Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Bernard ring-interaction doesn't work after patch 4

Experienced this a couple of days ago and I did find at least two other players (on reddit) who reported the same thing.

Giving Bernard the correct code-phrase to obtain the ring did trigger the "NPC hands Tav an item"-animation while in dialogue mode, but when the dialogue ended, the ring was not in that character's inventory - and I didn't get an "item received"-pop up, either.

Double checked the party's inventory, but the ring wasn't there. Pick-pocketing seems to always fail on Bernard (at least for Shadowheart, lol), so I had to attack and kill him and all the animated armor-sets to loot the ring off his corpse.

I was kinda surprised that didn't break my Paladin's Oath, seeing how Bernard had just given me a nice robot-hug ...



S.

(Almost) the same thing happened to me.
- The option "These empty sheets..." caused the "handing over an item" animation. I did get a potion of greater healing, although there was no reward window or "item received" message or anything. My stack of potions just increased by one.
- The option "How can I trust..." has no effect. Bernard speaks his answering line, but there's no "handing over an item" animation, no quest reward window, and no ring on the table. It also didn't appear in my inventory.

I guess I won't finish the Arcane Tower until after this is fixed. I don't want to kill Bernard.

I have reported the bug with an affected savegame as described here: https://larian.com/support/faqs/how-to-submit-a-bug-report_85
Hopefully, this will help Larian identify the issue.
