I played the game my own way (not really knowing what I was doing and exploring a lot) and somehow I got from the rolling stone quest to the dark forest quests. And no matter how many times I talk to lothar I cant to get to the quest that gets me to the goat tribe, or most quests between that and rabid wolf (with the exception of fluff and tuff and mutual apothecary agreement quests). I think I'll just go back to the rolling stone quest and try again which kinda sucks, but I see that I skipped a lot of content.
