but the quest marker is still on the map with this giant circle suggesting the area :/.

Also, his sister somehow went from me freeing them from the cell to the weird blood pit below the prison. How did she get there?? Does she live if you release them via the boat?
