Stuck on The Critic?
Check these in order before assuming a bug. Most stalls come from a wrong objective, location or conversation.
- Re-read your journal objective. Make sure you are matching the current one, not an earlier entry.
- Confirm you are in the right place. Some objectives only register inside a specific building or room.
- Talk to the character again. A finished objective sometimes needs one more conversation before the quest continues.
- Wait for the next state transition. Some objectives advance on the next day or after another system updates.
- Check the required item or action. The quest may need a specific item in your inventory or a specific interaction.
- Make sure your game version is up to date, then reload the area before reporting a bug.
Only treat this as a potential bug after working through the checks above. Quest-specific blockers are listed here; general quest system problems are handled by the help pages.
