BUGS: Several bugs that break immersion

Several bugs have been getting to me but mostly the ones that are related to quests.

First and probably one that I find major is taking the secondary quest from Zoltan to find the qwent cards, the statuette related to this quest gives another quest where I have to take the statue to Triss, the problem I have is that since I progressed a fair distance with Triss's quest I could never talk to her, even though I had to still complete her last quest but at no point coming into the building or other do I get to talk to her about the statue. I feel that having the player HAVE to complete a quest before another else it ends up as a fail is a fail of its own, at the very least I should have had the option to ask any mage or ask Yennefer or before starting Triss's quest, Triss should at least say something like "is there anything else you want to talk about before we do this, there may not be time later" this wouldnt have been hard to implement and I could have completed that quest, because I had little to play from, but since then I pushed on with the game...

Some cases where NPC's go into a stick man mode, their heads are off and they walk around like scarecrows with arms out and no movement only gliding.

The rune that is suppose to give attack power still says 0 after all the updates...

I also had to play through several parts of the main story at a higher level before I could talk to yennefer about the crystal from Phillipa's megascope since at that time Triss was no longer available either. There should be a point where the player can interact with the NPC at almost any time...

I will keep the post updated as I have other issue. One more regarding the quest Novigrad, Closed City is apparently addressed in patch 1.05 but I have not yet investigated.

I have the PC version of the game and was on patch 1.04 at the time of this post, I have an i7 3.5ghz with 16gb RAM running Win7 Ultimate x64, all drivers and patches have been downloaded

EDIT: Patch 1.05 still does not remove or reset the failed quest Novigrad, Closed City or send it to failed, same with The Soldier Statuette quest that should fail or be removed from active quest log since I could not complete it before finishing Triss's mission

The thing with the statuette is annoying. I had already sent triss on her way to Kaer Morhen when I got that little statue. Really pisses me off that I may never be able to do it since I really enjoyed bringing that other figurine back to life.

Also I didn't realize you could talk to Yennefer about the megascope crystal, as I hadn't progressed that far (purposefully as I was waiting for this patch to do so; though, in hindsight waiting for this patch may have been silly since it doesn't seem to fix the things i was waiting to be fixed). I was hoping I would be able to talk to Yennefer about the crystal. We'll see, since I long finished the Eilhart quest for Radovid.

I also long since finished that Novigrad Closed city quest to completion, but now it's showing up in my failed quests (actually it's my only failed quest since that tab didn't even exist for me before this patch). I don't understand why this patch is breaking my streak of no failed quests. We'll see what happens with this patch after King's Gambit when it comes to the insta-failing of the Cave of Dreams quest I had long since completed. Seems this patch may have broke more than it fixed for my playthrough.

I have given the game a 2 week break, since being on again after patch 1.06 (though I have no idea if this is even the reason for the change), the quest Novigrad, Closed City has updated, personally I think it was because the the Contract: Deadly Desires I believe was the name lead me to an NPC which I was suppose to find during the Closed City quest. the result was that I failed tracking the blood and sewer muck part of the Closed City quest but picked up the rest, I eventually "completed" the Closed City quest albeit failed the start of it, but sadly even after that the quest remains open in my secondary quest box...

As for the Statuette quest, that still remains in my quest log, from what I have read in spoilers toward the end of the game or at least the part where the battle against the Wild hunt starts in Kaer Morhen only there you will see your allies you recruited over the course of the game, whether you can talk to Triss (if you sent her to Kaer Morhen) to complete this quest still remains a mystery to me since I have not completed the game yet or that part. Anyone with more insight on this, please share what results you have had. Thanks

I completely miss statue quest in my first play, focus on them on my second and so far i did recover one dude that cheat on his wife after that i finish Triss quest line and of course i discover another figure, so i wait with quest in my log for Kaer Morhen, but i wasnt able to locate Triss there (i romance her so she was there), so next stop was quest final preparation where everybody team up in Dandelion pub, sadly Triss was there but no option in conversation about statues. Even in Skellige right before last battle you cant talk about statues with Triss, so it is safe to say you must do them before finishing Triss quest line in Novigrad.
