BUG: "Back in the Saddle" - quest fragile

[Nox]

The quest back in the saddle if the player chooses to engage the enemies pretending to be guards, the quest breaks.

Hans is teleported to Trosky
Player gets orders to go to Trosky
Player cannot fast travel

This happens even if player clears Nebakov of hostiles.

EXPECT: If player clears Nebakov of hostiles quest advances sensibly
ACTUAL: player clearing Nebakov breaks quest.
SEVERITY:Possibly severe
WORKAROUND:Slow walk to Trosky, quest resumes properly.
ISSUES:Fast travel/time skip block flag stays set.

In Nebakov Fortress you are suppose to notice weird things and examine to collect a bunch of clues, eventually finding the prisoner in order to get help, but I think with all these flags and conditions, you bugged something out here.

I dunno where you can pretend to be guards there because Back in the Saddle is a early game Main story quest after the Wedding quest...

Also you are not suppose to kill them, because there's a underlying plot with the pretenders, versus von Bargon faction.

So obviously the quest breaks because you caused a time paradox.

Upon reaching Trosky the quest resumed as if I had been attacked by the nabokov guards. So, this was just a minor inconvenience. The quest does take violence into account it just doesn't handle it well.

Or perhaps not. My "no time skip" flag never cleared so I cannot fast travel nor sleep/timeskip.

So just to make it clear - this outcome should trigger if the player agros guards in any way - like being detected in the red trespass areas

In my case I don't need to kill anyone, randomly when i walk up to Capon, he starts to walk away and the quest is failed, annoying as ♥♥♥♥.

I have same issue. Cant sleep anymore or pass time. This really sucks. Please if u find help for this do tell😢

This is late but I just got the game.

I played dice, fought the dude, shagged the girl and saw her ( o ) ( o ), did the archery and got the crossbow, I did the race last and snuck up to get the prize. Talk to the stable hand and then sneak around the back of capon talk to him while sneaking and its all good!
