Not All Who Wait quest bugged

[earnest thistle]

When finding the door to the prison, the 2 companions fight the prison guards through the door, killing all 3. The guards drop retrievable loot and when all 3 are dead, a key drops. I wasn’t able to pick up the key and the quest stalls.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're trying to get inside the prison from castle normally through doors instead of going to the breech in the walls that is right next to the place where you meet 2 companions? Because you don't really need a key to free the mayor in this scenario

[earnest thistle]

Well, hell, that would explain a lot.

The entry is right there? I've followed those dudes all over the map.

Thank you

[earnest thistle]

Ok, so now killing the guards from inside and talking to the mayor, he doesn't want to be freed. But, the quest line says, "free the mayor?"

[analog bluff]

did you unlock the door?

[earnest thistle]

Yes, and went in the cell and tried every dialogue choice.

Tried every one of those.

[analog bluff]

Silly question, but did you press unlock door or open by any chance?

[earnest thistle]

First unlock, then open.

[analog bluff]

Then yeah, I guess need save

[earnest thistle]

I tried closing and unlocking and opening again to see if it would toggle. The first thing he says is, "thank god, someone finally opened that door."

[analog bluff]

Any other specific steps you did? Can't repro, unlocking door interaction progresses the quest for me on your save

and then I open the door and Sebastian goes where he should

[earnest thistle]

I'll try again. I don't think I did anything differently.
