Talk:Deeper Trouble/@comment-37858418-20190118230200

I completed Deep Trouble right after it becomes available (immediately after defeating the Cyclops during Call of the Arisen), then hurried to complete Off With Its Head in the same in-game day (because in my notes that was the prerequisite of this quest), but neither the cutscene appeared, nor was Rorric inside the well.

Decided to do another run after seeing this article, I completed Deep Trouble, again, immediately after it became available, slept 9-10 days at Pablos' Inn, no cutscenes, no Rorric inside the well. Slept another 9-10 days, this time at the Encampment, no cutscene, no signs of Rorric inside the well. Proceeded to complete (in this same playthrough) A Rude Awakening and accept Off With Its Head, I head back to the well, but still no cutscene and no Rorric inside the well. I complete Off With Its Head and, although no cutscene appeared, Rorric was inside the well offering me the quest.

tl;dr There definitely IS an in-game time pre-requisite (although I cannot confirm nor deny that it's of exactly 7 days), but there definitely IS also a main quest pre-requisite, which is the completion of Off With Its Head.

The reason as to why the cutscene didn't play is still a mystery to me. Since it never happened to me before in ANY run, despite always completing Deeper Trouble even BEFORE completing A Matter of Myrmidons, I suspect it has something to do with sleeping at the Inns, something that I've never done before. Perhaps it's because I've waited out the time period in Cassardis, or perhaps it's because I've slept past it instead of waiting it naturally, perhaps it's because I've waited the time period BEFORE completing Off With Its Head, I don't know and I don't really care...

It could be a no-brainer but I'd also like to confirm that Deep Trouble is also a pre-requisite for this quest, one may never know...
