"All that Glisters" - might this quest be broken? [Solved, sorta]

[Space Escapist]

I've just reached the part where Henry confronts Jezhek of Ronow. The dialogue leads to a duel. At a point not too long after this has started, Jezhek becomes untargettable and runs away, but when I go after him a run into an invisible wall.

This might be a (not too elegant) way of the quest's author to let me know that Henry now has to go search for Jezhek, but I cannot find anything in the walkthrough that would suggest this; in fact it seems to suggest that the confrontation will lead to an arrest. (At this point, I don't even know if I can even leave the mine, because the other tunnels lead to invisible walls as well, as if I'm in an instance apart from the open world of the game.)

Just finished this yesterday with no issues so while there might be another chance later you can definitely capture him after first encounter.

I do know NPC's often run after they yield and don't get spoken to. Maybe that's what happened?

Go back to an earlier save?

Thanks for the reply.

Indeed, meanwhile, I went back to an earlier save (in face I made one very nearby) and this time took another approach: try to persuade instead of fight him (even though my strength options were indicated as being better in this matter) and that made it happen correctly.

Still, this is a bit sloppy of the game creators. If Henry would indeed be locked in that part of the mine, I'd have preferred a "Game Over". Now it seemed like I needed to find a secret hiding or so.

I don't know that it locks him out though and whether you do get another chance if you mess it up. Given it's main storyline I'd imagine the possibility has been covered and may have revealed itself.

Good to see you got it resolved anyway. :)
