Bug causing disappearance of items and accidental item duplicating.
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 10:39 pm
Hello there!
I have no clue if I'm posting this in the right forum section or whatever since this is the first time I'm posting anything at all in these forums. If this is the wrong section or whatever it might be called here, I ask any admin who might read this, to move my thread to the proper place.
Having that said, I have a group consisting of my male Wild Mage, Korgan, Jan and Viconia. I had been romancing Viconia and it was such a long time since I played BG2 that I had forgotten about bodhi's little abduction scheme when you come to battle her for the last time. Now, the problem is this: Bodhi stole Viconia from me, Viconia dropped her stuff on the ground, including the Bag of Holding. Stupid as I am, I saved the game, figuring "why would there be a problem?" or rather, not figuring anything at all, "why should I", right? Well, when I picked up the stuff, it seems that everything that was IN the Bag of Holding, was not in it anymore, it had been emptied. Now, when you pick up something from the ground there is something you could describe as the "ground inventory", the usual 'slots' where you see what's on the ground when you pick up loot etc. My theory is that everything that was in my Bag of Holding didn't 'fit' into these slots, there were too few slots, so approximately the 'top third' of all the stuff that was in the bag, got duplicated, or more accurately said, tripled and the rest was lost. All of the sudden I had 3 Maevar's strongbox Key, 3 Silver Swords, 3 Clubs of the whatever, and so on. Since all the stuff that was 'on top' in the bag was stuff that had been in the bag for a long time (like the piece of red cloth^^), all my good stuff that was in the bottom is just gone.
Have anyone else encountered this same bug? How should I solve it? I know there are loads of cheats but I have never used any of them before and I would love it if anyone would give me instructions on what to do, if you know that it works. If no one seems to 'know' for certain, any suggestions would be appreciated. Viconia is level 30 so I can't just kick her out of the party :S
