Is Norsca Monster hunts bugged or ok now?

I heard this rumour a few years ago and searched the discussion page and couldn't get a clear answer.

I am thinking of playing a campaign with them but would rather wait if there most interesting mechanic is not fully playable until a fix.

The only bug I'm aware of and that is avoidable is that if you conquer the tower of khrakk before you start the hunt that asks to raid it (the first hunt), you won't be able to progress. Be sure to start the hunt before you conquer it.

I think a lot of the talk around this is just people repeating what they read on forums without testing it, or people finding this one bug and assuming the whole thing is broken.

In what way?

Scripts sometimes break in this game, the scripts for the Norsca monster hunts seems especially prone to this.

However, from my own experience, saving often and reloading a save when you notice something not triggering usually solves the issue (the key issue at that point is having to notice when something doesn't trigger as it should).

True. As it currently is i would not bother with monster hunts for Norsca unless i was able to reload saves to fix if the script breaks.

there are no other known fixes?

There was a mod for console commands (not sure if up to date now), and with it you could force next stage of hunt like in broken quests in Bethesda games. If you play ironmeme that's probably your only option because once it bugs out it's broken forever on that campaign.
