Quest npc running away from me - help

[Al1X1RO]

So i have recently just tried out hunting since its the only skill i havent mastered yet and one guy in Rattay (one of skalitz refugees i believe) wanted me to bring him like 40 pieces of rabbit meat but whenever i meet him i get the reputation text and he starts running.

From what i remember i got stuck somewhere because of him and the only way i got out was to hit him. Either that or load old save in which i would lose a lot of time. Of course i managed to talk the guard down but ever since then he keeps running. I have very high rep in Rattay cuz i keep selling, buying etc etc but he keeps running away so i have no idea how to sort out the issue with him. I really would like to give him that meat and be done with the quest.

Try to hit him again and wait for a guard to ask you to pay. Pay him and this NPC should be calmed down.

perhaps consider rewriting this as "...and (the way i got out) was to hit him"

"only" implies no choice - but there is always more than one choice in this game, even when it bugs out

as a note, i have always found that Henry can glitch through NPCs, whenever i feel stuck. The NPCs grumble, but it does work much like shoving past someone - a long delay, then ur through

as far as clearing ur Reputation with an individual... well, if they wont talk to you, yeh it's not "punch them in the face" easy

Fortunately, most individual's perception of Henry is connected to another "group" perception - in this case, Skalitz Refugees in Rattay would be my first bet

So, i recommend doing things to improve ur reputation with the Skalitz Refugees

Here's some ideas:
- Thief Quests in Rattay from Refugee (pickpocket)
- Help Matthew and Fritz (multiple mini quests)
- Help Beran get his Treasure

Fortunately, Henry's "Reputation" with Individuals and groups is forever changing, generally shifting towards an average, or the individual shifting towards the Group - so hopefully it will also recover on its own

I know about going through npcs. I dont remember how exactly i got stuck but i basically couldnt move at all. I was thinking for a few minutes how to get out of it but hitting that guy was the only thing i came up with and it worked.

Anyways about the skalitz refugees i dont seem to have any other quest available. I did all i could for Fritz and Matt and i did all other quests i could find in Rattay..

oh right,,, i do understand the dilemma - the game gets buggy and locked sometimes - i have been stuck on a few occasions, and i've found reloading the game usually works

And i have definitely ruined Henry's reputation in several circumstances (sometimes on purpose)

Mostly, we can rely on the "averaging" behavior of all Reputations in a Group - outliers are always being adjusted towards the average (takes a few days).

i suspect the individual's perception of Henry will recover rather quickly on its own, especially if the Skalitz Refugee Reputation is above 60 or so (?)

In the future, try Fast Travel. It has worked for me when "stuck" with an NPC in the way.

i kinda doubt you can fast travel indoors. Tried that on many occasions with the result saying "you cant fast travel from here" or whatever it says in english cuz i play it in czech.

Dunno if it counts but i still havent started pribyslavitz dlc cuz i was saving up groschen for it, but as far as i remember you can offer Matt and Fritz a job there right? Maybe that could fix Skalitz refugees rep? If not i have no option but to find that guy, hit him in the face again and probably get locked up or pay fine. But i guess a fine if its going to fix everything.

Imagine an unprovoked attack from a known man-at-arms and killer - yet he keeps coming after you cause you once asked him for some meat...

oh no he wants to give me another beating and totally not the rabbit meat he asked for long time ago.

Well i had to spend 5 fkin days in jail but now i can talk to him. Jesuuuus.

That's OK. I once jumped off the horse to help guards fighting off some bandits, and then got arrested and spent 10 days in jail for murder. I guess I might have hit some of the friendlies by accident.

:lunar2019laughingpig:

Happened something similar, but it didnt put me in jail or anything. I was doing the dlc with Kuno and his group, the final quest. Been losing my mind over it cuz i tried so many times to keep everyone alive because the guy Stone was fighting with his hands. Not sword or anything, F KING HANDS.

After numerous retries i finally managed to save everyone. Everyone sheated their weapons and few seconds after that the whole Kunos group went after me. Managed to run away and when i returned to them they didnt really seem to give an f about me so all well. Not sure why i was attacked tho cuz as far as i remember i didnt hit any ally.
