The new patch 1.2 makes this game 8/10 from 10/10 for me.

[Husper]

I've never encountered a bug my entire life in any open world RPG that prevented you from completing the main quest, not even in Ubisoft's crappy slops. This cursed Goatskin just ruined all good impression of the game, of which I liked every aspect.

The reason that made me start a brand new playthrough after 300 hrs is simple: after completing the story, four of the five towns on the map 2 are razed to the ground and lie in ruins. And guess what, if you didn't read any guides and discovered the false image of the defenders and the fact of being deceived for the first time yourself in Nebakov, you would slaughter all the bandits there and angrily report everything to Bergow, yeah, which leads to the ruin of Semine, one of the two towns in map 1.

So in order to still have castle/town to visit in addition to Trosky and Kuttenberg throughout the whole game, I started a whole new playthrough just for a after-story world where Semine is safe and sound (and of course for the Lent achievement).

Now Goatskin, just like his disgusting image in the game, has totally ruined the entire game progress and all my good impressions of this game.

20/03/2025 update: Devs fixed the bug.

Um...what's the bug? So much whining and you didn't even say your issue, lol.

The bug, which has been reported by bunches of players already, is that Goatskin, a NPC for the main quest, won't spawn in the game after patch 1.2.

So it went from a perfect game (which is ridiculous as this game was a bug ridden mess at all stages of existence), to a very good game?

Alright, thanks for sharing I suppose.

After patch, I can't sleep ALL my inn bed, totally immersion breaking and annoying too.
so I stop play it until they fix it.

Semine was easy to discover... im surprised so many people betrayed Olda to Bergow.. after you spend quite a lot of time knowing Semines, doing quests.. there was just no way i would snitch on them to somebody.. but yes, initially, i mentioned Olda leaving the wedding, but then during "torture" i decided to not report it precisely because of mentioned possible consequences to Semine family, and thanks to high speech (leveling up is damn to fast with Henry's Fox if you get it early from Pavlena) i managed to convince him..

[SecularStoner]

I haven't had a single bug so far in either patches. Playing on experimental, too.

I was already level 23 speech in Map 1, so until I drew my sword in Semine I thought I could solve it eventually with my speech. But after it got out of hand I didn't want to reload the game (during which I did at least 20 hours of side quests).

So firstly, I didn't read a single guide or walkthrough so I have no idea of the fatal consequences if your report Olda to Bergow. And secondly I recognized the guy that raided Hans and me by the pond, found everyone acting sus, found the excessive amounts of weapons/equipment/horses, found the wench Klara trying to allure me, and at the end found the caged Lord. Henry has been betrayed hundreds of times since KCD1, at this point I could just not bare it anymore and slaughter everyone in the castle.

You CAN solve the Semine issue with speech by convincing Bergow that Semine wasn't involved at all though? Even if you already ratted them out earlier, it's a hard speech check.

I haven't had a bug in my first playthrough as well, except the one by the side quest Demons of Trosky, where a door prevented you from going to the quest area. It's a side quest that you can avoid, or you can just use command to teleport yourself inside the room, which I did. But this Goatskin, a main quest NPC, is just nonsense. You can't even use the command to spawn this NPC to your player, which you could also do pre-patch 1.2.

My point is, I want them to be punished (otherwise I won't snitch at the first place), yet I don't want them to be slaughtered. I thought I could talk it through when the heat rose, but that crazy bloodthirsty noble won't listen to any words. But none of these matter, since 5 of the 7 castles/towns are ruins after the main story lol.

You can throw stones at the door, and NPCs would investigate. After several times they will open the door, and you can interact with the chest and the bed. But there is no solution for this Goatskin bug...

The thing is, all bugs in the early version have a solution, whether reload, or command. But about this Goatskin, you can't even spawn him using command, which you can do before patch 1.2.

im getting the goatskin bug too also the in room i bought i cant access anymore and some texture shadow twitching i was not getting prior to update and worst of all imo arrow dont show on enemy when you shoot them now and im not talking about inventory there not visually showing on the npc like they would before patch

[geralt1212]

+1

[Humble]

I assumed Inn bug, like you can't open door, or you already paid Inn yet you are in "threat" and it's keep wake you up in second map, I think it's more happen if you return to first map then come back to second map cause this bug.
