0011694: Can't investigate rulers/bosses after hearing their name
This issue has been around for a long time. If you ask about the local ruler and get the name, that name doesn't appear when you ask about their reputation or directions to them. You have nothing to go on if that leader isn't present at their seat of power.

Same thing if you ask someone's profession and they tell you who they work for, you don't get the options to learn more unless they're in an existing rumor. In which case you could've asked anyone else, so this information gives you no leverage for further investigation.
No tags attached.

Related bug: I wrested the name of a conspirator's boss by intimidation, but can't ask about his boss's character or location. The intrigue section of the journal shows that he's the highest known in the organization, but he already revealed he's working for someone else.
