So, in other words, it wasn't my fault, it was again the game's buggy fault... Amazing game but wayyy too many bugs...I spent way too much time going around in circles when it wasn't even my fault... When I reduced Patrick's dialog to just getting credit, I figured it wouldn't be him and endlessly searched elsewhere.. I hate using spoilers until I beat a game, so it is a good thing I moved on with the main quest... I had done the axe quest, talked to the king, etc etc... And why would anyone have to throw the letter and axe in front of the guards... If the game breaks a quest by its own rules of taking your weapons and armor away, it is their fault... I shouldn't have to work around everything because they have their own quests bugged... I am really looking forward to Riftrunner... but not if they end up patching it like this game... Why is a 1+ year old game still bugged like this? I purposely waited until they patched the game a bunch to play it, and considering they last patched the game in March or May.... It seems unlikely they will do it again... My first complaint was that my Radeon card would fail the directx test, which apparently is a known bug that they never managed to fix... SO I was stuck using Directdraw which would crash my game every hour or so... It wasn't until I learned that directx would still work that I used it and my game stopped crashing as much... I understand that they are a new underfunded developer... but I still don't being frustrated by bugged quests... I could deal with the spelling errors though...
