The journal for the quest is not dropping, It is not there when you loot him after illing him, Nor is it anywhere around the area.
Abandoning and restarting does not fix the issue.
Hi @MrsTea! Thanks for raising this, and providing some details. We are investigating this right now. Just for a little added context, this is a different issue than the one we just fixed where the last part of the quest chain was vanishing.
Thanks! I originally thought I was on the last one so was expecting a fix with this patch. Then when looking thru my Lore Library I realized it was differnt. Thanks for a quick reply
Did you check in your quest items section of the inventory, it was in mine there but not in main inventory?
I’ll have to check this. I wonder how many lorebooks I haven’t read for this reason. I know they are put in your inventory when doing the quest, so you can use them as a reference, but it’s after you have already clicked on it and read it. I always assumed that it was already marked as read at that point. I guess you end up reading some of them twice by the time the quest is done then, or even after the quest if there is a post-quest location. I think I read somewhere that it’s done that way to track when quests are complete and then they are added to Eidetic memory but it’s not intuitive.
After you go to the southern area of the zone, and defeat the bad guy, look in your inventory to read the journal. Then travel to the northern portion of the zone, and enter the house to talk with the woman. the quest will then end successfully.
I choose to give her the money, she needed it more than i did.
