I also have the bug...
140 +Hours played, and Cullen straight left the game. I have tried just about everything.
I also have the scout in the room, makes a comment when I pick up the parchment.
I am trying to do the required quest before I go on and lose the ability to do it. So for me, this is the first time in god knows how long that I am really stuck permanently and the game is indeed broken completely.
What sucks is, this completely leaves you hanging, I am definately not doing another play through to try and avoid.
This needs to be fixed asap, its game breaking bug.
PC Version. No issues with instability or crashing. Game plays great! Just crafted a 144dps staff for my main char too ☹️
Funny, I just got the provide feedback email for this game, YES I HAVE SOME FEEDBACK! FIX THIS ASAP!
Keep bumping this thread until fixed!!
