Bug Report: Little Joe Progression-Locked Side Quests

Well, darn it. You'll definitely lose the ability to finish these quests if you proceed to Threedom. 

The only other thing I can think of is if you have a local save copy and can overwrite the cloud save. And I'm not a console player, so I don't know how that works. @TTZ_Dipsy would probably have some insight into this.

If you can somehow revert to an earlier save and deliver the grubblegecker before you move on to Royam's battle, it should unlock. I'll work on escalating the issue - in the meantime, if you can't revert to a previous save I'm afraid the choices right now would be start over or move on to Threedom and just don't complete the subquests. If you have to move on, maybe you can make a backup copy of your save as it is right now so if the bug gets fixed you could play this part later. (again, no experience with consoles so I don't know if that's possible) 

I know that neither option would be attractive to me, hopefully someone else has some ideas? The good news is that I don't see anything in the achievements list related to completing all the subquests or completing either of these subquests, so you won't miss achievements if you move on.

This seems the only solution. It's ok for me. I don't have to 100% the game.

Thanks for your tipps and time. 🙏

I have run in to the exact same issue, also on Xbox Series X.

Here are a couple of screenshots, showing my quest progress, and the the in-game chat interaction blocking prompt.

I have also encountered the same problem, can't finish Save Little Joe or Confront Little Joe or trade with Little Joe

Not sure if this got solved however, if you give Seemore his eyes there should eventually be an answer that says something along the lines of "you got more business to do there". I went back and they were able to chat again! 🙂
