Black Tar Prophecies bugged?

[ELDERSPEAR]

Spoilers ahead


So I went to Drest after doing the ritual and when I talked to him I said "The ritual was quite funny". He just laughed and I can't talk to him anymore but the quest still points me to him.
Anyone knows what to do next?
Is it a bug?

[Iskar]

Have you talked to Heber again yet? He was the original quest giver.

[ELDERSPEAR]

Yes I did.
at first I said I know who might know about these ritual sites.
Then I went to talk to Drest and I had some dialogue choices. I chose "The ritual was quite funny" and he just laughed it off and I can´t talk to him anymore.

The quest still points to Drest and it says something like "Drest should know more"

[Iskar]

No, talk to Heber again after you did the ritual.

[ELDERSPEAR]

Yes that's what I did...
1) Did the ritual
2) Talked to Heber
3) He told me that it's bad and that I should find someone who understands these ancient sites
4) Talked to Drest and told him the ritual was funny
5) I'm stuck - can't talk to Drest anymore. Talking to Heber again does nothing also. Quest points me two directions
-Find someone who understands these ancient sites
-Drest should give me some advice

basicly youre not supposed to joke about the incedent.
you tell him right away sth is off with the place now.

you could try the red priest in the keep. he is supposed to be involved too
but technicly the entire quest is about drest, so not sure if there actually is an alternative path.

[ELDERSPEAR]

Well I get it.
You should take it seriously.
But in case you decide to joke about it there should be another path in the quest. For example you get punished because you joked about it.

Not just one decision bugging out the quest entirely.
Or making it that you Failed the quest.

Same problem. Seems to be a bug that remains present in the release version.

Needless to say that it's a bug (or unthreaded quest, if you prefer) because there is no conclusion to the quest (no fail state or alternative path to bring the quest to an end).

having the same issue. I'm so confused. I think I went to Drest before returning to Heber. When I spoke to Drest I was doing another quest and asked/answered a question about this quest. I'm not sure...

Either way, I'm unable to speak to Drest about "Black Tar Prophecies.

Same... Without a message "quest failed" I just continued to try to look around the map to find other solutions nada... That was 6 hours ago, no way I will reload that far.. They need to implement a dialogue to restart the discussion "I aplogise for what I said, shall we proceed?". That is the only quest I could not finish in the first zone, moved on to thesecond one... Quiet unhappy about the situation...

Same issue

[Drenix]

I had this issue in 0.9, in my case I spoke with Drest and told him I did the ritual, was funny before talking to Heber, when I had to cleanse it, I couldn't speak with Drest anymore.

I had to backtrack to a Save file before talking to Drest and tell him I performed the ritual and there's a problem (just to be sure, I spoke with Heber.

It seems, if you pick an option that wasn't "There's a problem", you can't speak with Drest anymore.

Same here, quest is just broken in 1.0. Awesome. Drest just had no dialog, there is nobody else related to the quest at this point. And as a bonus the in-game bug report feature is completely broken ...
