Wanted Men quest inquiry

[MrWizard]

Hello,

Level 66, have completed Ruthless Crackshot and Another Ruthless Crackshot. Im trying to start the Wanted Men quest and when I locate them on the map I get a message saying "you should get a better understanding of who these men are before you crash rhe party." I've talked to everyone i can think of and I can't seem to begin the Wanted Men quest, and I need to complete it in order to access the new content. Please help!!

Does it not allow you to go meet the men?

You just haven't thought of an obvious thing: try to find out what they are saying

by spying or eavesdropping

Hmm so I managed to speak with the men and went through all of the dialogue. My quest log is stuck at "Tye sketchy looking men turned out to be...they were hiding out in the woods." The men left their camp site for their hideout, which they gave me a location for in the dialogue, but I can't find it anywhere! I can go to the cave by the train tracks but it won't let me enter, it says a voice yells out and I can't go in.

Is this a bug? I feel like my quest log should have updated and I'm left without any further information about what to do.

I've gone to the Thieves Guild and spoke with Trou leaker and he has no relevant dialogue.

Here is the quest log. Sorry about autocorrect in previous post, I meant to say "troublemaker."

I loaded a previous save and engaged with the group of men east of Sullengard. My quest log updated a few more times during the conversation before they left, so I am hopeful that i can now continue. I am 300K experience (and many items and gold) back, but that's not a big deal at this level.

I will update once I've had a chance to look for their hideout and talk to Troublemaker.

I am able to progress the quest from an old save.
