Re: Unable to finish The Mercenary Fortress

My husband has this bug as well. He and I are at the same point in the main storyline. He's done more of the quests in the Hinterlands than I. For him, there are no outlaws around in southwestern Hinterlands, the quest does not update when standing at the entrance of the fortress, and the fortress is empty.

We suspect that completing Varric's personal quest in Valamarr before going to the fortress bugs the quest.

Oddly, he can jump off the top of the fortress into the water, and some outlaws spawn near the bridge. No other outlaws spawn. Unfortunately that doesn't trigger the quest to update.
