Conditions under which "A Lovely Drop" cannot be completed (spoiler-free)

[brittmayo]

Description:

Under some conditions, the quest "A Lovely Drop" becomes uncompleteable and you have to fall back to a previous save and replay.

 

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

- Obtain the bottle from the basement

- Deliver it to the patron

- Set off to Russetwood to complete another quest

- While in Russetwood, gather all of the available items

- When you return to town, talk to the bartender who requests certain items

- Since the items no longer exist in Russetwood, and were not "quest items" at the time you gathered them so they are not in your inventory, you have no way forward.

 

 

 

 

A save game in which the problem can be seen is at https://www.dropbox.com/s/wre15t3s48smkl2/1808f900cd97435381c9e0ca76b01188%2014654586%20StalwartVillage.savegame?dl=0

Is there any way to resolve this quickly short of going back and replaying?

I killed all the Ice Trolls in Russetwood prior to receiving the quest, and no heart was dropped. Since the mobs are dead, the quest therefore seems to be impossible to finish. I'm rather upset(

Oh nevermind. As it happens, you get an extra special troll with a heart of ice after you receive the quest.
