FAST ANSWER / CURRENT BUGS
Victoria/Gideon is the clearest open route bug.
The developer has said Victoria's interactions and behavior are not currently working as intended. Even honest choices can be judged as lies, which may make Victoria leave and block Gideon's follow-up. Patch 1.0.8 repaired other interactions, but this issue remains open in the current notes.
- Check the build number before comparing a route report.
- Separate developer-confirmed behavior, repeated community reports, and one-off anecdotes.
- Keep a save or rewind before the disputed scene and record the exact choices and result.
Developer-confirmed: Victoria and Gideon
The current developer response says Victoria's interactions and behavior are not working as intended. Players report that even honest recruitment choices can be counted as lies, after which Victoria may leave the Round Table. Gideon's relationship or story follow-up can become unavailable as a consequence.
- This is not currently evidence that the player chose the wrong dialogue
- Do not treat Victoria as a stable recruitment route
- Keep a save before Victoria appears
- Do not assume a Victoria death or a Gideon duel restores the complete route
What 1.0.8 fixed—and what it did not
The official 1.0.8 update notes include repairs to several interactions, including Ligia and Gwendan-related problems, plus save/read confirmation behavior. The current monitoring notes do not identify Victoria as fixed, so her route stays open rather than confirmed.
- Fixed or improved: follow the official patch notes for the exact repaired interaction
- Still open in this guide: Victoria's false-lie result and the Gideon follow-up
- Version-sensitive: verify whether a later hotfix changes the result before repeating an old route
Community reports to reproduce
Several reports are useful investigation targets but do not yet justify a universal workaround. Test them with a clean before-state and one variable at a time.
- Quest result screen duplication or stale result text
- Arrest the Traitor behavior after a rewind
- Mount-based quest-duration reduction not applying or the UI not updating
- Alwena failing to accept a long quest after a duration change
- Older Ligia task locks that may be fixed in 1.0.8
How to report a useful reproduction
Write down the build, platform, cycle, active quest, party, preceding choice, rewind or save action, and the first incorrect result. A screenshot of the result screen or a short video is stronger than a conclusion such as 'the route is broken'.
- Expected result
- Observed result
- Exact steps from a known before-state
- Whether a second run reproduced it
- Whether the result changed after a patch or clean save
