Sev's dead baby

[AffidavitAphid]

For Aza's companion quest, Stabbing at Shadows, every time I speak to Aza at/around the place where we are to rendezvous with her old friend Severin she only barks the following line:

"I told Severin to meet us at a spot near here, let's keep moving."

 Therein lies the problem: Severin is already dead - we have already beat him and his lackeys. She will say and do nothing else at/around this area. I am stuck at this part of the quest without any means to progress.

After I had beaten Severin and his lackeys the dialogue (w. Aza) which was suppose to trigger emerged (faded from black) before abruptly cutting out of dialogue prematurely. I know what is set to happen as I tried it with my second character. My first character can't seem to get over this glitch and progress.

Was hoping the latest update (1.0.6.0) would fix this. Frustrating that I can't proceed with my favourite companion's arc.
