The Joy of Overworking Quest Bug
If you ever find yourself stuck because an Encounter or Quest won’t trigger when you walk up to the spot, and nothing happens, don’t worry, it’s not a bug. It’s actually a game mechanic that’s just not explained very clearly. The game only lets you have two “Pending” Encounters at a time.
Now, this doesn’t mean unfinished quests. It specifically refers to encounters where you’ve triggered the first event or dialogue but haven’t completed the conversation to officially accept the quest into your log. If you already have two of these “half-started” encounters, the game won’t let any new ones appear until you finish or accept one of the pending ones.
