A few issues Options

[andargor]

Hi,

First, thanks for the hard work. I've been enjoying NeJ for a couple of days now. There are a few issues I would like to highlight. And I'm also stuck without knowing where to go.

Here goes:

• I thought it was a brand new mod, and not a modified IWD import. The README is in the mod download itself (it should be posted here, or did I miss it?), but unless I'm blind it does not mention this fact. It would have been good to know.
• On Yxunomei's level (TT4005), I was not able to get back to the previous level (CTD when taking the stairs back). I know Vlad said forget CLUA in another post, but I used it to get back up one level (TT4004). I could get out fine after that. I tried with a previous save game and entered Yxunomei's level, and exited right away, which would CTD as well. So it's nothing that happens on that level which makes it crash.
• In the Severed Hand, killing all of Kaylessa's warriors did not make her dialogue change, nor was XP received. I had to kill her without her asking me to.
• I saw some posts about Larrel's dialogue, and I also found it confusing. Hrothgar would interject at whatever option I chose between Kuldahar and the future. I did not see Dorn's Deep as an option. My biggest beef was that all conversations from that point on were railroaded towards getting back to the future, with no "Don't worry Hrothgar, I'm just checking my options at this point. We're here to help you" branch available, and no way to exit the conversation. Also, with Larrel, there were no "Larrel, let's not travel right now, I have to consider what I am going to do carefully" branch. So there was no way to back out. I had to reload a few times to get the options I wanted, and even then the result was... confusing.
• This is where I am stuck: it seems I have no other option at this point to take the portal in Kuldahar or use the Astrolabe. Both of these take me to a point where Tilorn and three other mages confer over my failing life. Tilorn casts a spell, and the game CTDs. I have heard mention of an "Orrick", but I do not know who that is...
• When the party returned from the Hand to Kuldahar, I entered in Urnst the Potter's shop. My party immediately attacked him. Normal?

That's it. I'll try to figure out why I'm stuck...

- In the second time in Irenicus' dungeon, before going to Athkatla, Imoen's banter goes to the effect "It's so cold here... stamping feet in the snow". Erm.

First, the timer for this banter is setup for TWO_DAYS. It means you returned to Irenicus' dungeon in two-three days? Is it possible?

Second this banter won't take place in areas other than:

OR(7)
AreaCheck("TT1000")
AreaCheck("TT1200")
AreaCheck("TT2000")
AreaCheck("TT2001")
AreaCheck("TT3000")
AreaCheck("TT3600")
AreaCheck("TT4000")

So far I cannot confirm this problem.

- In Halruaa, the shelves in Lavallin's shop and the museum paintings sure have strange descriptions. "I said leave the lady alone!". For that matter, I saw several "lines" like this as item descriptions while browsing with SK. Probably some strrefs gone awry.

Yes, thank you for this report, it has been already fixed in the latest patch v6.0a.

- This has been mentioned before: the chapter narratives are speeded up to chipmunk speed as soon as Irenicus' dungeon is exited. "Engines 1/3!... Engines 2/3!... Flank Speed!... 3/4 Impulse!... Warp 9.8!... Ridiculous Speed!... Chipmunk Speed!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Well, I have watched this movie so many times that decided to speed it up a little bit. Seriously, I didn't touch it, it was a well-known bug of BioWare long before I made NeJ.
