[bug] Certain Quests not completing

[Souldrake]

I am unsure of the cause of this bug, but there is definitely one with quest completion and I have run into it several times today on the most recent version on Steam.

In the story quest where you have to free the witch from the Giant's Den, if you don't have the money and postpone the quest, sometimes it will never show up again preventing you from progressing.

The more frustrating version of this bug is when it happens to portal quests. In a different game from the above, one I restarted and successfully completed the Eternal's quest line, I had a portal quest just now with the nobles getting robbed by... I forget the name of the Robin Hood character in this, but I clicked "You dare rob me, I am your great mage!" then I clicked on the option to throw them in jail. I should have had the man come back and demand that I release his "friends." but instead I got some other dialogue window with only one option to say "I'll ask the same question again sometime later" and then it never showed up again preventing me from moving on with the game as that was the portal I needed to progress further. I waited around for 20 turns, but the quest never came back. The oddest part about this though was about 5 turns in, the quest for the witch in the Eternal's quest dialogue popped up again just once though, I didn't have the 1000 gold at the time and thought it was a bug so I clicked I don't have the gold right now and it went away and did not return.

Portal quests that you delay should recur if you move your unit anywhere within two hexes around the portal. Just waiting without having any units in close proximity won't get the quest back however.

As for the witch quest, it sounds like it did pop up again, at which time you didn't have the money and appropriately clicked for it to go away for now. It should come back again in about 10 turns. If it doesn't, then it is a bug and has been reported by other people in this forum.

Just my two cents worth...

Edit: actually, thinking back about that rich man quest you're describing, I thought the portal would have been open when you threw them in jail. It's only later that the trouble happens, but you can go through the portal. Are you sure the portal is not lit up?

Positive.

I have moved my units around, onto, all around the map so that none of them are close and all of them are close. The portal would not open. I finally ended up overwriting the save. In retrospect I probably should have kept it, but it has happened to me quite often lately, so I'll probably get another occurrence of it eventually.
