I got the Nether scroll and all for Edwin, but he doesn't seem to be undergoing his transformation. I got it before going off to Spellhold, and now that I've gotten back, done D'arnise, the Unseeing Eye and partway through the Planar Sphere, he still hasn't changed. What triggers it? Or is this some bug? Thanks! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I thought it was timed.

Well, I've been waiting quite a while... at least 50 days game time.

Sounds like a bug then. You could see if there is a way to use teh CLUA console or soemthing to trigger it?

it's a bug then. I had the nether scrolls before going off for Imoen, and the moment I came back from the underdark, he transformed (in the middle of the convo with Elhan [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ). Are you patched?

Yes I am, completely patched. Do you know what I put in to start it up? Or could I just change something in Shadowkeeper?

look for something in SK. I'm not sure what variable it is, but under global variables, look for something along the lines of Edwin Transformation or something to do with edwin and the nether scrolls. If the value is 0, you should probably change it to 1. If it's already 1, then it probably either needs to be changed to 0 or 2. I'm not really sure, so you may want to play around with it a little bit.

its timed real time and not game time. try leaving the game overnight paused. might solve the problem.

Hmm... does Baldurs Gate have to be 'open'? I mean, can it just be minimized or something, or does it have to be active?

Best to keep it active... Mute it and turn off the monitor, no worries.

Okay, I'll try that tonight, see if it works. [img]smile.gif[/img]

When you say "fully patched," do you mean the official patch only, or the official patch + baldurdash?

IIRC, there's a bug that was never properly fixed in the official patch. Basically, either the "that's party treasure" response or the "go ahead and take it Edwin" response should set the transformation in motion. However, due to a bug, the party treasure response would keep it from occuring. I think Baldurdash fixed that.

I don't know this has been fixed in any patch, but if when Edwin discovers the Nether Scroll you tell him it is party treasure the quest doesn't proceed and he doesn't "transform". If you tell him it's his to use then the quest will proceed. So, I'm afraid if you told him it's the parties treausre nothing will happen...

EDIT: I see Masterepeph has posted this just before I posted.

If it isn't that you could have a bug as the quest really should have proceded by now.

Sir Goulom, did you get any comments from Edwin that he was making progress in his studing of the scroll?

Master- Baldurdash&Bioware

Zarr- No, but I seem to have fixed it... I changed a couple of values in Shadowkeeper, then talked to Edwin a couple of times, and it seems to be going fine now. [img]smile.gif[/img]
