After completing the early quests ‘servant of God’ and also ‘Of rats and raiders’. I was given a bounty that was in the area above the 2 level cave system (near the waterfall) in the Nameless Pass part of the map. This area above the cave system isn’t accessible until later on in the game but I was given a bounty for that area anyway. Minor bug but thought I’d mention
I think there just isn’t any discernment on what PART of an area you may or may not have access to. Because you could just progress the story and gain access to that part of the area while you possess the bounty. Some are daily, some are weekly; so it doesn’t really know your pacing. You could accept today, and finish it in 6 days later and by then you can access the area.
Same for areas or corners that you simply haven’t unlocked yet from exploration. It’s hard for the system to discern that.
But yea, I can see how it might be not ideal from an angle that you are not able to run out and complete the bounty immediately on accepting it.
Well sheeet I was not looking at it from that angle. Yeah you’re right I could accept it and then haul ass through the story, unlock that area and then complete it. However I did stop questing and spend about an hour trying every possible route (I had access to) to get there thinking there must be a route I missed. Ah well live and learn
