accepted the quest normally, opened the cage, fucked it and failed Biscuit. After that Biscuit flees to live a free and wild life in the forest or what not and he was never to be seen again. waited multiple in game days searched the entire area repeatedly, and cleared the respawned enemies multiple times. The cage is now empty and non-interactive and Garnuff only repeats quest summary dialogue. No mooncalves anywhere to be seen. Went on reddit to find a solution most people said go to an earlier save but my only earliest save from before taking on the quest was at Jackdaw’s Rest. replayed everything and completed the quest correctly on that save! But I still didn’t receive my glorious achievement. Fuck.
I already know it’s over and I just need to do another play through but I need to hear confirmation from someone else. Thank you.
