Thanks for the endorsement! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

But vesselle's question is a valid one. The answer is "YES", to the best of my knowledge, my game is fully patched on the PC I was using. I have FINALLY managed to get my MAIN PC fixed once and for all (I hope) and I am currently in the process of RE-Installing BG2 along with the patches and various Weidu Mods on it. When I installed the latest TOB patch, I hit "Run" instead of "Save" and it downloaded the patch to the Temporary Internet folder instead of the SoA folder, but it did seem to install correctly. All the Mods have been Saved into my SoA folder, but I haven't actually begun installing any of them yet.

Originally posted by Riftmaker: Cerek, try checking where the Illithium quest usually goes. This would be that house in the Bridge District with that dwarf with those dead kids and such. If you didn't get a reference to go to there from the brother, then it's possible that the Illithium part of UB is broken...but I doubt it. Maybe you just overlooked something.

Neither Ungar or his brother made any reference to the Bridge District, so it is quite possible this portion of U.B. is "broken". I just hope I didn't screw up by telling the ore merchant to go ahead and get the alloy. Then again, I would HAVE to tell her that if I planned to keep the pure stuff for myself anyway...so maybe the I'm not FUBARRED yet on the illithium. I have to wait for a day before getting the alloy. After that, I will go back to Ungar and see if he mentions the Bridge District.

One odd thing is that - even though he thanks me for saving his brother - the brother doesn't actually appear on the screen while I'm in the Copper Coronet. I expected to find him standing beside Ungar, but nobody is there. Then again, that particular corner of the Coronet is a bit "buggy" when it comes to showing characters anyway.

In my very first game, I had given Nalia the Staff of Magi and told her to wait for me at the Coronet. She went into the corner behind Ungar's table. Later on, I naturally wanted to give the Staff to Imoen, but Nalia had it equipped when she left the party - so she was INVISIBLE!!!! I knew she was right there, but I couldn't make her "appear" for love nor money. I tried everything - including attacking her - to force to turn visible, but it didn't work. I finally had to go back to the Saved Game where I originally kicked Nalia out of the party and UN-EQUIP the Staff.

BTW, don't ask why I didn't take Nalia and the staff WITH me to Spellhold - because I honostly can't remember. (so see, I am a bit of an idiot at times. )
