I restarted a new game after installing patch 3. The farthest I got till now was the goblin camp.
So, I've already done the first episodes a couple of times, and was heading for Nettie in the sacred grove, moving through all familiar terrain and actions.
Then after entering inside the square where the ritual is ongoing, I wanted first to look for the poet, because I found this conversation amusing.
Then something happened, and because I was on autopilot, I don't know what I did to trigger it. Attention was suddenly ceased in an epic baatle without warning.
But now all the druids (and even their wolves) are dead, and also some thieflings like the smith, who I needed to sell my stuff. The goblin captive (forgot her name) is also dead, so that's another substory gone. I didn't even get to speak to Kagha or Rath or Nettie. Everyone was dead before I entered the druid's chambers.
I 'm really curious how this happened. I was there and didn't see what was the trigger.
