Discounty Debasement Quest Stuck After Ending?

If Debasement says to wait for the council’s investigation after you obtained the basement, continue playing on that save beyond the ending. A player asked whether the stalled objective and a “No translation found” line meant the quest was broken. Steam marks the reply from Ian as a developer response: “You do need to continue playing beyond the ending to continue the quest!”

That answer confirms the important progression boundary. Seeing an ending is not the stop point for this quest. It does not confirm a precise number of additional days, so the reliable instruction is to continue normal play rather than count down an invented timer.

The developer reply answers one narrow question directly: post-ending play is required. Keeping that boundary matters because the thread does not supply a full Debasement walkthrough.

1. Load the save in which you obtained the basement and received Debasement.
2. Confirm the objective still says to wait for the council’s investigation.
3. Continue playing after the ending instead of treating the ending screen as the final progression boundary.
4. Let ordinary in-game time and activity continue; do not rely on an exact day count this source never provides.
5. Recheck the quest log as the save advances.

The thread does not say that starting a new save is required. It also does not identify a special location, item or conversation that forces the investigation to finish immediately.

A common way to make a short answer look complete is to invent a number of days or a specific trigger. The developer response does not contain either one. If the quest progresses after a certain interval in your save, that personal result still does not establish a universal timer for every version.

Continue meaningful play and watch the quest log. If an unusually long period passes with no change, record the game version, the exact objective text, the ending reached and how much post-ending time elapsed. Those details are useful for a bug report; they are not evidence that every player should follow a fixed countdown.

The original player also reported a missing-translation string in the quest stages. The checked developer reply does not say whether that text was later corrected. It therefore cannot be used here as proof of a current localization fix or as proof that the underlying quest state is corrupt.

Treat the message and the progression rule as separate observations. The visible text may look broken, while the confirmed answer is still to keep playing beyond the ending. This page makes no claim about when a localization patch shipped.
