Bug? Baba Yaga curse can NOT be removed

[KrimsonVagus]

I attacked this Baba Yaga creature thingy (or whatever its name is). After I killed it (physically), it cursed EVERYONE, including the people in town AND the expeditions.
There is no quest followup to remove the curse. So I go to the "old men" in this place called Dziody or something..

I give them 50 food, I complete their challenge. They tell me "Your curses have been removed"... but THE CURSES ARE STILL THERE!

So... wut? I can't tell if this is a bug or you are actually supposed to STAY cursed for the rest of the game, even though the old men actually TOOK MY FOOD and told me they will remove my curses. 50% of the time these Dziody guys are completely useless. They just take my food and fail to remove curses.

If this is by design, it's like if you are playing Super Mario and you grab a mushroom, but instead of making you bigger, it DOES NOTHING lol

If you have a method available to deal with the challenges, why would you make exceptions to the rule without informing the player that the exceptions exist? And why is the player still expected to PAY the price without knowing that the curse removal does not even work?

EDIT: By the way, I tried removing the curse twice. The old men took 40 food two times and still failed.

What curse was it? And did you choose the Dziody dialog option for that curse?

Strangely enough, the curse has no name!
It is simply called "Curse". The effect of this curse is:
"You have recieved a wound that does not heal until the curse is broken"
It basically gives all my characters about -5 HP permanently

And the Dziody have failed to break it. Another problem is that the Dziody does not have a dialogue option to remove a SPECIFIC curse. If you have multiple curses, they will randomly remove one of them from all visiting characters without having you choose. In some other games, you can actually pick the status effect that you want to remove from a list OR you can remove them all from the get go.

The same curse i got from Baba Yaga. Dziody can't remove it, so i don't know what to do. All my characters cursed, including characters in village. The only option - is to start a new game :(

there was a bug with removing the 'curse' curse ;) and it should work correctly now. Also, the way it works now (i Hope) is that it should only show you the options with the curses you currently have in your party.

♥♥♥♥... just realised I was checking for 'curse', instead of 'cursed' all this time... and did the same with my 'test' event.... okay, well the next patch will fix this bloody curse! promise!

i am not sure it can actually fix an existing game I am afraid. I think it will only work in a new game.
