Can't get into Briarthorn Den via NPC
Remove all your armor before talking to the NPC. Somebody over at the DE-forums had the same problem and that workaround worked
Thanks Tiscan, but that didn’t have any effect: I made sure all my equipment was off and tried again, to no effect. I literally had to talk to the NPC and watch the cutscene a dozen times before it finally teleported me into the heart area.
(In fact, there’s a conversation going on in mapchat right now with others having the same issues, and so far nothing anyone’s suggested is working for them apart from sheer dumb luck of it finally working.)
