Hey guys, i was mad about it for days and was going to try to collect all codex pages just to talk to this guy, but there is no bug, only our own impatience.
When you get to reda, there are kids around him and he is telling the story. You have to actually listen to the end of the story and kids will leave and you can talk to him normally. There is interract action to lean on the pole and listen.
So there you have it, for once, it is not a bug, but a feature.
