Welcome to the board. If you have time why not head over to the general discussions forum and introduce yourself?
As to your question where did you speak to Jan? In the Government district? Or at his house after you've solved his little problem with a certain official?

Well, the others are silent, so I'll try to answer although it won't be too optimistic. The friend of mine had the same problem - he refused to buy turnips during the first conversation with Jan and after that was never able to get him into the party

. Sorry, it seems that you can't do anything to make Jan join now

. Of course, may be there are some Shadowkeeper (or whatever) things that can improve the situation, but I'm not a specialist. Hope someone will be around with a suggestions soon!

And welcome to the forum!

IIRC you need to talk to Jan to trigger an event - so maybe you made the wrong dialogue choice. Anyways, what's supposed to happen is that a certain official will appear and threaten to throw Jan to jail for illegal selling o fturnips or whatever. SOlve the problem for him, and Jan will return to his house. Then go see him at his house and you'll be able to get him to join.
That's what's supposed to happen anyway. Perhaps you have a recent save to reload? You *did* save often, didn't you?

I did save often but i talked to him a LONGGGGGGG time ago, I have done some quests since then. oh come on there must be some way to reactivate him and start the sequence.

Unfortunately, if you refuse to "see his wares" the first time you talk to Jan, he will never talk to you again.
