Something very strange with the Quest Marker
Verfasst: 02.09.2020 10:47
Received the "Wanted in Ark" bounty for "The Strangler" and immediately obtained the next quest for "Ora Millendance".
Tried getting to the location (Farmer's Coast) by Scroll from inside the (Marketplace) Player House.
By Scroll from outside the house.
Via a Myrad ride from inside Ark's South Quarter.
Finally by walking all the way.
The problem is that at a certain point the Quest Marker moves from pointing to the real quest target to a tall ladder further up the coast (to the North) which has "Farmer's Coast" as the destination. (An interesting aside is that if you actually climb down to the shore and go up that ladder and back down the quest marker will update itself and now be correct!)
That (certain) point is reached (in the first 3 cases above) during the transfer so it's impossible to tell exactly where, but when walking I've narrowed it down fairly closely.
The attached savegame is on the main road a short distance from Bridgehead Farm. Note that the quest marker is correct at that point, just West of North.
If you were to continue to the junction (by the signpost) then save (full or quick), then after reloading that save the pointer is correct.
If you continue to the junction, turn right (North) then turn left at HoneyBrewery (head for the Myrad tower) you will see the quest marker "jump" to the incorrect location as you get close to the tower.
Alternatively, turn right (North) and continue up the road a short distance then stop by the sign for Hafner's Farm Shop. The pointer is curently correct. Save (full or quick) then reload that save. Pointer is now incorrect (slightly East of North and pointing to the ladder noted above.
TBH It's not really a massive problem but it's really odd behaviour and would be better fixed than not (if you can ). Can create a bug report if required (basically a copy/paste from above as most of it is relevant).
No mods - vanilla game.
