@pkpjohnboy538 Your best bet is to wait a while to play this. The game bugs out for a lot of people during the first story quest (after the whole tutorial bit, when you get to your village). The quest in question here is A Seer's Solace. Literally can't trigger the event to progress the story, and it's the first one. So you've suddenly dropped $60 for a glorified demo. I've consumed raw dough that was more baked than this mess.

So far though, no skinless faces like Unity. Just choppy framerates, glitched main story and side quests. It's Ubisoft's version of Skyrim.

I am on PS4 and so are my friends. Could be different for PC and XBO.

@kingleoa19 This is pretty much exactly how it happened with me. Got the longboat. Saved. Updated because the file finished. Did all of that stuff and encountered the random sleep walker. Bugged main quest.

@meiagius I’m having the same issue! I can only read one after a main story area completion. After I read one, I can’t access the box. I’m on PS4.

So after reading some other things, someone mentioned a side quest bugging it out.

While looking for her cabin, I came across the sleep walking guy, followed him and sent him back. Later on found the quest where they are looking for him, but he is already gone from that spot.

Then discovered the main quest is bugged too. Not sure if there is a correlation here, but super glad I only wasted 3 hours on this train wreck. Even happier I didn't wasted $200 on the collector's edition. My friend did and he is fuming. Day one launch patch (1.0.2) and it breaks the game in the first chapter. Does the dev team not test their own stuff? Can we expect more bugs like this that will require us to restart? Seems kind of risky to play a game and invest 40-50 hours into it to come across another bug like this and have to start over.

I bet it was me saying "Woooow. Reminds me a lot of Skyrim" out loud. Then to discover the bug. Yep... that seems about right. I thought going to the two year release window was supposed to increase quality to prevent this kind of major stuff. I stopped playing day one after Unity. Every game that came out after that I didn't play for a few months after release and never had an issue. Guess I will have to go back to that.
