The Hunt Begins Bug

[MiamiVibePL (✿ ♡‿♡)]

In quest ,,The hunt begins", I need to go to the forest where there are two bandits. I kill one of them, but the other one stands upright, and I cannot trigger the quest dialogue with him. The only thing I can do is perform a mercy kill, but it doesn't work because he keeps standing upright. I've tried everything. I reloaded the save multiple times. Before heading to the forest, I informed the commander and received a companion, but it didn’t help. I also went with the commander and a large group, but they just stand near the upright bandit and do nothing. Is there any way to progress in this quest? I'm exhausted from trying and am considering uninstalling the game.
In the link, there's a screenshot showing which bandit I mean.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

That bandit is supposed to die on his own after you talk to him. This is definitely some mod messing up your game. I've played that mission often enough. There was never anything to indicate a bug.

I don't have any mods. I try to stay as close to them as possible in the bushes, but the bandit who is supposed to die after talking to me keeps standing upright and is not injured. He behaves exactly like a casually standing NPC

How come there is a Rattay guard there? Did you go back to Bernard while the bandit was still alive?

I've tried all possible scenarios and actions. No matter what I do, that bandit keeps standing, and I can't search him to progress the storyline

I cant even get that far. Game refuse to register i have talked to all the survivors or looked around. A/B still shows as undone.

Only way to get this quest line done was loading a save.
now the game refuse to aknowledge i killed the two bandits in the follow up quest with Ginger.
