GameBanshee Forums

I scanned the forum, but I haven't found anything related to this topic so I'm opening a new one.

I'm in Chapter 2 of this game and I'm in the Archelogist Camp. After I arrived there, I talked with Jax and got a key from him to open the barracks and a quest to find a book. I enterd the barracks and talked with Revat, the simpleton, and got a second quest to find his mother. I went out and cleared the caves of monsters and freed his mother. I went back to revat to claim my price (exp and gcs). I tried talking to Lendon at the back of the house, but he won't speak to me. He is busy attacking the dummy for whatever reason. I read somewhere that I'm supposed to get a quest from him and this quest involves getting the head of the leader troll. This is my problem: I can't seem to get him to talk to me. Is there any console command to make him stop attacking the dummy and to talk to me. I don't want to go back because my previous saved game was before I arrived in Port Llast.

Please help and thanks in advance.

What version of the game are you running. I recall haveing seen this problem before, but can't recall where and what the solution was. I'll try to look around.

If you run anything but the latest version - I'd advice you to update the game, seeing as it might have been fixed.

Other then that - I have no advice at the moment.

Thanks for the quick response. My version is 1.30.7041 English. I'll try to update it now.

The update was cancelled after it had encounter problems with my nwmain.exe file. *sigh* Oh, well. I'll just skip this quest.

Well - that problem I belive leads to a problem with the patcher - I've had it myself.
The only solution to that, seems to be to download the "critical rebuild" as they call it, to update the program. The download is a 75meg and is availble at the various sub-pages where you download patches from:

http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patch.html

Sorry, but can I have a step-by-step guide? Should I download the "critical rebuild" first before clicking on the "update" button? What version should I download?

A friend of mine told me that when you enter the barracks the first time, you should pause first, then click on Lendon to initiate the dialogue. I was not able to do this and I have already cleared the caves, so I really don't want to start over with it. I'll just see if I can still talk to Lendon though, but if not well I guess I just have to move on.

As far as I remember - you just need to download the critical patch for the patch you wish to upgrade to. So if you enter the patch for 1.32 (either SoU, or original depending on wether or not you have SoU installed), there is a 75meg critical patch on the page. You download and run the patch, and it should work from there on out.

(ALthough I had to run the critical patch last two times I updated )

what to do

I had this same problem and found if I just moved around the guy a little and kept trying to talk to him eventually he would stop what he was doing and respond - - - hope this helps but probably you are way beyond this point now anyway - - lol

Press the ~ sign on your keyboard then type in DebugMode =1
Type dm_setfactiondefender

Lenton should stop attacking the dummy and you should now be able to talk to him. After you talked to him re-enter command mode and type in DebugMode=0.
