New "I have a quest" animation

Perfect! This is a great happy medium between hand holding and not. It catches the eye, but does not kill immersion and does not seem "automatic" like questing in other mmos.

 

I didn't get it the first time. I thought that Samuel is doing some fun magic for his own amusement, because he was doing it sitting with his back to me. Then I have noticed some other guy doing it too (again facing away from me), so it got me thinking that I should talk to them.

Interestingly enough, they refuse to talk to me (considering that the quest is done?) thanking me instead. Yet they still do it. Now I have no idea how to get to Malice again. :-(

 

If they do the sparkly hand-wave motion (or glow blue, I think that's still an option you can set) there is a quest flag associated with them that you qualify for and have not yet completed.

 

Yet they refuse to talk to me. If I am insistent, they "connect", but "busy", so there is no conversation. How can I overcome this?

I did go to Malice and freed Sequanna, but this time I decided to repeat the quest starting with Necropolis, then on to Crypt of Avatar, then to Spite. While I did practically the same things, this time I got some EXP --- I guess the previous time the quest was pretty much broken. But now in Spite I am stuck and cannot test the rest of it.

PS: They === Samuel and the guy, who transports dead people to Malice.
