Hello, I am doing my first playthrough and encountered a strange situation. It might be a bug, it might be I am missing something but I cant progress.
So I was following the main quest, lvl 2, going down the Caed Nua monastery basements after speaking with the statue lady upstairs, when I come upon a "shimmering barrier" blocking a doorway. One of the characters mentions that the sentinel spirit should know something about this. I agree and go upstairs to no avail - no new dialogue options with the statue. I run back, the barrier still there, I shrug and go off exploring the world.
At one point, I meet a fellow outside a blacksmith's who seemed to believe I have important business in Raedric's keep, to which I agree and the fellow bids farewell. Raedric's keep never appeared on my map and the fellow disappeared into the shadows.
So here I am lvl 3, all areas on the left side of the map explored, my two only quests are find Maerwald and go to Raedric's keep. I have no access to Redric's keep and a shimmering barrier is keeping me from Maerwald.
What am I to do?
