Game-breaking bug in Spy Extraction quest.

[Teach]

Just started this quest and upon returning with the spy to the city the quest did not complete. He ran off into Bowerstone South but whenever I get back to the Windmill I see him running to the north exit and disappearing. And since I cannot get out of the quest area, I am pretty much stuck. What the f*ck...

Killing the Spy when he's running around the windmill fails the quest, I can't interact with him in any way or get him to follow me. Can I get a developer to look into this?

He died in the first try . Now i can start at a checkpoint but there are no people on the map anymore . just the thieves which i can hire . Now im stuck in the quest area and can't even cancel the quest .....

I couldn't reproduce this myself. If you want to exit the quest and try again (or just not do it) you can reload the Autosave (not Checkpoint) and you should be in Bowerstone North before having spoken to the quest-giver. Do you have a save file you could share with me please so we can try it here? You can follow the instructions in this thread as to what to get and how to share: http://steamcommunity.com/app/288470/discussions/0/613936673535257883/?tscn=1412101102

I was able to reproduce this issue, if you kill him in Gibbet Woods the quest isn't failed but he doesn't respawn. You can restart the quest though if you load your last Autosave (not Checkpoint). You should be in Bowerstone North before having spoken to the quest-giver, so you can even choose to go do another quest if you want.

I'm in the same boat, and I don't have a backup save thanks to the screwed up save system.

Way late to the party here, but I had the same issue. I fixed it by going to the save game location (documents/my games/fablehd/saves). In there were 3 autosave files. The one without a file extension was the bugging save, so I deleted it and renamed "autosave.qs" to "autosave" and it fixed the issue.

Thanks. This was very helpful. Worked for me and saved multiple hours.
