The Die is Cast

[vyraka]

So, I'm on the Die is Cast and have entered Vranik and scouted around. However, when I go to the house that Erik is supposed to be in, I can't get in. There is a Use (E) button on the door, but it does nothing when I click it or even hold it down. This is pretty game breaking, and I'm frustrated because I don't know how to fix it.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix? I tried reloading a game before entering Vranik but that didn't fix the problem.

Thanks!

I'm not at that part of the main story yet unfortunately. I'll let you know if I get there really soon, though.

did you scout all 4 things in Vranik camp? Henry talks about broken wall section, strong inner walls, where bandits eat and comments on how many there are in the whole camp. Then you should be able to get to Erik.

I never even got that far, tbh. I got beat up by the guards while trying to lockpick a trunk and they brought me straight to a cut-scene. Try that. Other times I just picked fights for the heck of it.

There might be something the game wants you to do before you go into that house, but in three successive playthru's I've never done it. Pick fight - get beat up - meet Eric.

Yes, I did all those things - it's say I have completed it.

God forbid.

I recall a door just like that at the top of the hill. But, have you looked to the left when you're trying to open that door?

There is a set of upright poles to the left--sort of a walkway. At the end of those poles is another door and that's where Erik is.

I made the same mistake when i played that part and it made me really, really want to come here and rant about bugs in the game.

Well I definitely remember the time I wanted to come here and talk out of my mouth sideways without addressing anyone directly like a little ♥♥♥♥♥, lmao.

(Edit: Come on, you gotta admit that was a good one.)

1. Getting beat up by the guards is an option, but I don't like that one because I miss stuff.

2. You are correct, I was at the wrong door. I went to the left, there is a door between the other two buildings and Erik is inside.

Thank you everyone for your help!

Now that's better. No need to beat around the bush, we're not the only two who can see our replies (or rather, the occasional lack of).

You're welcome... we've all been there.

Well, IMO, you're wrong about that, too. I've seen some really thoughtful, generous and rational people be banned here for getting caught up arguing with trolls (although I've also seen people blatantly using gratuitous expletives and foul language, and ad hominem attacks and even threats, with no consequences).

For the record...it seems to me if people are trying to help you and you reject their advice out of hand... well, frankly, I don't know why anyone continues to engage--it's the definition of insanity.

I don't often talk to individuals (and when I do I generally quote them) but rather I talk to 'concepts', as who should say. Apropos of being a shoemaker I'm partial to "If the shoe fits, wear it."

In any case, I am not particularly inclined to insult anyone personally nor am I eager to get banned... again.

[fingers crossed]

Yikes, you probably didn't mean it this way but your comment in full context seems like you're describing yourself as "thoughtful, generous and rational". Just saying, it seems like a weird thing to say, lol.

You can't seriously say you yourself weren't coming across as slightly antagonistic when you came in constantly suggesting that every ingame-hiccup was entirely my fault. Them's fightin' words.

(Also I have to go to bed because I'm literally on the other side of the world from you, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ round earth.)

Simply put, I am just tired of people coming to this forum to bad-mouth the game and the devs (often with vitriol right out of the gate) and then disappearing after they've fully vented their rage or discovered that the problem wasn't as they imagined or described it.

I don't know the exact circumstances of anyone's problems. Maybe what seems to me and others to be singular 'bugs' (that don't seem to be widespread or affect anyone else) really is God's retribution and has no logical explanation except "it sucks to be you."

But I think it is premature, if nothing else... maybe even rash... to embrace excuses and victimhood even before looking for solutions closer to home.

As for being "thoughtful, generous and rational" I'll leave that judgement for others (I wasn't necessarily talking about myself) but 'laying about with the dull sword of ignorance' is none of those things.

I was doing neither--I was not "suggesting that every ingame-hiccup was entirely my fault" not was I being antagonistic.

TBH, I am 75 years old. I don't have anything to prove. One of the great joys of being old is that I've found an authenticity that too many, IMO, never see the value of.
