Ailef does not become a prisoner

[Lukmar]

When completing the “Overstaying His Welcome” quest, I fought the slaver and then returned to Ailef, picking the conversation option of punishing his crimes by taking him as a prisoner. The dialogue response is appropriate, there is a fade to black in which Ailef disappears, but I never get the notification that I now have him as a prisoner in the Stronghold.

 

Returning to Caed Nua and going down to the dungeons likewise reveals them to be empty. I tried reloading a save and doing other things prior to completing the quest to see if it would fix the issue but to no avail.

Have you upgraded the dungeons yet? You need to upgrade the dungeons first before you can take prisoners.

Hi Bizkit

 

Yes, the dungeon has been completed. In fact, I had a prisoner escape already... which prompted me to finish all the security buildings before trying to go for another prisoner. Seems like Ailef did not care for the hospitality Caed Nua provides and decided to skip prison entirely.

Hello Lukmar,

 

I have loaded your save and imprisoned Alief. When I returned to Caed Nua, he was in the prison cell. Could you please upload a save where hes not in his cell? He was located in the bottom middle cell when I loaded your game. 

 

Thanks!

Hello Aarik

 

Thank you for your reply. I loaded a game where Ailef had been imprisoned and double checked every single cell in the dungeons. He is, indeed a prisoner (far left, bottom row of cells in my case).

 

However, both the Jailer and the Stroghold actions screen do not recognise his presence, as can be seen from the following screenshots

 

 

 

 

 

It is not a huge bug, though now I am confused as to whether the system recognises that Ailef is in fact a prisoner (so there is a chance he might escape or someone will come asking for him at some point) or not (he is visually present and can be interacted with, but from a Stronghold point of view that cell is empty and there is no action to be done with him).

You are absolutely right. You cannot release Ailef thought the actions menu, though I can speak with the Jailer and release him that way, but he doesn't actually leave the cell. I will write up a bug and enter it into our database.

 

Thank you for your support.

Thanks again for the prompt reply.

 

At my end, the dialogue option to release Ailef via the Jailer does not come up... but I guess it is a minor nit to pick with respect to the bug as a whole.
