I've been waiting on a hotfix for about 2 weeks now, I've figured that skipping the quest you would miss out on 200k xp so I think its worth the wait as long as its not too long. I've been in contact with Larian Studios and they told me 1 week ago that a hot fix should take a week or two as long as the issue is code based and not data. I'm going to give it another week or so and then skip the quest. They are coming up on a new release soon so I wouldn't be surprised if a hotfix takes longer than it normally would.
