I have tried everything in these suggestions and nothing works for me. PATCH YOUR GAME UBISOFT

@muradINC I'll have to try that tonight. I agree, I hear all the weird walking around as well, I'll try breaking all the boxes.

@kuratoro yeah, I have tried every work around I have found and nothing gets me past it. Not sure if its the same bug as others or not, as I don't always get the 3 of them in a huddle, sometimes its just Eivor standing there by himself with another NPC off to the right...

I have read through the forums and tried all the workarounds. I have set the Global setting to every possible setting and restarted and reloaded and its all the same.. after talking to the 2 prisoners I either load in with Sigurd and Dag standing with Eivor or I load in with Eivor standing with the poet looking guy off to his right.

NOTHING is getting me past this point... the "official workaround" doesn't work.
