Extremely bad quest dialogue in this instance, she asks for you to "come here" and discuss the outcome, which you cannot do at that point .. all they had to do was have her say "up here! tell me what you think", and there would have been no problem.

Yeah, I was confused by that part, as well. It took me a few minutes to finally notice her up above, and realize I could position myself to get a prompt for speaking with her.

Aside from the quest I failed by getting killed by the Daggerfall guards (which I dropped and played through again), the only time I experienced an actual bug was inside the vault, when the enemy howled and I was supposed to catch the moon. The game appeared to freeze, like when I get disconnected in Vivec City (or somewhere else packed with players) but my client is still running, so I'm able to walk around but everyone else is standing still and I can't interact with anything, then I finally get kicked out of the game and must log my character back in. I don't know if it was just a wild coincidence of timing, but that happened right when the enemy howled, and I walked around for nearly a minute trying to find a way to progress the scene, since I couldn't tell if I'd lost connection or if everything was working "as intended," but I finally got an error message and got kicked out of the game. When I logged back in, everything seemed to work correctly the second time.

Same issue, game stood still when he howled. Had to log out and back in to continue.
