Lessons Learned - Cloned Retainer logic bug

When you travel to Bragga's enchantment shop to speak with the gal from the bank ... after you click on the final dialog choice and say goodbye -- the developers decided you would not have a clue where to go next to complete the quest ... so ... your Retainer magically appears in the shop *Behind You* with a question mark prompt and the profound dialog of 'I'll meet you back in the workshop'.

Since the retainer appears behind you, and you may turn left and just walk out of the shop ... and back to your workshop where you recall the quest began ... you will find your Retainer standing next to the Workbench ... with no dialog related to the quest ... further confusing you.

Since I did this quest on multiple characters, I knew to go back to Bragga's shop and speak to the Retainer there first. **Others may not find that so obvious a choice** and get hopelessly lost in the quest.

I would suggest .... extending your dialog with the bank gal a bit like "Enjoy your Tea "while I return to the Workshop"

BTW, when you enter Bragga's Shop a message streams across the screen "Your Companion cannot help you here" .... seemed like an appropriate message for the Workshop as well ... perhaps it is the Consistent and Expected programming logic planned for the 'Companion slouched over and sleeping because he is bored' bug???

Hopefully this will get clarified soon.
