Glitched Quest: "Dirty funds"

[NeXuS23]

I have only one Quest that glitched, it's the "Dirty funds" Quest (Level 2) it's stuck at i should read the Letter, but reading it does nothing...

I suppose it's because i explored myself and killed a cleared Bandit Camp (marked with a ?) before reading or getting that Letter and now reading that Letter does not finish the Quest and its stuck for ever...

Would be nice if this could be fixed in one of the next Patches or so...

Well, logically i looted everything, it was marked with a (?) so i explored it... Also the Letter was not added to the Questitems either, it's a normal Item, so as soon as you explore and clear that Camp and logically loot the stuff there it will glitch out if you not read that Letter before doing so... I still have that Letter but well reading does nothing and it reapeats that i should read that letter over and over ad infinitum, it's simply glitched... ;)

Im stuck at where it says "read the letter". I read everything in my inventory.

The page is a quest item but once you clear the camp on the quest item it vanishes from your invetory so the only way to redo it would be a prev save

No it does not vanish, it's still in the Inventory where all other Letters are... i can still read it, but it does nothing... Problem is that reading that Letter normally marks that Camp, but the Camp was marked already with a (?) before even reading that Letter, so the glitch is that it was marked with (?) and that if you loot that Camp before reading the Letter the Quest is not simply finished but stuck... It's not a big Bug, but something that should be fixed...

It is a QUEST ITEM Not a normal letter. As soon as you pick it up it starts the quest Hence Quest Item Then You READ The Quest Item and it advances the quest to kill the leader
thats why my prev post states if you dont read the letter but Explore and clear the Camp and kill the leader before reading it pretty much ends the quest and wipes the page from the Quest Page Invetory. End Of Story

No its glitched and in my Inventory, its on the normal List and not on the Quest Items List...

Possible that if you explore first and kill that Camp the Letter becomes a normal one and is never added to the Quest Item's, simple as that... I still have it in the Inventory and can read it, but it is definitely not a Quest Item...


@CursedPanther

Exactly, that is what probably happened, and yeah it's only minor Glitch, however hope its fixed with one of the next patches...

Also other Quests don't glitch out like this if you finish it before eg. speak with someone, then that option is only marked red but the others are marked green and Quest is finished normally, so its fixable...

So far its the only that glitched, so good job from the Dev's because its rather complex to take into account all possible non-linear Consideration Paths a User could choice...

same for me,stuck on read the letter,well its not a big deal not my eyes sore from this incomplete mission,hope dev fix it soon.

It's a bug that occurs when you have already found the location that the letter would have revealed. It happens in many quests. It'll stay in your journal throughout the game, but you can't complete or abandon it.

being a diehard rpg fan,seeing incomplete mission in your quests though you know you can finish it easily hurts you,they should put an abandon marker or something similar as an opt, hope dev notice it soon enough.

Happened to me too, and I had to reload a 5 ours old savegame, I can't stand to see an incomplete quest in the journal.
Really boring issue!

[Nezrox]

Did you try dropping it or selling it, then get it back? I did the quest in the right order, luckily, but I still never found the key to the windmil.
