Hi Team,

I just wanted to return the Staff of Pergamon. It was in the possession of one of my characters, but not the main character. So the option to return it did not show up in the dialogue menus. I had to manually switch it to my main character to solve the quest.

Is this a bug or can the complete group be scanned to see if anyone got the quest item?

Thank you.

Not a bug - this is the way it works with keys as well.
Then I kindly ask to change this irritating behavior hehe Please!

As I understand it, this behaviour is because of the co-op nature of the game. There are other things that don't work unless they are on the speaking character, like gold at vendors. Additionally, when you Sneak, only that character Sneaks, rather than the entire party.

It annoys me as well - moving gold from character to character so they can buy or repair or identify items is tedious.

It would be great if the game treated linked characters as one unit for these things.
