Cannot Finish Bishop/Merchant Quest
Near the end of the main game and I'm stuck. Bishop's quest is stuck on aristocrat papers (which I brought to him). I know I need the Merchant's written invitation, but no dialogue option for it appears. I am at 90 with the merchant, I've sold the 7 crates of veggies, got him the dinners, got Miss Charm's advertisement of the business. He has no dialogue options available. The Inquisitor has turned me down for the invite and I have no further dialogue with the Inquisitor.
Besides the Merchant and Bishop, I have completed all of the other main stories. Inquisitor, Snake, Ms. Charm, Astrologer, I have all of their items I'm just stuck here with no real clear path to go. All the other reddit posts are old and all seem to end with nothing being resolved or a mysterious "Went and did other things, came back and it was fine"
Also, I checked all the spots I'd put things and I didn't accidentally drop the invite somewhere random and forget.
Any help in this matter would be well appreciated. And if push comes to shove and my save is borked, is there a way to go back to older saves? Or am I just doomed to have to restart because of this silly bug right at the end?
