I killed the coal-burners by mistake. Are they never coming back? lol

I think I broke the game... It's the ginger misstion, btw.

you'll probably have hurt yourself in the future (if you have From the Ashes DLC.. no further spoilers) but ultimately you can always find what you're looking for, if you explore by yourself. you'll have it much harder but that's the way you chose.

i don't know for sure, but i bet they will respawn at some point. they may not be friendly, though, NPCs tend to remember previous transgressions.. wayfarers do.

well, Ginger's location only illuminates after discussion with the right coalburners.

but even if you killed the right coalburners, GInger might still be at the location, and maybe if you find him there you can skip past needing the coalburners ??

otherwise, there is a normal respawn timer of about 10-14 game days - so skipping forward several days (while in a zone far far away) might fix ur problem.

and last choice is loading a previous save. (before the "accidental" murder)

You can still ask other charcoal burners. As far as I know, it's impossible to lock yourself out of the main quest. There are always leads for you to follow up on.

Theres always several ways to finish a mission, especially mainquest. I dont think you can really soft lock your self from a main quest. Side quest though, you can lock your self out aka fail several of them. BUT theres almost always many ways to finish a quest. On this aspect, its a like like Those gothic/elex/risen games were theyll have many ways to finish a quest.

Also how the flippers do you "accidentally" kill someone lmao. Generally itll take more than 1 hit to kill someone, especially at the level youd be with that quest lol.
