After hours of trying to progress the main quest, I finally googled various topics and walkthroughs, read a lot of spoilers, and realized that there's probably a bug in my game.

The situation progressed like this:

- Geralt never spoke to Coleman (he was already dead the first time he saw him), so Vincent can't be cleared;

- Vivaldi and the merchant cleared;

- autopsy done, Geralt implicated Kalkenstein as a murderer, Ramsmeet cleared;

- Geralt talked to Ramsmeet telling him that he's cleared;

And now... Geralt goes to Raymond and realizes that his medallion is pulsing and there's a map on his wall. Raymond offers him to kill Ramsmeet. And that's it. If I disagree, I'm totally stuck, there's no way for the game to progress. If I agree and Geralt goes to Ramsmeet, he cannot kill him, because he's already cleared and won't even talk to him anymore. Not that I want him dead, Geralt already knows he's innocent.

After reading lots of spoilers I realized that one way to fix it could be to go into graveyard to implicate Raymond, but it isn't possible... The gravedigger sends Geralt to Thaler to "pay off a debt", and Thaler wants him to prove his innocence before helping him to enter the graveyard. And it isn't possible until enters it, right? Damn that's stupid. Vincent won't help, either, because Geralt never spoke to Coleman and Vincent is under suspicion. One online page suggests that you can "bluff" and tell Raymond that you killed Ramsmeet. But I can't do that, he keeps telling me to go to Ramsmeet.

Tell me how to fix the situation, please. That was a great game, until now. I'm willing to cheat, whatever, I just want to be able to play further. I never realized such bugs existed, and now I feel cheated if I have to give up on the game. />

Did you try telling Ramsmeet that Raymond wanted Geralt to kill him? I think you need to do this to bluff. Hmmm...anyway you could upload your save file?

Geralt can't talk to Ramsmeet at all. To upload a save I'd have to find it first, I'll try to do so.

But meanwhile I read elsewhere that it's actually possible to clear Thaler in a different way (not involving visiting the crypt), so I'll try that and will see if I can access the crypt after that. If Geralt goes to the crypt and finds Raymond, everything else should be reset, he'll know the truth.

Eventually the quest progressed. There was another way to get access to the crypt, that being the way to find a stranger nearby Thaler's house. After that Geralt went to the crypt and his new knowledge permitted him to overwrite all his previous thoughts.

Glad you've found the way forward!
