Summary0023288: A darker threat quest can't be turned in - dwarf chapter 12
DescriptionAt dwarf chapter 12 at the Hindelburg hard PQ location the NPC Eber Tolzen hidden behind a house gives you this quest.
After I complete it (I get the q completion sound and it is marked as completed in tome) and go back to the NPC (he is marked on map as Q target), I can't talk to him. Also there is no orange complete quest marker above his head.
Steps To ReproduceNot sure if it is a part of chain.

1. Take quest from Eber Tolzen at dwarf ch12 hard pq location
2. complete quest
3. try to turn quest in at Eber Tolzen - this is the buggy part
TagsNo tags attached.

Hi, the quest text says to examine the chest. The quest ends on the chest, not on the npc. Please return to the tunnels and click on the chest again. Please confirm if it worked for you.

I was fairly certain I tried it before (more than one quest confused me with needing to click quest chest / whatever the second time, really not something that is a bit confusing), but I tried it again just now.
(I abandoned and retaken the quest 3 times in total and even tried not killing the mobs prior to clicking chest, did not help)

Every time same thing.

You click chest after killing the needed number of mobs, quest gets marked as complete, map indicator for quest location gets moved back to questgiver.
The chest still is pulsing like a quest item but is not clickable. You can select it with left click as a friendly target, but rightclicking does nothing.

Image attached.

IMO:
1. quest should trigger the complete quest screen after clicking the chest the FIRST time (this one and all others with similar issue). This is way too confusing and you only figure out something is wrong after leaving the location and all the mobs respawning... painful. (esp since nothing in the quest text suggests you should "examine chest twice")
2. However if that is impractical to implement, quest should never remove the minimap quest area marker until you have done everything there. Moving marker back to NPC prematurely causes you to think you are done. I abandoned and retook more than one quest in various dwarf chapters thinking it got buggeg (even when they were not) due to this sort of behavior.

In either case, the quest in question here seems really bugged, not just "user unfriendly" because the chest does not trigger anything after the first click that marks Q as complete. No "complete" popup, no matter how many times you click on it.

Yeah 0000001 is how they typically work (however when the quest ends on a game object, you have to finish the other tasks first in order for the quest completion dialogue to pop up).

I am working on the T3 quest rework now - will take me a couple weeks. However, I'll make sure to fix this one once I get to it. Tis a slow slog fixing 800+ quests alone.
