Why does Larian need to fix it? There's a clear way to get the controller, even if it's one you don't want to take.
Because then it's not a CRPG. I shouldn't be forced to play a specific way in order to do the 'right' thing. As it turns out you don't have to join them, just chat with the guys in the cave then go talk to Arhu. It's inelegant but it works.
Unfortunately I'm starting to see how more and more of this game was made by the designers to be played the way they think it should be played. Now that I'm past my initial excitement and looking at it with an objective, critical eye this game has a great many flaws. The saving grace is that the community may address them with the editor.
