Neera's Broken Sidequest

edited December 2012 in Not An Issue
Several variations of this have been reported on the forums I saw, but none completely identical to mine.

I receive Neera's request to go visit Adoy. I enter the area and the goblin escorts me to the cave without incident.
I fight my way to Adoy's chamber and conclude the initial dialogue without error. When the red wizards show up, I kill them all and Adoy initiates dialogue with me.
This is where things begin to fail.
After my first response, there seems to be a skip in the dialogue where Adoy responds with something akin to "Perhaps this will help"- To a none prompted question. He then hands me an unidentified belt and concludes the dialogue.
Now Neera initiates dialogue (Presumably to initiate her quest lines), but it's a standard prompted companionship dialogue, ("I've been thinking about you, [player].")
When I conclude the talk, Adoy is gone and nothing further happens. I recieve no quest xp, no other rewards, Neera makes no further comments and Identifying the belt reveals just a standard non-magical girdle without unique properties.

Leaving the cave, I am unable to talk with any of the goblin NPC's either...

Guys, something is not right here.
Please hot-fix.

Can anyone walk me through what is supposed to happen?

    This exact thing happened to me. Additionally, the ranger in the north seemed to have a quest, but i didt get anything in the journal or exp. Perhaps it is linked to this? I buried the body, but didnt get a ring (in the cave). Is the romance screwed now? :(

    Same with me, in chapter 5 now and she hasn't talked to me since, and Rasaad hasn't talked to me since I first got him, any idea how to start his quest?

    You're not the only one.

    Just a friendly reminder. Don't throw away the belt immediately. Equip it and take a look at your saving throws first.

    After today's patch I re-tried the battle and while I'm not entirely sure the dialogue is working as intended or not, Neera initialised the correct dialogue this time, I was able to correctly identify the belt as Adoy's and my journal was updated.

    Yay!

    Thanks. I been looking for a way to download it without the luncher, but it seems it's that or nothing.
    I'm going to keep looking for a link or something.

    @Morrinn , might want to report here:

    Please note the "Current Behavior" and "Expected Behavior" formats the OP describes when recording your bug.

    I hadn't gotten to the Neera sidequest before the patch -- it happened after the patch. So, from scratch, I can report that the girdle identifies correctly and that particular quest gets closed out (though still not others -- the journal seems to have the most bugs, as others have reported.

    However, Adoy's dialog is still messed up, as is Magreb's (the guy with the missing wife in the same area). Magreb basically assumes that I've decided to find his wife's body even though no such quest was ever offered to me, and immediately at our first meeting after I mention killing the goblins, he asks me if I've found her yet.

    Since my paladin is not interested in romancing a CN wild mage anyway, I dropped Neera after her quest completed since I'm slightly worried that other bugs may follow her around (ironic, since that basically describes wild magic anyway).

    I had the very same problem. Also the girdle's description, once identified, said only this:

    Title: Missing String [#31846]
    Description: Missing String [#31837]

    its a weird inconstant bug. my version is thus:

    Adoy speaks of treasure after killing the red wizards and i receive NOTHING. i then talk to Neera who does her usual 'ive been thinking about you, come to my tent next time we camp ;)' thing. i then (in a half asleep daze, its 4:00 am at this point) just start spam talking to her and clicking random options. then suddenly she initiates the right dialogue. i reload and check again, to find out that i can only initiate the correct dialogue if i pick and insulting or impatient answer from the 'ive been thinking about you' dialogue tree.

    weird huh?

    I couldn't leave Adoys room after the fight, I had to teleport out

    The belt seems to be magical and unidentified in beta (so expect a future patch will fix it).
    The german translation wa registered.
    The locked door needs more info, i cannot reproduce this, probably it is already fixed in beta.

    The quest worked okay for me but that ranger keeps asking me if I've found his girlfriend's body and I can't find it anywhere! There's a set if armour and potions next to the table in the cave - was she supposed to be there?

    I've played that quest already and other than the things I've mentioned it worked fine.

    So try this: In the cave near some treasure lies a body with some equipment on it (leather armour, short swords, bow I believe). Pick it up to get it out of the way, then hover the cursor over the body. It should change to the two arrows forming a circle, indicating you can perform some kind of action there. Just click to decide what to do.

    Ok, moving this to non-issue as the original problem was solved.
