i cant find edwin anywhere! hes just not where hes supposed to be. i have alot of mods installed, some installed quite messily, so i think that may be the problem. imoens dialogue also didnt trigger in Irenicus's dungeon, though it tried to...anyway, i was thinking of CLUAing him in, but i realized i dont remember the way im supposed to enter the CLUA code in...anyone willing to enlighten me?

Well if we would know wich Mods you have installed will help a lot.

I assume you have BGT installed?
It's a common bug there for Edwin (at Mae'Var's), Viconia (at the stake) and Imoen (in the spellhold maze) to be missing.
code is

If you use BGT and want to keep old Edwin's stats hopefully you still have a savegame from BG1 before he left. Although it's supposed to work fluently it doesn't yet, so you have to CLUA in standard Edwin and start SKeeping him to his old values.
