Cherchez la femme is broken
I'm at the part where you're supposed to kidnap Margaret and take her to the mine gallery, which i've done... but Hare isn't saying anything and the quest hasn't updated. If I pick Margaret up again (The woman Hare wanted me to kidnap) Hare attacks me! I get the feeling that it isn't something that I'm doing wrong, and this part of the quest is simply broken or buggy. Has anyone actually managed to complete this part of the quest (where you choose to help Hare)

Bump. Has anyone even managed finished this quest at all?
Did you complete any of the Hare Hunt rival quest? It may have bugged it out (as in you cant complete both)

No I haven't.

I think this entire quest is completely bugged for me, because even if I kill Margaret in front of Hare the quest still doesn't fail and is still telling me to take margaret to the mine gallery :(

This quest is bugged af.
Ive talked to Margaret and perusaded her to go with me. After that i get documents from Hare but i cant talk to another NPC (margaret husband - dont remember his name) to finish it.
ive give up and quest after few days gets FAILED status...

That's a damn shame, I was hoping there was a solution but I guess the quest is just totally broken

I have the confessioned signed. But the hare says meet him at Sir Divish, but when i go there I can not talk to Sir Divish. So whatever for now.

they guy who is supposed to sign is called nicholas and he is the huntmaster.
the only dialog option i get with him is about training.
warlace23 Feb 26, 2018 @ 6:49pm 
No, I can get the huntmaster to sign, i gave it to Hare and hare says, lets go to Divish in the morning and show him the confession, but hare never shows up
Dacian Rider Feb 27, 2018 @ 7:06pm

I was able to get it to work without issue and here is exactly what i did. I felt it was important to mention the prior quest hunting hare cause what i did there may impact somehow?
(1) Get the quest from the master huntsman
(2) Go to the Inn Glade and talk to the inn keeper (Alex?)
note: Keep In mind I only cared about this quest because i wanted to become a huntsman so I never did any parts of hunting hare quest.
(3) Do the quest to win his cup back (I did via archery) from a stable hand in neuhof
(4) Meet with the contact (name was black something?) and go get the deer antlers
(5) I tried to wait for night time to steal the huntsmans horn but I ended up going through the house and around back. I saw him standing in front of the fire pot so i just knocked him out and stole the horn.
(6) Give the Horn to the contact (name was black something?)
(7) I waited till 5am just so there was light and met at up with the other poachers
(8) Sided with Hare and met them at the hideout.
note: FYI do not shoot any hares or deer, it might be tempting cause they walk slow, but it will cause Hare and company to attack you
(9) I talked to someone in the camp (black something?) he asks you to get his stash from his house !!! IMPORTANT: I DID NOT complete his quest
Note: I didn't because I thought bugs might come from that. In hindsight this was a valid concern because this 'get stash' quest fails when you complete Cherchez la femme.
(10) After that I talked to Hare and he gave me the quest to kidnap the huntsmans wife
(10b) idk if it matter but i exhaust all the dialogue options before I accept the quest
(11) I wait till around 4am while still in the forest. Then run over (on foot) to the huntsmans house
(12) I ran up and down the road (the stretch of road walking from the inn up to the huntsmans house) until it was about 5.
(13) I see a guard at the house so I walk around and I knocked him out without killing him.
(14) I heard no horn so then I ran around the road until 6.
(15) IMPORTANT: I DID NOT hear horn but went up to the house around 6 anyways
(15b) I read online about someone going in with waiting for the horn, apparently he just went in to the house, so that is why I assumed i was too far to hear the horn)
(16) I lock pick the door.
(17) The wife is sleeping but when I walk up to her (private room I guess) she woke up and warned me to get out of there
(18) When the wife stands up I talk to her.
(19) I used speech check to convince her, the one where I say that her husband has walked right into Hare's trap.
(19b) I exhaust all dialogue options here as well.
(20) I believe there was a cutscene right after convincing her where you end up in Hare's camp again? ( I am pretty sure there was )
(21) In dialogue, I answered "I don't think about it, what's next". Hare tells you about the confession.
Note: Again I try to exhaust dialogue so if there were any I would have done so
(22) I find the huntsman walking in the woods and when I talk to him he asks about wife
(23) My dialogue options were something along the lines of "Hare has your wife" "I am the one who kidnapped her". In speech check I selected the "honor" option where it says something along the lines of "you almost had an innocent man killed over a woman and after all the years it is coming back to haunt you ... Man up ... exchange your name for a happy life with wife ... Hare will let you have a head start." Huntsman say "what choice do I have".
NOTE: I DID NOTE fight him or anything the huntsman just signed the confession.
(24) I talk to Hare and he says something like "really he signed it? no bloodshed? I'm glad."
(25) IMPORTANT: For me right afterward talking to Hare, there was a cutscene that has me and Hare walking to talmburg and meeting with Sir Divish.
(26) IMPORTANT: In the cutscene Sir Divish says that you will have to talk to the chamberlain (aka the scribe) to get the master huntsman job.
(27) I talk to the scribe and it triggers a quest for me to get venision for Sir Divish. I will update once I find out if I actually have the house or not.

NOTE: I DID NOT save while doing the Cherchez la femme quest. I DID save while doing the Hunting Hare portion of this quest chain (quite alot actually 5+ times)

Note: If you don't have high speech you can drink a potion that gives you like +5 speech. I did drink a speech potion as a precaution.
haha123123 Mar 4, 2018 @ 7:29pm 
TLDR: (1) Don't save during Cherchez la femme. (2) There was a cutscene for me when I turn in the contract. (3) I convinced wife to come with me with the "husband fell for Hare's trap" speech check. (4) I used speech check "honor" with the huntsman and told him I helped kidnap wife.
NOTE: just read the steps above. I used "IMPORTANT" for most important things while being very thorough. So far I haven't found an answer anywhere else so the 10-15 minutes here is probably much less annoying than waiting for a patch or something.

Just make sure to turn in the confession early in the day to avoid the time passing lockout.

What do you mean spam? I literally spent like 20 minutes typing up everything i can remember of what I did for the quest. And I got it to work. I couldn't find any solution anywhere on steam, or reddit or anywhere else.
