After you have given all the correct answers, you will receive a follow-up quest to finally catch the book thief who is causing trouble on the institute grounds. The good thing is that you don’t have to pay close attention during the conversation, as the culprit will be marked on your map after the chat.

What is the problem? During the questline “The Burden of Knowledge,” you must visit the Scholastein Institute for “Contradiction” and talk to the institute administrator. He requires the correct answers in a specific order. Unfortunately, many players hit a wall here, because:

  • The dialogue cannot be skipped
  • One wrong answer and you have to talk to the administrator again
  • The hints from the previous quest barely help in finding the correct answers

Fans suspect a faulty translation into German, which is why many now have to spend minutes wrestling with the orc and giving the seemingly wrong answers in a row.
