The mission "Mysterious Ways" has a small bug

[Torbster]

It's not so much the mission but the alehouse in Uzhitz. To find information on Lumpy, you can talk to the priest in the alehouse. He'll only talk to you, though, if you sit on the bench directly across from him. I'm unable to sit on the bench across from him, I can sit next to his spot before he comes or at the table next to him, but not across from him. He wont talk to me. Does anyone have a fix or know of another way I can get information on Lumpy to finish the quest?

Edit: A small question. In Rattay, many of the shopkeepers and townsfolk refuse to talk to me normally unless I pay them to like me. My rep with them is extremely low, probably -70. Does it start off this way or does stealing a few things really bring it down that low?

The hitbox for choosing to sit across is a bit small, it's easier to find it if you stand on the table, point down and go around a bit until you see the "sit" option.
In worst case scenario you can also tell the bailiff that the priest isn't giving you any information and the bailiff will fix the quest for you instead.

It starts off at +50 i think. If anyone notice you stealing or if you "stealth kill" anyone, have dirty clothes all the time or just bargain to low your reputation will drop.
You can increase it by for example giving alms to the beggars.

Thanks for the help.

Definitely can't sit at the bench at all. Will try the Bailiff.

Where does the Bailiff hang out the most? I can't find him wandering anymore.

Not sure but i think he's sometimes at the scribe. Otherwise he hangs around the lodgings at noon.

Nevermind, I just found him. Many thanks.
