Interesting. Well I guess they've reconciled their differences on some level because the new Icewind Dale II coming out in August has Interplay/BioWare/Black Isle all over it. Actually, so do my IWD and HoW boxes.

wELL, THANKS GUYS, but your hints haven't helped. I still haven't found Torin nor the key to that door. I've gone back to those areas again and searched everything that glows when I push the Tab key. I've even gone back to the temple of Tyr and looked in the pool. The door behind the cult building ...

I bet the decision about importing your characters from BGII to NWN had more to do with the legal wrangling over intellectual rights involved in Atari taking over from Interplay than it did with rules incompatibility. I don't know the history exactly but I remember something about a lawsuit between ...

I made a lawful evil ranger (and shortly multi-classed him as a monk) with a bald head, black skin, and red tattoos named Sith who wields a double-sword with Weapon Focus and the Dual-Wield benefits of a ranger. And like the guy said above, the character sheet doesn't tell you anything, but reading ...

I can't find the missing brother Torin - the guy that got mixed up with the cult in the Beggar's Nest in Chapter one. I think I've searched every single box, chest, and crate in the district but I haven't found a key to open that warded door in the extreme NW corner of the Beggar's Nest. Where do I ...

Knowing the Invincible Squirrel is mortal is almost as good as knowing its secret! How did you kill it?!??!?!?! Did you use some kind of cheat code like ctrl + Y in BGII to deal 1147 hp of damage? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!

Thanks kopywrite, now I know I'm not insane. This morning I played a little after having done the things I mentioned above but without re-installing the official patch (26498) and it kept happening. I think I've isolated it to a glitch with ToB. Like kopywrite says it didn't happen before I loaded ...

I don't think it's my 'rig'. I have quite a powerful computer: 128k RAM and 850 Mhz and I defrag fairly regularly. As an experiment, last night I reinstalled SoA and ToB without the ToB patch and it seemed to erradicate the problem although I haven't had time to play it much yet. We'll see...

After I loaded ToB my game started freezing after my party arrived in new areas. When the load screen clears there's about a second of movement and then the whole game locks up and becomes unresponsive for a little while, sometimes almost a whole minute. Anyone know a fix for this bug?

Oops! I wonder why that showed up in SYM. I thought I was posting it in IWD. Sorry.

I loaded Trials of the Luremaster before I got my party members all up to 9th level in the 'full game' and then went to see the old shaman in Kuldahar. When I got to Lonelywood I found that my world map had gone black! I couldn't leave Lonelywood for the barbarian's camp or even look at the map. It ...

Alright, nobody has been forthcoming about the secret squirrel quest. What good is a forum if you can't learn anything. Somebody help me out! Does the squirrel in Easthaven have a skeleton in its closet or what? I've noticed that he's invulnerable - is he a relative of the squirrel that shares a ...

What means 'spoiler thread'. Is that kind of like a serial spoiler, one hint at a time?

No, couldn't take him to the arbor...how do you spell that? That was my first guess. Besides, who has time to take a squirrel across land and dale to a ruined elven fortress full of ghosts when the living population of such a lovely tourist attraction like Easthaven is inslaved by half-naked one ...

And so the mystery continues. Will we ever truly know the identity of the invisible squirrel? Perhaps it is an avatar of the demi-god Rocky? Perhaps he stepped through a portal in Sigil while searching the multiverse for his proxy Bullwinkle, only to find himself in a sad winterlocked village. Well ...

In Easthaven, near Hrothgar's house, there's a squirrel on the ground surrounded by children. The squirrel is invincible and cannot be killed and is still present when you return to Easthaven at the end of the game. What is the story with this squirrel? Is there a subplot built around it or what? I ...

Thanks for the tip. I did kill him with the Mace of Disruption, or rather, Minsc did. I guess I should download the patch so it doesn't happen next time I get there. Unfortunately, I started over and didn't save that game - well, I guess the patch probably wouldn't make him materialize in his coffin ...

Well, here I am again. I've found another reference to the same problem and it looks like I'm going to have to reload the whole game. That Lassal bastard sure *$##*@s things up doesn't he?

I have this problem too, but I can't Lassal in the spike room. I've checked every corner, coffin, crevice, and urn two or three times!

I defeated Lassal (as well as every other undead creature under the Graveyard District in Athkatla) but he didn't return to his coffin and so I can't stake him and make Bodhi appear. As a result I can't finish Chapter III. He didn't go to the spike room upstairs either. I fear I have a bug, and if ...
