What's the deal with I see a darkness quest?

[Ikran]

Like seriously, it's frustrating.

I finished Best Friend Forever, Berg survives, I killed the ghost. Then I stumbled upon I see a darkness quest. Then, saw the spoilers here so I tried talking to Tadgan. I mean, I did just help his friend to survive, right? But I just cannot trigger his confession dialogue. No matter what, I cannot trigger his dialogue - reloading the save, reloading the game, all of it. What else do I need to do exactly? Or do I need to just let Frang die?

I don't know if this is a bug or I'm missing something, but this is actually a pretty bad implementation.

Well, doesn't matter. I'll just ignore the whole quest. I can't even trigger Drinking Buddies anyway. Maybe it's better to pretend this quest doesn't exist unless somehow I manage to trigger both Drinking Buddies and Best Friend Forever.

Which is to say, never gonna happen. A shame I can't get these 3 (plus Dicun's) are unplayable for me.

Script heavy games are prone to such bugs, the best examples are BGS games... There is no obvious reason, it just happens, and often need to go back in saves several levels or times and play forward if you want to resolve it. BGS games have console commands and setstage to advance when stuck.

I know ... I'm familiar with Skyrim. I do lowkey wish TFoA has console command. But, I do know that if the quest is implemented properly (as in streamlining the script and stress test the hell out of it), it won't break. But TFoA is a new game, maybe it'll get better in later patches.

A little disappointed I cannot slap iron on that certain sod though.

I just finished this one, I still don't know what triggered the dialog beacause I did the ghost quest with the fisherman at the beach, then the 3 friends sitted at the bar but no dialog was shown. So I tried to talk with the refuges again and I exausted all of the dialogs until the only remaing option was "leave". After that I went back to Tangard and the option showed up.
