The quest says that the ceremony cannot begin without Halfdan and that he's outside. I game him face down dead on the floor with his dog sat next to him. I can interact and speak with him, but he's unable to make his way inside due to him being dead. He also has the blue loot lights coming out of his back.

I've tried fast travelling, meditating and replaying from an older save point but he's always dead and my game progress is blocked.

@ubiexcellent Hi

I understand that this is still under investigation, but is it being actively looked at by the teams or sat in a backlog? I initially reported this issue on the 6th December 2020 over 65 days ago. It would be good to know where this issue sits in terms of priority, as I (and the others in this thread) are not able to progress in the game. I have had the game since release so of those 90+ days I've only been able to play it for 26. Having an expectation of when and if this is going to be resolved would be greatly appreciated right now as this isn't up to the levels one would expect for any other product or service.

@ubiexcellent here's the video of it

Here's a screenshot. I've had to reduce the image size because of the forum post file size limit.

@Ubi-Borealis is there any official news on this? I made the original post on 6th December 2020 and it's now May! There's new content being released yet the underlying base game has a fundamental flaw that seems to affect a large number of people. Even some sort of quick shim to set Halfdan as not dead (irrespective of the cause) should have been possible by now.

Hi - as others have said, the body cannot be interacted with in that way. You can speak to the dead body, but once that dialog is completed you cannot pick up or booby trap the body. In fact as it is part of a cut scene, you cannot use any weapons or abilities.

@ubiexcellent
I'm on Xbox - is there anything you can link me to that tells me how to access and share my save file?

@adamski8891 I have exactly the same problem - got 4 skill points at level 398

@ubiexcellent Hi

I have a video and some images that I've captured by my xbox live is full. I will clear out some space later when I've finished work and get them to you as soon as I can.

If it is of any use, it plays out as follows:

1. I speak with Moira who tells me that Halfdan and Faravid have gone outside to talk, and I follow her to the door.
2. I exit the building and use the bird to locate them - they are stood on top of the wall by the building
3. I walk up to them and Faravid is stood up, Halfdan is face down and the dog is sat next to him.
4. The dialog starts and I can click 'Speak' above Halfdan's body and they say to head into the hall
5. Faravid walks back into the hall
6. Hafdan remains face down on the floor

I suspect Halfdan got killed and not revived in the previous battle, but I have no way to confirm it.

The quest says that the ceremony cannot begin without Halfdan and that he's outside. I game him face down dead on the floor with his dog sat next to him. I can interact and speak with him, but he's unable to make his way inside due to him being dead. He also has the blue loot lights coming out of his back.
