A Portrait of the Witcher as an Old Man
Fixing a softlock
Enable the debug console, then look for a fact under Gates the quest checks — one the quest is actively waiting on. If that flag never got written, addfact it to the value shown and the gate clears.
Setting a Set these to advance fact only marks a step done — it won't run the step or skip the quest forward, and it can't fix a softlock caused by a scene that never played or an NPC that didn't spawn (reload an earlier save for those). Save before forcing any fact.
