"The Man Who Waits" - Azo attacking you ruins quest

[Xel]

Hi - so I don't know if this is intentional or not, but if so, it's really bad and will make me lose 15 hours of gameplay so I don't screw up the quest.

 

During The Man Who Waits, I talked to Theos. Then, after the cutscene and fighting my way through some guys, I talked to Azo and told him I wasn't going to keep silent about his experiments. He attacked me.

 

Now, when I go upstairs, everyone in the room attacks me, I lose a ton of reputation, and I can't talk to Ethelmoer - he says "you've done enough". I really stupidly don't have a save anywhere close to this point and quicksaved AFTER killing Azo, so I'm going to have to go back 15 hours if there's no way to fix this. I'm willing to put in whatever console commands necessary to fix it, I don't care about achievements.

 

Please help!

 

Savegame is here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx1zZ4oCxO7eU0pxVzNpYi0yZVE/edit?pli=1

Hi all,

 

I can confirm this issue. I have the same problem. A fix for it would be great. Otherwise I also lose 10 hours of gameplay.

 

Thanks in advance

Till now I don't read a helpful workaround. Keep this thread in sight

I have the same problem albeit it went a little differently.

 

 

 

 

1) I go to the kid in North ward (Uscgrim) and I talk with his soul/whatever

 

 

2) conversation ends, purple light shoots out of him into the closest flesh golem, and chains to 2 more down the halfway

 

 

3) fight starts with the flesh creatures and ward patients (gram, ilmeman etc. ), uscgrim is dead

 

 

4) I proceed to the big room with patients and wights attack me instead

 

 

5) I go down the south hallway to Azo and choose to kill him

 

 

6) I go back to the mess hall (where the wights where) and now there are bugged NPCs (stuck mid animation)

 

 

7) kill some more flesh golems

 

 

8 )go back to the section with the Valirian animancer and 2 other animancer NPCs (they are NOT hostile)

 

 

9) go back up the stairs and everyone is hostile in the Sanitarium (guards, backer NPCs etc.). Ruins my reputation in the city

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do we have a solution?

Awesome. Did this quest a few moments ago. 

It was a little weird, but I didn't think it was a bug.

I'm "a bit" upset now considering all the other bugs I've encountered today.

Sigh. This happened to me as well. So many bugs im coming across, its ruining my experience playing.

The worst part for me was the Raedric's Hold crash. Had to edit my savegame with WinRAR.

I got that one too

You can sneak passed the upstairs without killing more than 1 guy with only a small amount of stealth. (The one guy won't make you lose reputation either because noone will see you kill him) Just walk 1 character at a time to the exit in stealth.

Just a work-a-round I used to avoid the reputation hit.

 

Though a fix from Obsidian would be nice.
