Original Post — Direct link

Hey, after starting the new Wrath of the Druids DLC (before I had finished the base game) I got to the Blood Bond quest and escorting Barid back to his "castle." I decided part of the way back that I should finish the main game and pick up Gungnir and Mjolnir before going back, and save Wrath of the Druids for when I could stream it for my friends and we could react to it together. I fast-travelled back to England and finished the main game, overwriting my previous save files.

When I came back to Ireland to return to WotD I found Barid stuck at the graveyard and I was unable to interact with him (I had already spoken to him and cleared the ambush before fast-travelling away.) After save-quitting to see if that would fix it, Barid was suddenly back in Dublin, standing at the cliff next to his "castle." I was still unable to interact with him, though I was able to nudge him part of the way towards the open door of the longhouse. He then promptly power walked back to his spot on the cliff. Decided to record it for evidence and here we are. Video below, forgive the low quality, I only just reinstalled OBS and I wasn't going to make my settings flawless to record a single 3 minute video for a bug report.

Hello there @chicken4thewin!

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble progressing in "Blood Bond," and that Barid is stuck in place outside of the longhouse. Thanks for providing a detailed recall of events, as well as a video that shows Barid's current position.

I've passed your report along to the development team so they can take a closer look at this. If we require any additional information from you, we will reach out within this thread.

Thanks 😊

Hello again @chicken4thewin!

The development team have been taking a closer look at your report, and they've asked me to reach out to you.

Would you be able to summon your mount and push into Barid with it? The development team would like to see if that triggers Barid to jump onto the mount. They're also interested in seeing if pushing him towards the longhouse with the mount triggers the scene to continue.

You mentioned that you've already tried nudging him part of the way. The developers are interested if seeing if using the mount changes the outcome.

If you're able to record a video that shows you doing this, including the outcome, that would be helpful for the ongoing investigation.

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you, @chicken4thewin! If Barid still refuses to move in "Blood Bond," please send us a video that shows you attempting this. The development team would be interested to see how Barid reacts to being pushed towards the longhouse, and it will be useful for their investigation into this issue 🙂
