IWD2 Mod Noob

Post by Philos »

I finally got around to install mods on some of my Infinity Engine games. I
started with IWD2 as the files were not too big and easy to download. I was
impressed how easily they install (that was one worry I had when first reading about them).

I installed The Bonus Merchant, Ease of Use (probably about half of the choices as a number were very unbalancing at least to me), and Targos Undead. I knew that the Undead mod was much harder. How much harder was surprising! I worked my way though the docks, actually had stop and rest before I could finish the warehouse. Never had to do that before.

I did all the Fed-Ex quests but ran into a minor snag on one, here is where I needed some help/advise. It involves putting the spirit Viera to rest.

When I went go to get the piece of Donovan's ship from Gohar in The Salty Dog to put Viera at rest, he told me to go to the small ship just past the light house and get it from the ship's hold. I went and checked, but it was not there. Ended up having my cleric exorcise poor Viera as I could not
find the piece anywhere in the docks. Less XP and certainly less money in the pocket as I could not get a tear and sell it to Elithyrra. The only thing I can think of is that I did loot the boat early on (getting a bottle of wine, a dagger and a few GP, wooo hooo) well before doing the run and fetch quests. Before the mods were installed Gohar simply handed you the piece.
I suspect it might be part of the "Ease of Use" mod, but wonder if the Targos Undead conflicted with this?! I was wondering if anyone else ran into this and how you fixed/solved it?

Thanks!
