Hi, first post here, Ive played and won this great game many times, and am again replaying it just doing things i havent done before and having fun. Had a few questions maybe someone knows
1. I cant get into the Pimilco estate, with korgan, after his tomb quest. he says the tomb was looted, etc, lets go to the estate. each time i get there, he says "were too late be careful" etc, but the door is LOCKED and cant get in. I can still go to the copper coronet and kill the former crew of his, but it doesnt update in the journal or give quest exp.
2. I cant get Edwin to talk about the nether scroll,,, and though i can kill the lich who has it, with Edwin in the party, he doesnt get or read the scroll
3. in Waukeens promenade, who is the guy to the far north, alone, outside the colliseaum walls. he is alone and not hostile, cant remember name
4. Do the lady and mr. Ophal do anything significant sitting in the promenade lower middle. they snub me, is that all they do?

thanks for any help. I have done the korgans/edwins quest before, so i know how they workd. but is something that i havent triggered them this time? I have won the game so am not afraid of hearing spoilers, thanks again

Welcome to Ironworks forums [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

1-You can go into Pimilco estate no matter what Korgan says. Did you try ti lockpick the door?
2-I think this is quite a known bug. Do you have the Latest patches and fixes? If not refer to Forum FAQ
3-Don`t know about this.
4-IIRC yes.

hi thanks for the reply. ive tried many times still cant get korgans quest to go. beacause ive already done it i know to go to the coronet roof, but even before that, pimilcos is permanently locked. it says he isnt seeing any stragers. with a level 20 theif, and knock spells,20 strength fighter to bash, nothing opens the door. the tomb has already been raided, etc. ive now gone back, restarted game, gotten korgan again, and same thing happens, Pimilco estate still locked. is the quest dependent on level or chapter? thanks again

As far as I know it doesn`t matter. Becuase a player just goes and picks up Korgan and the developers didn`t mean for the player to finish the quest until he is level X.

For the record: it does not.

Hi, thanks/ well installed the patch, no luck. tried several times again, and pimilcos is still locked, says hes not seeing any strangers. i know this wasnt a major quest but cant figure out why it wont trigger, or access. journal gets updated in tombs and advises to head them off, but still no luck with the door. Is alignment have anything to do with triggering the quest? or what if I am going to temple for the first time? do i need to go several times before it triggers? anyways thanks for your help I will figure it out eventually because it is driving me nuts

do you have any mods? i believe some part of some mod messes up atleast the edwin quest. havent figured out which part of which mod, though...

AFAIK, he's not important. He might be involved with an NPC quest, but probably not.

If you're in the mood for new discoveries, try taking a walk around the outside of the Promenade at night. [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you're talking about who I think you're talking about - No he does not have any serious impact on the game. But try to talk to him with Minsc in your party, He'll have something nice to say about Boo.

This may be a stupid question but are you sure you completely finished Korgans quest in the graveyard? Korgan has a dialog with you once you reach the end of the passage and he sees the tomb is looted. Did you experience this dialog? You probably have but I thought I'd ask just in case.

i think i can help out.
when you got edwin and korgan in your party and then start korgans and edwins quest in the graveyard district you HAVE to do edwins quest first. go for nevaziah and trigger the dialogue, be sure korgan is in sight of him too.
korgan will ask nevaziah about the book of kaza and the lich's former scholar. then edwin will force the fight and find his scroll. don't claim it to be party treasure, just ask him if he will use it to improve the party.
now go for korgans quest as you would normally do.
