Looking for help/fix for a pretty serious bug I've enountered in Reckoning. Did a google search already and while a few people seem to be having the same issue, there isn't any other info.
When you get to The Midden area in the last third of the game, there is a Fae in front of a small camp of questgivers named "The Headsman" and as you get closer an NPC guard initiates a fight with him. He does not fight back the guard. If you don't talk to him before the guard strikes him both of them will be stuck in a perpatual battle loop, and can't be talked to or hit (even with the NPC kill flag set). If you manage to talk to him before the guard strikes him he asks you to fight him (as if he killed the guard) and turns hostile, if you then hit him The Headsman will trap you in a perpetual loop, asking you to take the first hit, constantly reinitiating conversation before you can get away. Breaking the game.
All the questgivers also refuse to talk to you because they're scared of him. Making their quests also unavailable if you avoid engaging the Headsman. Joy. It seems the NPC guard is supposed to die to the Headsman (from the dialogue) and then the Headsman would try to engage you. But since the Headsman refuses to strike the guard everything breaks and they are both invulnurable. Basically I'm unable to take the quests in the area because of this, or get stuck in a perpetual looping forced dialogue.
.
Since we are on topic of bugged quests anyway. Has anyone had a problem with the signboard quest to wipe out the 3 families in the rocky/desert area? I did 2 out of three but ther quest to wipe out the Cynrics seems bugged, I cleared the cave it points me to like the others, yet there is no1 left to kill inside.
