[Bug] Slave Prisoner

I got close to a fire where there were bandits. I'm dead.
Reloading the game the bandits were gone, and with them the key to unlocking the guy.

I tried to go back, to kill other bandits in the area but no key.

It 'a bug. Right?

Yes. The whole "rescue prisoner" thing is currently broken in several ways.

Have similar issue, I think in my 1st playthrough this guy suppose to be a corpse also there is no bandit guarding this area. I bet the NPC pop in graphical upgrade cause this issue.

With patch 1.5 the problem has not been resolved.

Because there is no bug for 95% of the people... if there is a bug at all. I freed all the prisoners and it worked like a charm. The leader always had the key, I would free the dude, he would tell me where he lived and to come by later and then walk off. You could actually see his icon moving along the map and if you came to visit him you could claim a reward.

Well the bug is big enough for multiple people to have come across it.
It's not as rare as you might think.
ALL my person(s) in distress quests are bugged, I mean literally ALL.
I have to walk with each person to their designated "final area" just so I can talk to them in case they have something missable.
Afterward they *poof*, never to be seen again.
First noticed this with the Claywich Barber (wanted to get another haircut) then noticed they basically ALL disappear after I free them.
Very immersion breaking and I already sigh in advance whenever I see a cage icon popup on the map.
It's my biggest gripe with the game next to the (now old) XP bug.

I am on my 3rd Playthrough on Xbox One and on every playthrough i had the same issue. I came to the place when i was to weak and later in the game, there were everytime only 4 bandits on horses and none of them had a key.

Otherwise i have to say, if there is nothing missable from one of those persons, i don`t care if its fixed or not!
