Help! Can't retrieve item dropped behind wall with sconce.

[tstade]

In Broken Blade, I had a very short, unfriendly conversation with a lady named Sparrow - and then I had no choice but to kill her! Of course, this happened before I visited the Guild and was given the code word that would have prevented all that. Anyway, when she died she dropped an item which has turned out to be fairly important to the rest of my quest, and I can't get it! The item bag is on the far side of a wall, exactly opposite a wall sconce on the near side of the same wall. On my map I can see the little pink dot telling me it's there, but when I try to retrieve it I can only click on the wall sconce on THIS SIDE of the wall and can't get to the item bag on the OTHER SIDE of the wall, even though my character is standing on the OTHER SIDE of the wall, right next to the item bag. Does anyone know a way to 'layer down' or force activate the item that appears to the game to be 'underneath' the wall sconce?

don't suppose you have a save shortly before killing her?


spoiler info don't read

If you do get the key all you missed out on was having her inform you she'd switched sides, and then you kill her

Because you are not the first to report this problem, I've posted this issue in the support forum to be addressed. I don't know if there will be a solution for this in the future, but in the meantime, you'll probably have to restore an old saved game if you have one. If you don't, don't worry. The item she dropped is available later in the game. You just have to be sneaky to get it. Don't want to spoil it for you.

Well, I do have a save from before Sparrow's bad day, but since then I've done a lot of adventuring and I hate to have to do that all over. I think I'll just keep playing and hope that when the time comes I'm smart enough to figure out the sneaky way to get that item. Thanks for the advice!

Just to confirm this bug just happen to me on my second play through of the game.

first time I saw and killed sparrow before my guild visit

this time I went to the guild first and got the password and still had to kill sparrow as is the way, but in this fight the item bag dropped next to the front wall in the area with sconce on outside and me and bag on inside..

I will delete and reload Broken Blade map to do over -- more bugs to kill anyway -- So I will try other experiments on killing them for fun and fight sparrow away from the front wall
