Yet another mission I have to skip.
KO'd all palace guards and now King does nothing.Doing that shouldn't matter.

KO'd all palace guards and now King does nothing.I had the same happen on my playthrough - what I did "wrong" was to enter the floor below the king through the outside balcony (via one of the towers).
I pretty much tried everything and what finally worked was entering the floor by the great staircase.
There is a lot of scripting going on in this campaign and some cases have not been though out very well.
I could give another example in another mission but, frankly, I'm not so sure "repairing" these will really improve the campaign by that much.
To clarify: I gave this campaign a "C" in the poll. I think changing these relatively minor things won't change my score.
I also don't think that scripting is bad per se. But I do think that one should make sure that it works.

Entering via one of the towers (
where the two guards are, there are two doors into castle second floor there) never caused anything to fail in several plays for me, or using the staircase, or KOing guards/servants/etc. None of those things are "wrong" or would break the mission. What are you saying didn't happen that should have?

When I entered the floor via the left door and approached the area the king was in Garrett commented something like to wait this one out.
Then nothing more happened. I tried various things but nothing worked.
When I reloaded and got up via the staircase the same Garrett-comment came but then the one guard called Frederickson(?) approached the king, they talked etc.

I believe I just did the same thing and you can see the messenger on his way up to see the king...

Oh I believe you - no problem - but that doesn't change what I experienced... :cheeky:

No, but the testers and other players so far didn't report that problem, and it doesn't seem reproducible, but we'll see if others experience it. There might be something else setting up that problem, like if the messenger gets distracted or sees you through one of the small windows as you ascend the tower, but simply entering the castle on the 2nd floor isn't the problem.
EDIT: I think it was distracting the messenger - nobody can see you from that first window going up in either tower, but if you make a distinct noise (I had to jump right next to it, but running at full speed back and forth by it had no alerting effect) he and the two guards outside the front doors go into alert, then he didn't do his thing when you enter on the 2nd floor, but Garrett didn't say anything either.
Actually I did it twice, jumped so they're fully alerted, and the second time he still came in correctly by the time I got up there, but after the first time I discovered he had come inside and was standing by that tower window. I'm not saying Calibrator that you jumped there in your case, most players are more careful, but it likely took something comparable that alerted them outside, maybe you can recall?

I think I know what might be going on here. Something must've spooked Fredrick. I'll look into it. I should be able to fix this right away.

To be honest: I ran a lot in this campaign. In fact I'd say I ran most of the time! So I definitely wouldn't rule out that I triggered the messenger.
On the contrary it's quite possible - and that would indeed be a good explanation why others couldn't reproduce this behaviour.
