How to continue oxbow quest

[Rocky McRockerson]

Me and my friend stopped playing a while back and decided to play now that the questline was said to be finished, but it just says "keep an eye on the situation"

You need to do some quests for the villages (not the notice board) til your quest updates.

Yeah its very frustrating to actually guess how far along you are with the main quest, considering your travelling to all the other villages to do one maybe two quests a season like for instance still in year one winter oxbow map, maybe they could give better hints or say a progression bar. i honestly thought the valley quest line was more or less straight forward,but this one is taking the mickey.

Since some might not want to know since it spoils the mystery, I'll put it this way, there are 58 parts of the Oxbow quest.

The quests are spread over the seasons because the game is designed to be played over a long period of time. There is also no reason to hurry up with anything or to have to complete all the quests in one year. I found that the quests can be comfortably completed while waiting for the villagers to earn enough technology points for the final buildings.


In each small village, the quest line leads to the point where the respective village leader changes or is confirmed. As soon as this is achieved, the village is finished.

Quests don't expire in Oxbow and are also not mandatory in the game as it's more of a sandbox.
These quests tell a story and have multiple endings, and some things you won't find out instantly. I like that.
