Captain Bernard (still) gets stuck in Neuhof?

[DangerDavey]

It's late 2019.. and Captain Bernard still gets bugged and stuck in Neuhof (preventing further training). What gives?

And yes, Ginger quest is done, have tried to rest/save/reload without a change.

Is there a console command to give you the mastery training moves? Would appreciate any help!

It's probably something you're doing that you shouldn't be doing, or something that you're not doing that you should be.

I've played past that point several times in both regular and hardcore, and captain Bernard seems just fine and not particularly buggy.

Assuming that you aren't using some weird mod that messes up the internal mechanics of the plot engine, did you remember to try to play realistically ? He tells you at several points to keep reporting back to him, and I'm pretty sure that if you don't it will mess things up.

Did Bernard send you to Radzig, he is now leaning against the veranda wall at first building. Once you head off on the quest assignment he gives you. Later on go back to Rattay and the training field after about 10 am Bernard was there for me and I could again train with him.

Never was an issue for me. There's always a possibility of some rare random glitch occurung, but most of 'can't find Bernard' complaints on the forums had explanation.
It takes some time for him to travel from Neuhof to Rattay.
When in Rattay he's not always at the arena, but goes to lunch during the day regularly.
He's also involved in some other quests.

Nope, I'm now several main quests later (after the fight against the big black-clad dude), and everyone else is moving on fine (Radzig too), but Bernard is still just lounging in the courtyard of Neuhof.

He will skill up swords/defence/axes for cash, and give me random tasks to kill bandits, but there aren't any options for sparring to get mastery etc. I've tried riding in to him, resting and moving about for two full weeks, aggroing him and surrendering... NOTHING works to get him to leave Neuhof.

There has to be a console command to "reset" a NPC, or perhaps force the old Ginger-quest to re-complete, or giving myself the mastery skills?

I have the same. Did You manage to fix it somehow?

SPOILERS:

You are supposed top talk to Bernard *before* going into the woods, and then, after finding the hoofpick, and after quizzing folks on the hoofpick and being told about the charcoal burners.

You can skip all of these, and only do the following - but he acts rather upset.

You need to talk to him once you find Ginger and relate Ginger's Story - he then tells you to talk to Sir Radzig, who is also in Neufhof, leaning againt the house. Bernard doesn't leave until you have talked to Radzig, *before* heading to Uzhitz.

The game might glitch if you head off to Uzhitz, before talking to Radzig - because Radzig then might head to Merhojed.

My suggestion - try talking to Radzig, since it is his progression that triggers Bernard to leave Neuhof. If radzig is not in Neuhof, he is probably in the military camp West of Merhojed
