[0.915 Bug or Something Explained not Well] Trolls Quest

I have done the Trools quest. When you start the quest, a hunter says to kill a troll and he will give you money or a magic sword. When you arrive to the quest location, there is a troll, that you kill and this is ok. When you enter on quest location, the dialog box says that hunters does not have money but I can take the sword.

At this point a battle start and I don't know why... Hunter has betrayed me?

i ran into that yesterday (now that my pc is running i can actually play the beta). Thats the way it would seem from the progression of events (i picked the option of the sword as well) as the sword option response was kind of threatening in tone- something like 'you'd better give me what i was promised.' The part that had me scratching my head a bit is that the hunter guy (aside from seeming to take offence at me not taking just money instead) was the party he had with him, it was 2 or three other units and i think the hunter might have been the weakest among them. At the very least there was another human npc with him that was much stronger, though i cant remember what it was exactly.

Quests in general need a redo...not the quests themselves, but feedback into what is going on story-wise...and a real meaning to the choices. As of right now it essentially is pick the first option until you 'win'. If you lose or essentially come to a battle that is currently impossible to win, reload a previous save-game and wait to take on the quest when you feel you've got a strong enough army.

Kinda takes some of the fun of the mystery of a new quest. They may also need more randomization, I'm not sure but it seems to me for X quest the battles and quest turnouts are the same (loot may change). I think the cave quest...if I remember right...is random depending on the paths you take.

And if you screw up half-way on a multiple stage quest...it *poofs*. If you lost a battle, why does the enemy army then just vaporize?
