Wendersnaven

[arkhan]

In Chapter 3 we get the quest to have the Wendersnaven as allies but with all the game bugs I found so far, I'm afraid a new one arouse!

I took Grobnar to talk to the two "idiots" in Fort Llast and after some "nonsense" talk they told me about a place where I could find the Wendersnaven.

I went there and 2 things happened:
1) Found a body with a book *SPOILER* telling the Wendersnaven where not around (orcs instead) - this didn't affect anything in my quest journal... The same happen to everybody?

2) I got a message telling me that Guyven of the Road should know about that place, but when I return to the Keep and talk to Guyven... no new option appears... bug? Anyone?

I really hope somebody can help me...

It does sound like you have a bug with Guyven. try leaving the keep and coming back. This might trigger your chat options with him. I lose Grobnar in the basement some times and have to leave and come back for him to show up. (very annoying)

Did Grobnar find the invisable instrusment after you ran into the body? You didn't mention it so I'm wondering. This triggers a chat with him.

Hope this helps.

I walked around the corpse but never got any message regarding any invisible instruments... Anything I should have done?

Try clicking on the body again? This should have happened after you found the poems. The gnome stubbs his toe on the instrument.

Well, 1st time that i´ve played without the final patch had no probs. Second time (because of the light of heavens bug) played with the last patch and happened the same...he says that guyen would like to hear about that place and the conversation doesn´t appear (and i think it wasn´t the only one with guyen).
That way you have no acess to the spot outside the keep that he reveals to you.
This game has so many bugs that even if you dont want to cheat you have to do it sometimes (i had to use the giveitem feature for the mephasm charm cause de recipe always said invalid)- and that is a turn off - and the patchs emend one thing and bust another...
I´ve tried seeing in the xml what would trigger that conversation but the only thing i was able to do was beeing able to go to the two fools again like they had never given the map to me (but the quest remained completed, so those weren´t the right lines).
As i grew tired of so many bugs i´ve made me a powerfull weapon in the toolset and ended the game quickly thinking in reinstaling the 1st nwn to remove this deception from my head.

I got other bug with guyen... I found a eagles nest and I got the message "tell guyen" but when I returned to him.. nothing appeared...

Well in this case the bug still remains and I thinks is because Grobnar is "upset" with the rest of the party.... he always remains in the place where he appears and he follows no one... (but when I looked at the body I was using grobnar and the rest of the party followed him... they don't resent him :D)

I have had the exact same bugs involving the "You should tell Gyven" stuff.

So that puts the "rediculously game and quest altering bug count" that ive experienced to 5. Sweeeeeet

I think its probably best just to wait... 2 months, re install the game, and try again. Maybe then it will actually be "finished"


Oh.. Sidenote.

Did anyone fully expect the wendersnaven to randomly show up while the Undead were attacking the keep. That would have made every short coming of this game dissapear for me. I seriously Love Grobnar.

lol.. i'm still having some problems figuring out what the heck the wendersnaven are... some kinda invisible freak show? :p

Giant invisible rats, yea! :D Something that makes Grobnar go on, anyway :p

I'm suprised so many people's games have been buggy.
Sure, i've had my share of bugs, but it seems like every trigger action in the game have at least one bug that people have stumbled across.

The wendersnaven:
A short cutscene will trigger when you're walking towards the body.
After looting the book another cutscene will trigger, where grobnar "finds" his invisible instrument.
After that, the quest is pretty much done. Fight the orcs on your way from the area, find the ore in the area, and leave.

Tell Guyven about the area.

That's the way everything should happen anyway...
