By the Grace of the Dalish - bugged?

[gnomad]

so i did EVERYTHING positive from this wiki, including the history special option with ithiren and scouts. handed over the scroll from emerald knight quest even. didnt desecrate the graveyard and didnt mention blood magic but i still cant recruit the elf as an agent since the quest is stuck on 'gain more favor' but my meter is filled almost to the end, its on 90% cca which should be more than enough to get 15 required favor and no new options come up from any of the elves. i can trade with them tho

am i stuck?

"Almost" is, alas, not nearly good enough. The entire thermometer bar has to be filled.

Once you fill the bar completely see if that does it. Try talking to both Keeper Hawen and the kid--sometimes it's fulfilled by one and sometimes the other. Seems buggy to me but I guess the result is what counts.

Also, I've had games where the bar was full, I was able to recruit the kid, but the quest still didn't close. Annoying! :-(

yeah, i talked to both of them and no new options came up. i ran out of things to do so i guess its bugged. forgot to mention that i did the whole questline two times to be sure but im sure not going to do it the third time

thanks for the reply!

It occurs to me...did you talk to the girl whose brother has gone missing? She's on the left-hand side of the elvish camp as you face away from the river, kinda behind where Keeper Hawen hangs out.

She will give you that quest, plus there's a hidden quest that goes with it that you may already have fulfilled depending on what else you've done in the region (trying to avoid spoilers here!).

Once you've done one or possibly both, the thermo bar should fill up completely if it hasn't previously and hopefully the quest should resolve and you will get a new agent! :-)

yeah i did. found both her brother and the talisman. also noted how brave he was for extra points. also did all the fetch quests, found the golden halla, used the associated special dialogue, turned in the key to the graveyard and still nothing

really weird but what can you do. certainly not doing it for the third time!

Well it sure sounds like you've done all you can. Personally I find chasing the frikkin' halla to be a chore so I usually ignore it. But I hand over the stuff from the Green Knights, generally already have the gravesite cleared, fix up all the missing supplies--why they can't do some of it themselves is beyond me, the river has more than enough spindleweed within a few steps, and the only thing I occasionally have to go and fetch is the Great Bear Hide, which you can buy at the Emporium if all else fails--and I find the idiot brother and lie about his accomplishments while also having the talisman in my hip pocket from earlier.

So with pretty much everything except the halla chase, I have more than enough. So--yeah--something's not right. Sorry I can't help any more! :-(

thanks for the effort though!
