In order to obtain this quest, you must talk to two Skaal villagers arguing over a missing person. However, I can not get the male villager to give me the quest line. He will not open up for dialogue. The WIKI says that I was to hasty talking to the villagers and can no longer obtain this quest. Does anyone know a way I can get around this bug? Will it be fixed in the patch?

Reload to a previous save is the only fix for it I've found thus far. :/

Which really svcks cause I've already done the main quest and countless side quests. O, and I'm not even sure I have a save that far back...

So there is no work around?
