Original Post

Given that quests have been in a weird spot as of late, I wasn't sure what to expect with Desperate Measures. To my surprise, it was full of new assets, areas, had amazing lore reveals, was fun, felt dramatic, great rewards. Super, super, super, super great. One of the best quests in a very long time. Can't praise it enough.

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Pride precedes a fall.

So is he just bound to artifacts in general now (or maybe just the needle)? How does that work given that there is no stone to be bound to?

Think of it as bound to Jas, more than artefacts in particular. He bound himself to the Needle, but he assumed he had control over it, instead Jas reclaimed that control.

The Needle is lost, right?
Does that mean that we actually hold The Needle because we have a shard that is still linked to it?

The Needle isn't lost.

Are the ravens around kerapacs lair intentional? Is it some form of signature?

Intentional, yes. Ironically I didn't add them though.

I love a good Mystery! Excellent Quest, too.

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

PLEASE FIX THE QUEST SO IT DOESNT CRASH THE CLIENT WHEN IT GOES TO PLAY A CUTSCENE. ITS LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE!!

We're aware of this issue, but it's a tough one to reproduce. Please submit an in game bug report and include information about your system and graphics settings if you can. This is not something we've generally been able to reproduce and it's not affecting everyone, so the more information we have the faster we can find a solution.

Why did you have to throw little lass out like that? She's so integral to the Thok story, felt a little cheap to throw that dialogue in because idk people like miss ikea

She was a moment in the Thok story, but sadly not all love lasts forever. She tempered Thok in many ways and helped to shape him, but ultimately their love didn't last and that's fine. They ended amicably and both of them added to the lives and understanding of one another.

Not all love stories are happily ever afters.

I experienced it two times exactly at the same time when my internet speed went bust (had some connection issues throghout the day). It seemed that the game can’t download/process the data from cutscene and goes into “freeze” which lead to crash

I'm not entirely sure that's how it works, but it's information that we can work with. Please still send an ingame bug report as that gives us additional information which can help us track down the cause faster.
