Hello, there. Had seen this a few times but, recently, finally gave it a go and it’s been real fun.
With projects in progress it can be hard to determine if you’ve reached an unmarked end of content or had an issue but I think I ran into the latter.
I believe I’m close to the end of the main plot for now, I’ve wrapped up Gobapatra’s quest in the south and came back to Hubtown when I accidentally had two quests overlap with troublesome results.
Back in Hubtown I’ve triggered the start of the “defend the farm” quest but while wandering around town to prepare, I also triggered the deflation quest for Anvil. Wanting to tie up loose ends before advancing, I followed Anvil around and, eventually, she needs to go to the Farm Girl for help. THIS, I believe, got the game in a bit of a bind because I think both quests clashed to trigger on map entry.
Anvil won, I had her event play out but when it was done, I got spawned back in the map in the middle of the barn, behind the door. This initially meant I was trapped in collision and had to use the debug item to move. This would’ve been a minor inconvenience but I think it also messed up the main quest flags. Farm Girl is gone from the map altogether and I don’t get the event to trigger on a reenter.
I’ve tried rezoning, resting in the house, talking to the Mission Madame again… no luck, pretty sure I’m softlocked at this point. Going into the quest journal, the next active one shows the Layer’s Helmet as marker but cannot be interacted with. I’m pretty sure I’ve got a save near the end of Gobapatra or just after so, may have dodged a bullet here but, otherwise, this would’ve been a pretty sour note to end on
EDIT: oh no… my last safety save was before even going to the sneks. Urgh, help me cheat mode
A second bugged instance I ran into earlier is that during the Smith Girl big cutscene repairing the hammer and whatnot I had some strange behaviour. The menu became active at some point while the scene was still playing and after the scene was done the main game screen never came back. This would, perhaps, have been the time to use the other debug item but I didn’t remember it at the time. A little close and restart action got me back on track
All in all, having quite a bit of fun with this one, more than I expected, tbh. Looking forward to the conclusion =3
