I've been playing since release day and these quests have been permanently frustrating, janky and awkward to initiate or even complete, so am asking how everyone goes around starting Kold Mirage and Spellbound and what exactly the prerequisites for starting it are, because they seem to vary wildly according to issues other players continue to experience.
I thought I had Kold Mirage sussed; out of curiosity I am trying to get the quest to appear organically. My last playthrough (same patch) the notice of expiration shard found at Revere Courier Services during the gig Many Ways To Skin A Cat should, and previously has added a set of coordinates and journal entry proviced Ghost Town was completed (and, according to one of the wikis - a Street Cred level of 37).
Except that's exactly where I am now and it's not triggering. I read the shard, nothing. Wait 24 hours, 48 hours ... nothing. I have played until Nocturne OP55N1 ... nothing, no text from Nix to initiate Spellbound either.
Previously I would just head to the dump to pick up Dex's gun anyway and start Kold Mirage from there. More often than not Bartmoss' freezer is interactable after Ghost Town (sometimes...) but as I mentioned, I am trying to get this thing to trigger organically with that damn notice of expiration shard and have a completionist's compulsion.
Many online guides maintain that Spellbound comes first, and that Nix will contact the player after Ghost Town is completed, except he isn't, and has always - in every playthrough I have done - been completely uninteractable in his room until I manage to trigger Kold Mirage.
So is the text that initiates Spellbound random?
Is this just the buggiest questline in the game?
