Villager forced me out of fast travel on the way past merhojed

[Qwertion]

Said the plague is raging there, don't go. I stopped doing main quest after killing runt , yet that's something from the next quest I think. Is that a bug? I went past him and fast traveled past merjoed, afraid entering it normally would softlock me.

That villager keeps doing that until you finish the Pestilence quest, but he won't start a conversation after the first time.

[Qwertion]

Didn't start the first time either. He just said his lines and stood in place without initiating a conversation.

[Peyhah]

Well my bad then, he doesn't start a convo. My memory is a bit hazy.

From game logic perspective Pestilence is a side quest that starts right after Baptism of Fire is over. Next main quest is Questions and Answers, it's tied with Pestilence but technically they're 2 different quests.

From story perspective the events of Pestilence start because of battle of Pribyslavitz, independently from Henry reporting to the lords and receiving next task.

In short, not a bug.

So it's just this guy. Merhojed is fine and I want softlock myself out of story line if I enter it, right?

[Qwertion]

Actually, you do talk to him, but the prompt only appears when you start the quest. Got that out of my way. Guy kept interupting my fast travels to pribyslavitz every time.

well i know this is many years later but I believe it is in fact a bug because that NPC keeps interupting your fast travels EVEN after all these quests are completed. I have finished Questions and Answers and Perstilence as well. This NPC is STILL there and still interupting fast travels when going through that road. He started doing this during Pestilence , and never stopped even long after the quest is finished.

That's god's punishment for generation '5 minute attention span' who can't be arsed to to ride on their horse manually for 3 minutes. Everyone with half a brain should have noticed by now that fast-travel is a bollocks idea. It's slower than if you ride there manually, and it throws you into ambushes that you would have seen from a mile out if you had bothered to just use your horse.
