Talk:Flesh for Sale/@comment-44867943-20200129215607

CD Projekt Red responded to the criticism about this quest, "Flesh for Sale," 5 years ago:

"Quest Designers decided that Hammond is away pillaging during Flesh for Sale. This is why it is possible to do it only before Following the Thread. After Geralt and Lambert find out where Hammond is from Vienne, Pirate gets warned that someone is looking for him and changes his ways. After killing Hammond, re-enabling Flesh for Sale would not make sense, as his pirate crew is left without leader. Please try to think of it as a story in open world, not to-do list. "

It just sucks for completionists like myself, but I can understand the design decision behind it, some guy seemed to have attempted to access "Flesh for Sale" quest through console commands (which was a good idea), but it didn't generate any discussion 2 years ago:
