@ubi-spud This is not acceptable. And not at all a "workaround". The game seems to save up to 5 autosaves, which are by now all more or less at the same time before the quest, so no matter which one I load, it will always be stuck on the same bug.
The last older save is from 8 game-hours ago, which I'd have to play again from scratch.
I will not continue playing and I will not buy any other ubisoft title when this goes on. There must be a solution and it must be quick. As mentioned by @Hydro666 the bug is not even mentioned in the "known issues" thread. Why?

I might even consider refunding the game and getting my money back. When it takes me hours and hours of additional time to play the game properly, I can just as well buy it some weeks later for about half the original price. Can't I?

I'm a very loyal supporter of Ubisoft and their games. But a bug that halts the whole main story of a game for many players can't be it.

When catching big fish, Eivor moves like s/he is pulling it out of the water and holding it proudly in front of him/her for a moment.
Just that there's no fish in his/her hands. They're empty.
Just an optical bug because you still gain the resources but it's an obvious one...
