NPC Puzzle Quest - The Matchmaker

[tojamn]

I've had this quest pop up several times now and I have yet to discover a proper solution for it. Has anyone been able to complete it successfully?

An npc female offers a quest to help her find a husband. She's interested in a fireman so I move over to the fire station and click on the fireman. The woman finds him unsuitable and thinks a policeman might be a better option. I go to the police station and click on the man there. The woman again finds reason for this man not to be an acceptable mate. She says find someone more fun at the pub so you go and click on one of the patrons there. The message I received is that this man will do - for now. At this point the quest is removed from the quest tracker and there is no completion dialogue. After about 30 minutes I get a pop up from the female NPC saying something like "I thought you said you would help me" and a quest failed message.

I've attempted to figure this out on my own but got to a point it felt futile. Searches using the terms anno 1800 puzzle quest the matchmaker have resulted in nothing but a waste of time.

Hopefully someone here will read this and provide an answer. I offer my thanks and gratitude to anyone that can do so in advance.

Hi there,
i did this quest a couple of days ago. After the fireman, policeman, and pub patron i clicked on the quest locator again and got a guy at the dock. This completed the quest for me. I hope this helps.

Were you still able to see the quest in the quest tracker? Mine disappears soon after I get the completion dialogue for the 3rd prospect.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing something wrong with my dock design that is bugging out this quest.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Mate,
I cannot remember if quest was still up or if i clicked on a portrait pop up, but at some stage there i could still see quest, hence being able to click the locator icon, I do remember having to pan around clicking every person in sight. Kept getting the building instead of npc's. Then suddenly quest was complete. Sorry i couldn't be of more help, the more i think on it the more vague i get :(. I have since started a new game and if i happen to get it again ill pay more attention, hopefully someone else will be of better value before then.

@Kruv - I did several save reloads to see if anything "new" would happen and I found that if I clicked the X on the npc's dialogue at each stage sometimes but not always the dialogue for the 4th suitor would appear. The quest is still bugged out for me at that point and vanishes from the quest notification box. If I let the game run for 30 minutes the failed message still pops up though.

Thanks for the responses. My curiosity is pretty well satisfied for the moment.

Ive ran into the same problem ive fixed the issue it occurs when it comes to the dock
Ive switched the language to english and

By changing the position of the trading post and various other buildings on the beach then it worked finally!

Make saves ahead before accepting the quest. 👍😊
