VCRE latest version (2.005) Before posting I've done some investigations throughout the internet and steam's WB sub-forums in particular in search of possible reasons and solutions. As you could figure it out I cannot find the thief. Here's some details: Following certain routes in story mode I've come to serve as a vassal in Kingdom of Northhymbre and eventually was given a castle to own (Caer Ligualid I believe it's name) and to raise its relation I went on doing ANY quests the Reeve gives and eventually was given that Lyre quest with 5 villages to search for. And no one of them was covering that deserter.
I used to complete that kind of quest once before and it was super easy (1st village I visited was a correct one). But later on I was unable to find a quest NPC in any fief doesnt matter what castle/city used to give me that quest. So I found out on Steam forums that a local leader have an unique phrase in case that thief is in his village.
I backuped my savegame file (playing on realistic mode with only 1 straight save file) in case to not to waste 30 in-game days which I spent on running between 5 villages trying to solve that quest but ended up with a just wasted month. Nobody said anything special in their dialog screen (only common "Strangers comes blah blah blah if he hides somewere here you can try finding him by looking around") and as I said the thief was nowhere to be found. So I wonder if it's a bug or something wrong with listed villagers (maybe 1 is missing) or does that guy maybe move between them rapidly avoiding your judgment? Maybe he dissapears after the fief has been looted? Or is that quest is broken for me since I finished it once and did trigger something on occasion that shouldnt've been triggered? Or maybe there's some more that I should know about, something a bit deeper and hidden perhaps?
Foreseeing your questions: yes, I've searched villages only during day time and searched scrupulously looking behind every corner even though I knew the location of a deserter in some types of villages. And no, I didn't change anything in game files.
