regarding that dude..he is part of complex quest.

Fist find Laka. She is female orc (with make up) and she will want a lute, buy lute somewhere on island (i forgot who has it - i think its merchant in viking settlement). After that go to baradok who runs tavern he will want some entertainement for customers, so u'll propose Laka. But, she needs 3 items to be prepared for singing in tavern. Each of 3 items are in possession of 3 different people, and all 3 will want different thing from U (3 subquests). One of these quest is to fly a banner over that fortess (read, kill the Dude inside that fortress)

Well just talk first with the orc chieftain and then with his wife. She's in another tent nearby. Then you get the quest. I thought it was pretty straightforward.

As for the other orc dude, holy macaroni, I had no idea the lute quest was so complex! It must've bugged out on me. I got the quest from the fat singer to get her a lute, then I did some other errands, including killing the fortress dude, then while cruising above the island saw an active quest icon over one of the buildings in the viking settlement, went there, got a dialog option to buy a lute, bought a lute, brought it back to the fat singer and voila, quest completed

No no that one is empty all right. The chieftain's wife lives in the tent by the main road, sort of on the crossroads of the main road and the side road that leads to the chieftain and the fortress. It's probably hard to spot.

The Tungsinn island is full of bugs : the quest "luckless hunter" isn't completed after killing the black unicorn and I can't complete either "a star is born" because of a quest "fly the banner" where you have to kill an orc Kraag Rottenteeth. After killing him, the quest disappeared (so does the banner in the inventory) but when you go back to Knud, nothing happen.

All this complains about game "bugs" only gives an undeserved bad reputation to the game.
The game works fine , maybe you people are doing something wrong. Or playing
an old unpatched save game with a patched version of the game. Just saying.

Maybe you are an ignorant prick?

Not every bug affects all players. Past the frequent crashes fixed by the first few patches, many of them seem to be either bugs that only some players get for unexplainable reasons or bugs you might simply not notice because you aren't using the items, spells or troops that cause them.

You put up an interesting point, as I am using an old unpatched saved game with a patched version of the game.

The notes didn't say it should affect the particular issues we are running into, but maybe it had unintended consequences.

A shame it might be a while before I can replay from the beginning to test it but at least now I know there is a chance, and that gives me hope!
