The game isn't changed: I noticed however that you get the new quest objective ("Follow Vesemir") BEFORE you can take the skull. So technically the searching of the skull is part of the "Follow Vesemir" objective.
 * You kill the ghouls.
 * You search and take the skull.
 * You mount your horse and follow Vesemir.

I changed the documentation because after completing an objective a checkpoint save game is made. If you load the one made after killing the ghouls, you'll have to start with the skull.
