My description was just to say there are other ways the quest can be done successfully. Even following the same procedure, apparently there is no guarantee everything will go well. I don't know what the problem was in this case.

No, but you did say you hoped Beyond Divinity would not have such poorly designed quests. The length of this quest makes it relatively easy to do things out of expected order. This is the main, though not exclusive, cause of it being broken. With Beyond Divinity in 4 acts, the number of quests open simultaneously should be reduced, making it easier for the Larians to make sure there are no problems doing things in various sequences.
