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.

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?

When I freed them all from the prison via the boat they all made it back to the inn via the boat

Same here pal….watching his sibling mutter “where is Rolan” on top of his corpse is stupidly annoying!!! Plus, when I rescued them from the prison, my dialogue had “Rolan is still alive”, and heard Astarion said “that’s Rolan” when I fought some shadow spawns under Moonrise tower’s bridge. so I guess the game just can’t correctly recognize his status if he was killed in the inn. At this point I just hope the future fix can just miraculously bring him back to life and fix this broken quest chain, because I’ve already made far into ACT2 and just about to dive myself into shadowfell, and I would hate to reload back to the point where I talk to the Selune priestess.

So i've got a problem where Roland survives the attack on the Inn and runs off to find his siblings. I found and SAVED him from the shadows, he ran off-screen back to the inn... but never re-appeared there. Now that i've saved the prisoners from Moonrise, they're asking where he is, the quest sends me to where I saved him from the shadows but there's nothing there and the quest itself says Roland went back to the inn no worse for wear but quite embarrassed. Now I'm left with no corpse-Roland, no undead-Roland and no Roland. :|

I actually found rolan and saved him from the shadows. After I saved him he just stood there bugged and kept saying that he was going to last light. He would take 2 steps forward and then turn around and just stand there. Reloading didn't help I've come back a few times to check on him and still the same issue. I tgen rescued lia and called and still he was in the spot where the shadows attacked him not doing anything. I then completed act 2. After the big boss fight I went to check him again and he's gone. I then checked last light with cal and lia but they kept complaining that they couldn't find him. Rolan is just bugged no matter what you do.

Rolan is a jerk. Didn't even know going over that bridge caused him to die and after saving his friends find out he is missing only to find he turned into a Shadow Cursed. No indicator from the game or anything that this would happen and by the time you find out he went missing he is already turned. Very shortsighted on whoever designed this quest. Worst part is any save before this happens is 30-45 minutes of played content!

Same.

If he hasn't show up at the Wizard shop in Act 3 then I would say load a save and rescue him again if you want to save him so badly. Guy is kinda a jerk so him vanishing into the void of existence is a positive.

Haven't made it to Act 3 yet. It isn't so much that I'm just dying to save him. It's that I did save him so it would be nice to see the correct result of that.

This is so dumb for real. happened to me too. Just because i went down in the area he is dead, and i have to relad and redo 5 hours of gameplay so i can save him. Really dumb the game gives you no heads up what so ever.

[MaxTheMad]

Rolan died somewhere . somehow without my acknowledgement. Best game design for static game.

[Tregajorran]

Went back several hours to a save before freeing his siblings after the first time in order to save him. He is now stuck by the bridge, and a hologram thing on the bar says 'if you see this I'm dead' and so his siblings think he is dead. I'd saved him without getting a quest to save him. Even tried Dominate person and Dimension door on him, but he just walks back to the bridge.

I had a problem were Roland was already turned when I showed up. So I reload a save before I even talked to him and as soon as I did I headed out to find him without the blessing. This time when I found him he hadn't been turned yet and I was able to send him back to the in.

When he leaves you immideatly need to follow him. If you already have the moonlantern/pixie blessing you can just port nearby and then run to the place and it should work.
But this whole thing is just another bad planned event. (It actually expects you save scumming to save him. The worst thing is if you realize too late you need to save him asap. Like 8 hours later.:D)

Yes. Plus there is the annoying thing where after he is turned, you can make him into a sheep and when he returns to human form, he is no longer an undead. You then get What I'd call Schrödinger's Rolan - where he is both dead and alive.

I spent quite some time with Rolan and managed to solve his death, so I thought I share my findings. Although it seems people are having also some other problems with him I don't know much about.

If he has already been killed by the shadows, don't approach or kill them. Instead, grab his location from the projector he left in the inn. Then position yourself just outside the ring and use the script extender console or similar to give the following commands:

Osi.DB_Dead:Delete("b6a3a9e9-b6eb-4c19-ab3f-4c431178fe1b")
Osi.DB_PermaDefeated:Delete("b6a3a9e9-b6eb-4c19-ab3f-4c431178fe1b")

Osi.Resurrect("b6a3a9e9-b6eb-4c19-ab3f-4c431178fe1b")
Osi.TeleportTo("b6a3a9e9-b6eb-4c19-ab3f-4c431178fe1b", GetHostCharacter())

He probably needs to be properly dead for this, although never tried with him as a zombie. Now he should spawn healthy and head for the shadows. Just escort him and kill them. That should trigger the conversation and make him return to the inn.
If the shadows are already dead, I'm not sure if this will work, but you will probably at least have to set the appropriate flags:

Osi.SetFlag("ad212abc-6ab6-9923-6c3f-ebae3d7ba8a7")
Osi.SetFlag("a00234f3-699d-7055-dd19-a8814f9d5d4d")

Additionally, when going through the game files, I noticed some flags that sounded relevant. Not sure if they are necessary. Probably related to other acts, but I cleared them just in case and it seemed to work:

Osi.ClearFlag("47b8a371-e4a9-40e6-bc0f-18ac582142b9")
Osi.DB_GlobalFlag:Delete("GLO_Prodigy_State_Defeated_54df9b47-fe34-3cbc-1a52-e539924c6613")
Osi.DB_GlobalFlag:Delete("GLO_Prodigy_State_PermaDefeated_d9ddfe5f-6658-4c63-bacc-bbcd50940c21")
Osi.DB_GlobalFlag:Delete("GLO_Prodigy_Knows_Dead_908e8264-f675-c137-aaa0-c31b5eeac3b1")

I hope this helps at least someone. Took me two days to figure this out =)
