Valor's Plans main quest bug (solved)

[tomatt]

Hi, for some reason I cannot complete Valor's Plans main quest because it doesn't let me speak to the Orc Shaman.

Info:
- I'm not using mods that change gameplay/missions, I'm just using PureHD.
- I'm playing as a Dwarf.
- When I entered to Khorad-Nur, there was a group of skeletons, zombies, and orcs, I killed all of them, the "Group Eliminated" text appeared 3 times.

Solutions that I tried:
- Playing on older saves
- Verifying the game files
- Playing without PureHD

Are there any solutions to this bug?

(btw, I can record a video if needed)

I'm guessing you took out the Undead Dragon already and discovered the soldier camp in the desert where a portal should take you?
Did you go around the orc city walls to make sure an undead isn't hiding somewhere and does the Orc shaman have the scroll icon above his head?

This is from the game wikie on the quest progression if it helps even a bit:
5) Valor's Plans

-----------------------



Shareefa asks you to go to Khorad-Nur and find out why the orcs are invading. And she will open a portal to Ahil-Tar for you. Going into the portal will take you into the middle of Ahil-Tar, a camp of Valorian soldiers.



Khorad-Nur is Southwest of Ahil-Tar, and should be very obvious if you follow the tracks. There will be a Guardian in front of the entrance.



-----------------------

*) The Camp of the Undead

-----------------------



The Guardian will give you the guest: "The Camp of the Undead", which you can accept or refuse. The choice will determine how you finish Act II.



If you accept




You will get to slay your first dragon! Go a bit south to the place marked by the blue quest marker. There will be a bunch of skeletons and D'cay, the undead dragon.



The town will be normal and full of citizens. You will talk to the orc shaman and get the demon horn.


If you refuse




You will get to fight the Guardian. He will drop the key to the town. But when you enter, you will find a large group of undead fighting a large group of Orcs. There won't be any shop or normal citizen. And, you will have to slay the Orc shaman and his guards.



The Orc shaman drop the demon horn when he dies.


Note: Remember to activate the main portal of Khorad-Nur.

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

1) I refused the dragon quest and it was when I started Act II, probably thats the reason?
2) Yes, I checked the walls and inside the buildings, there is no one except the 3 groups in the center.
3) Yes, the Orc Shaman has a scroll icon, I clicked the Orc Shaman but the only thing that happens is that my character gets close to the Orc Shaman.

I also followed the tutorial and, the same bug happened, im not sure what's causing it.

I remember experiencing something similar years ago, I can't remember properly but I think I tried getting closer to them and spam clicking, messing with my game resolution (as some older games can "break" with some resolutions).
Also if you refused the Dragon quest then about every orc in the city (including the shops and quest givers) should be dead, so it is a slight possibility that your game is throwing a fit cuz of that.

I vaguely recall this happening to me, as well, some years ago. I've also refused the dragon quest a few times. I could be wrong, but I think I played some other areas for a while and came back to the guy later, and was able to talk to the Orc Shaman. Sometimes the horn doesn't show up and I'll do the same thing until the quest finally works.

Hi! I tried the quest with the original resolution (without PureHD), however, it doesn't work. I also spam clicked on the Orc Shaman and nothing happened.

Alright, thanks, I will try.
