I have a couple issues to report, which go hand in hand with one another. The first is Biv, our drunken robobrain friend. Biv is half broken, getting quests from them or completing them is a chore. Not only this, but the randomness in which we get quests also appear to be broken in some manner.

Launch Day: Main quest with a Craft & Return for New River Ale (recipe learned)

Day 2: Basic Craft & Return Quest (Blackwater Brew learned) and a Tipsy Taste-Test that was bugged (wanted me to crit something, and nothing registered as a crit - including sneak attack headshots, even in VATS)

Day 3: Wasn't given a Biv's Craft & Return quest despite numerous efforts to speak with Biv throughout the entire day. The Tipsy Taste-Test that I couldn't complete the day before was reset, which I completed and returned to Biv, getting a recipe (Recipe: New River Red Ale, which I already had)

However, this leads me to my second issue, and initially what prompted me making this post.

Today I received the daily to kill 25 enemies in the Cranberry Bog while intoxicated on Cranberry Moonshine. I don't mind the consistent asking of us being intoxicated to get daily rewards, but I do mind when I can't perform them because the game hasn't given me that recipe yet.

If you want us to be able to do dailies, don't hide them behind a bot that gives us plans at random without ensuring we will all have the recipe for this.

Thanks for the reports!

Just to clarify - There are days you've received both Tipsy Taste Test and Craft & Return from Biv, but also days where you've only received on or the other?

Since the quest you get can be random, I can see how it's possible to get the same Tipsy Taste Test quest twice in a row but I'll look into this as well.

I'll look into the crit issue. Is this happening only during the quest, or are crits not registering at other times too?

Hey there Valseek! Question 1: That is correct. I haven't always gotten both quests. Launch day I only got the craft and return, and on Day 3, I only got the Tipsy Taste-Test.

To add to this, the Tipsy Taste-Test for yesterday (Day 4) was exactly the same as the one from Day 3, a Charisma > Buy from Vendor quest, which did work.

Crits are registering in game, and dealing the right damage, they are just not counting towards the Tipsy Taste Test - Perception quest.

I've also gotten yet another duplicate recipe (Blackwater Brew) after finishing the Tipsy Taste-Test quest on Day 4.

Thank you for the added info! We'll investigate.
