Im stuck on this main quest,

Its very long, so I made the antidote and gave to the village, waited a days and talking to the residence they have recovered.

I have to interrogate the captive. How do I find the captive? The area is massive and no one is talking about him. So atm im stuck on how to continue

Once you have distributed the medication, go back to Melichar's house and speak to him. He will open the shed they're keeping the bandit in. Tehn you can admisiter the medicine to the bandiit too. But you have to do it on the same day, else the bandit will kick the bucket and you'll have to dig up his corpse to get the letter from him, and if you can't read in that case ... well, you're buggered, I think, unless Radzig reads it for you, but that is one of the few things I haven't tried yet.

this is the issue I cannot speak to any of the main characters in the village to find the captive, there isnt an option to talk to him or anyone else, I found the town watch guard, said I cannot see him I have to speak to melichar, but again no option to talk to him.

Then you forgot something along the way. Here is how you go about it. It takes only two days:

- Arrive at Merhojed in the early morning. Speak to one or both NPC's at the stud farm. They will tell you all you need to know and trigger the quest 'Pestillence'.

- Go inside the stables and speak to Matthias

- Go and find Melichar and speak to him. Offer to help.

- Go to the house next to the stables. You'll find Bedrishka and her dead husband. Help her bury her husband. Talk to her and she'll tell you about his symptoms.

- across the street is the trader. He's delirious. Pretend to be his brother and you'll lern he's constantly thirsty.

- Go to Straw's house. He's pissed out of his skull. Pass the speech check and check on his wife. She's feverish

- Go to Melichars house, check on his wife, she won't talk to you.

- Go to the last house on the right. Vincent will tell you, he's been crapping down his leg all day, and if you can read, you also get the chance to write his last will, triggering the quest 'Last will and testament.'

- Across the street from Vincent's house are Valerian and thistle plants - pluck some of them.

- Ride to Sasau monastry. If you don't have any on you, buy some charcoal from the trader in Samopesh on the way.

-Speak to Johanka. She'll send you to Nicodemus. He'll tell you to read a book. If you paid attention to the symptoms you were told, you'll find out - it's poisoned water. Speak to nicodemus again and get the recipe. He and Johanka will bugger off to Merhojed.

- make the potion. One is enough.

- Ride to the tavern in Sasau town. Wait or advance time until 1600. Vincent's son Elija shows up and you can bamboozle him into visiting his father.

- Go to the church and give the testament to father fabian. Pocket a sweet 200 quid and hightail it back to Merhojed. Speak to Nicodemus (in Straw's house).

- Now deliver the medicine to all houses you visited earlier. Don't forget anyone.

- Go back to Melichar's house. Since it is probably past 2000 by now, he's usually sleeping on a bench. Just wake him up. He'll show you where the bandit is and you can give the medicine to the bandit.

- It's late. Have a moonshine and got to sleep in either Talmberg or Ledtechko.

- Come back the next morning, go to the shed and interrogate the bandit. Then either let Straw kill him or beat the crap out of straw and deliver the bandit to Rattay prison.

That's from memory. but I'm pretty sure I didn't forget anything. I've played that one dozens of times.
