Was this quest supposed to fail?

Was this quest supposed to fail? - Quest Letter Blocks

After getting the Writ to partake in the Dragon Hunt one of the quests you get given by Maximilian is to recapture a stronghold taken by goblins (The Shadow Fort).

After opening the gate, killing all the small fry goblins and almost killing one of the ogres/trolls (what ever those giants are) all the soldiers got killed and my quest updated to report my failure.

Now at first I thought this was what was supposed to happen however this was on the assumption that all quests were linear, I was corrected in this assumption in the quest Land Opportunity where one of my hired Pawn indicated I could just by the land rather than force the current tenants out, wanting to confirm I went back and found I could by the land for 80k.

So I am wondering, with the quest which saw me try and retake the shadow fort, was this supposed to have failed or did I screw up? If the latter what effect will this have on me later on down the line

Is it possible to not fail any quests Witcher 3?

The Witcher 3 has a few quests that can actually auto-fail if you aren't careful. Avoid that happening with this walkthrough guide. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has many points of no return, and several of them put a deadline on important decisions Geralt needs to make to secure the best ending.

What happens if you fail missing in action on the Witcher 3?

If you're a completionist, you will definitely want to make sure you complete Missing in Action while you can. Once the quest is gone, it's gone. If you miss this quest and don't complete it in time, you won't be able to return to it later.

Should you spare Karadin Witcher 3?

You can choose either to spare Karadin or help Lambert kill him. Lambert will be angry with Geralt if you insist on leaving Karadin, but there will be no real consequences to the quest as it will not impact Geralt's future interacations with Lambert. Regardless of the choice, the two will go on their separate ways.
