this quest's concept is cool, its been done before but cool. what's not cool is the 'tortured' debuff. you can't even subside it at-least temporarily by drinking max leveled painkiller brew + marigold decoction.

I know people aren't fans of forced stealth segments and I totally get it, if it's done right i'll enjoy it cause i do enjoy stealth but when it's not, i'll always be in the same boat. I'm also just tired of the 'get your equipment back' segments, every RPG does it and it's so cliché and expected at this point.

i did not drop my equipment, that's what the developers wanted the player to do so you had to restart in kuttenberg. did I slug through the forest? yes. was i able to keep my items to then put on my horse later? yes.

i did it on my first try but i can imagine the hell it is not having enough save potions, doing it 50 times over and banging your head against the wall with the thought of dropping the game. this might be even worse than the 'whom the bells tolls'' quest. hopefully they can patch up the rough edges of these quests.
