All that Glisters quest branch

[ggttcc2]

After I am done Overseer's hand and got rid those two bandits in the camp near the forest, I was able to tell Ulrich to post a look out at the camp in case someone passes by. But I never found out if that actually impacts the quest in any way?

And there is another information you can get from Zach that he delivered the copper sheets at some chapel south of the forest. But the quest never registered that information and all I can find is a wayside shrine with nothing to interact with?

Has anyone else looked into these two leads and did anything actually happened afterwards?
I have a feeling that this quest was designed to be more complicated but in the end they botched it for some reason.

Wouldn't be surprised, some of the quests in the game are bit buggy and the events trigger in the wrong order etc. I thought the camp with the two soldiers WAS the place where Zach was delivering the copper?

When I was doing that quest, I sneaked into the camp at night, saw a bandit and promptly stealthkilled him, because that's how the typical bandit camps in the game work... didn't see anyone else there at the time, so I slept in one of the tents there until morning. When I woke up, there's the other dude having his breakfast by the bonfire, seemingly undisturbed by the fact his mate is lying dead by the fire and there's some random bloke (me) sleeping in the tent. And when I spoke to him he was feeling very helpful and told me all about what they're doing there.

Both Leads, from the Overseer and Zach, point to the same location (afaik) - the two guys camped in the woods - nothing else to do there once you have killed them and posted Ulrich.

It is possible that the devs had grander plans at one time - and then ended up tying them to the same location.

Your next step is to talk to Tobias Fafar and then the Master Engraver, and follow that lead.
