Summary:
The caravan ambush quests spawns a caravan from a town and a scripted mounted ransacker party spawns and attacks it. The Needs Help with bandits makes all bandit parties nearby wander aimlessly and they stop running away from the player.
When you get both quests from the same town at the same time, the mounted ransacker party from the caravan ambush quest spawns in, and then, rather than attacking the caravan as usual, it becomes the target of the Need help with bandit quest, making it wander around, avoiding the caravan rather than charging at it. The caravan ambush quest then cannot be resolved and gets canceled instead.
Version: e1.5.9

Hello! I also had this bug on versions e1.6.x. Active "Need help with bigands" quest changes ai of bandits parties in a quite big area around the quest giver and it seems like it conflicts with few other quests if you tying to do them inside of this area. I personally had problems with quests "Caravan ambush.", "Landlord needs access to the <village> commons." and "Exortion by deserters.". I would not be suprised if "Escort merchant caravan." quest had the same issue. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any save file with this bug yet.
 
I have created a ticket with save files from version e1.6.5 for three of the quests affected by this bug: "Landlord needs access to commons", "Escort merchant caravan" and "Caravan ambush".

Title of the ticket:

"Needs help with brigands" quest changes AI of bandits parties from other quests.​


For anyone interested, below I am qouting what I have wrote in the ticked. I have also forgot to mention there that there is one more quest affected by this bug - "Exortion by deserters" - but I don't have a save file for this one yet.
Summary:
When you have active quest "Needs help with brigands", it will conflict with AI of bandits parties from other quests which move fairly close to the settlement in which you have taken "Needs help with brigands" quest.
These parties from other quests will start partrolling around said settlement like all regular bandits parties istead of doing what they supposed to do.
Quests affected by this bug;
- "Landlord needs access to commons",
- "Escort merchant caravan",
- "Caravan ambush".

I am sending few save files from version e1.6.5:
- "help with brigands bug.sav" - quest "Landlord needs access to commons",
- "help with brigands bug 3.sav" - quest "Escort merchant caravan",
- "help with brigands bug 4.sav" - quest "Caravan ambush".

Version: e1.6.5 and beta e1.7.0 for sure, but it is quite old bug.
Is the game modded?: No, it is not.

How to Reproduce:
For quest "Landlord needs access to commons": Use my save file called "help with brigands bug.sav". I have there active quest "Andros of Avalyps Needs Help With Brigands" and my party is in a neighbour village called Ethemisa. Take there "Landlord needs access to the Lavenia commons" quest from Suterios and follow the herdsmen party. When you will be close to Lavenia, "Herders of Lavenia" party will spawn and will start patrolling around Avalyps instead of attacking the herdsmen party.

For quest "Escort merchant caravan": You can use save "help with brigands bug 3.sav" and take this quest in Seonon. However, the bug might me hard to reproduce because the village with active quest "Needs help with brigands" is very close to Seonon, so the bandits party from the quest might not spawn close enough to the village to be affected by this bug.

For quest "Caravan ambush": Use my save file called "help with brigands bug 4.sav". Take "Caravan ambush" quest in Marunath and follow the caravan. Bandits party, that is supposed to attack the caravan, will be patrolling around Bryn Glass village where I have active quest "Needs help with brigands".
