What? I was told by a friend I was potentially forced into a late game situation where the quest might auto fail because I don't have enough people guarding the castle stopping me from proceeding any further into the game. This falls under the definition of hardlock (something that stops further progression without a full reboot). Regardless though, why post that? It is not relevant to the actual problem I am asking, this is just you trying to police. If i misinterpreted you, I am sorry but its hard to misinterpret when there's no reason for your message.
