So you can spend time with Tarben after finishing his personal request. He'd ask you to go fishing with him, which I did. He talked about his father while he's fishing. I caught some too (five of them). When he stopped fishing, I also stopped. But he'd just stand there. I can't escape from the fishing area. Any buttons except the Map button doesn't work. I tried to speak with him but he has no 'speak' prompt either. When I want to load from a previous save, I noticed the latest save is called 'exclusive story'. Is his a DLC? Is this a bug? Or something I'm missing?

Hey folks, thanks for getting in touch! We're aware of issues with Tarben, and some players have reported that fast travelling elsewhere and going back helps. Does this help you guys or is the issue still occurring?

Hello there,

I apologise for the delayed update. This issue has been marked as resolved by the development team. As we have had no new reports of this issue persisting in-game, we will now be marking this issue as resolved.

If you encounter trouble with Eivor becoming stuck when fishing with Tarben, please can you send us a video showing the following:

  • You have the latest Title Update installed on your platform. You can check this in the right-hand corner of the main game menu.

We can then pass this video along to the development team for a closer look.

Thanks! 😊
