Act 2, the Chieftain's Son told me to talk to Alchemist and there is no cut scene or when I click on him nothing, any suggestions?

When you talk to who?? The Chieftain's son or the Alchemist?

When I try to talk to Alchemist he does nothing

If you found the Alchemist then you have the quest to find him. There should be 2 other Imps in his cave, try talking to them first and then the ALchemist. He should talk to you...

I talked to the other two Imps and then went over to Alchemist and he does nothing.

That is very strange. The Alchemist should talk to you and ask you to find 3 items. Try exiting his cave and enter it again. If he is still not talking to you, then you might want to reload your last save and try to get the quest to find him again.

He should start a conversation as you approach. Maybe save the game under a new name (a temporary save), and try the workaround for the now-fixed bug with the cure ingredients (finding and moving them in your inventory before speaking to the alchemist, causing a quest entry to be updated prematurely, so a cut scene was not triggered).

[*] If you have a save before finding the alchemist's ingredients and moving them, copy the 2 story.* files from that save into your latest save, otherwise you can use these files from a save at the beginning of the imp village.
[*] Talk to Altoflix in the north of the village (if required), then the chieftain's son to get the quest to find the alchemist, talk to the alchemist once (only) and head to the cave.

If this works, you will have to reload a previous save, complete all other quests, and then perform this procedure again (changing story files may interfere with completing partially done quests).
