When i finish the Pellar quest and save his goat the all the villagers in the world are locked in a permanent state of fear.
they keep yelling "run!" and "save me!" and all that stuff.

this also breaks various questgivers!
The questgiver for Jenny 'O the woods contracts only yells "help!" and I cant initiate a dialogue.

I have tried to solve the pellar quest in different ways, Axii sign, violence, non violent but the results are the same.

i cant play the game for 100+ hours with this hanging around :(

Remove all of your mods and verify/repair your game.

no mods. and i tried to verify

I tried re-installing but no luck.

I suppose I'll have to try a fresh game and rush through to that quest and see if it happens again, so many hours lost.
But thanks for your help if yno one has any other suggestions.

Sometimes game saves get corrupted. I don't know why. You can try to reload a previous save from before you accepted the Pellar's quest, and see if that will fix things. Doing that would - in theory - allow the game to reset whatever marker it saved that made the whole world terrified of Geralt, Goat-saver.

Also, make sure that you've got the most recent version of the game. You said you re-installed, so you probably do, but double-check one more time. The release version of Blood and Wine caused strange behaviour with some quests for some people, for some reason. I blame demons. Now, if only we had some coins to pool to hire a Witcher to take care of them...

was wearing the red vampire armor + mask on ng+ from previous run and thought they fear me because of this.
