Why did I fail the quest "Xardas the Necromancer"?

[JohnJSal]

I just noticed this quest in my failed section, so it's too late to go back and retry it. It says I chose not to tell Saturas about what Xardas told me, but when I spoke to Saturas I didn't have many options.

I even said something like "It's not what you think it is," because this sounded like I *would* tell him the truth, but nothing much came of it. The only other options were "no" and "well...", neither of which made much sense.

This bugs me that I have a failed quest, especially since my intention was to do exactly what the failure message says I didn't do, ie tell Saturas the news about the Sleeper, etc.

So how do you complete this quest? What was I supposed to say?

Thanks.

Its impossible to complete, doesnt matter what you said.

[JohnJSal]

Oh wow, that makes me feel a lot better! But that's a weird quest design!, :-)

[DonTonberry]

Maybe its weird, but I think its also very good. It makes sense that hero, can "fail" something in the story, and putting that in "failed" section is a good, immersive thing in role playing game.

But I agree, they could give you a choice, to tell the truth or not.

[JohnJSal]

Yes, but in this case even intending to do what the quest requires (tell Saturas) doesn't seem to work. I don't mind the ability to fail a quest as long as I know I'm doing it, but in this case it's either poor design or a bug. It's not very realistic if we *never* have the option to tell Saturas the truth.

Well GI&II story is mostly linear anyway.

The thing is there is a lot of unfinished content in G1. First one you notice is abandoned mine (not sure how it's called in English version - the first one you see after the game beginning), another one is Quentin with his gang near the Diego's troll location, also Chromanin, and you can find much more if you dig in the game files. Creativity met deadlines =)

Chromanin quest works fine, but i think it is too hard.

It was supposed to end differently.
