Lucanis ACT 1 Companion Quest is Bugged: Bidding Farewell
So I do want to say I have had to start over, I was 30 hours into my first save, because I missed a companion quest and realize they are important for late game. So I decided to just start over. I’ve been looking into how to romance characters and keeping them alive while trying to stay as spoiler free as possible, but did see about how the choice for Minrathos and Treviso can cause bothe Lucanis and Neve to harden depending on which you choose. I chose Treviso in my first playthrough and plan to do it on my second because A, I decided to pick being a Crow as a background and B, I wanted to Romance Lucanis. People were saying that if you didn’t pick Treviso it would lock you out but now that I’m back and doing his first couple of companion quests, I realized something. The Bidding Farewell Companion Quest does NOT trigger as complete. So essentially not only does it lock you of of the Hero status for end game, but I also think it locks you out of the romance as well. Can anyone confirm to me whether this quest is complete for them? It’s the quest where you go to the little get together for the first Talon. I also checked my old save file and it isn’t marked as a Completed Quest there either.
Hair color keeps changing
I’m playing Veilguard on PS5, and I have a medium blonde preset hair color. It changes constantly depending on the lighting (despite looking fine in the different lighting options of character creation); for instance, sometimes it’s black, other times it’s brown, etc. The game seems to be running fine otherwise, but the hair color changing wildly is frustrating! Just wanted to report it in case others were experiencing it as well.
Quest 'Cornered in the Catacombs' can't be finished - PS5
I went into Aulas hideout and my objective is to kill all the darkspawn, but the darkspawn keep infinitely respawning. I've been fighting darkspawn for about 15 irl minutes now with no end in sight and no other way to progress the quest. I tried reloading a save and leaving and entering the hideout, to no avail.
Necropolis Cascades chest locked by a wisp issue
There's a chest in the Necropolis halls - Cascades which is located behind a door locked by a wisp mech that is resolved from doing the braziers on the room to the right (The Spectral Court). It is where you have to Interact with a coffin and light up the braziers on a certain sequence to complete the puzzle. After lighting up the puzzles, I was able to get the coffin's rewards but the wisp does not spawn/follow for me to open the chest back in the Cascades. Am I missing something or is this a known issue?Overlapping festivals
The festivals from City Living keep stacking on top of one another instead of despawning. My SIM lives in 19 Culpepper House and I play on an Xbox One. I do not use any CC or mods as I am a console player I first noticed this bug yesterday 20/8/24 but it has escalated today, I tried going into manage worlds and back, visiting different lots and festival locations, and restarting the game. None of these have worked. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit the AHQ Bug report.
