I've just started playing BG2 having completed both BG1 and TOSC. However having spent an entire night trying to figure out what on earth to do on level 1 of BG2 I'm rather irrated. After several hours I gave up an consulted an internet walkthrough... (spoiler but its on level one so its not like its anything interesting)
basically the walkthrough told me that I had to talk to a sewage golem, but whenever I try and talk to it I get that oh so irrating message : "cannot initate dialogue, sewage golem seems busy".
So I reload a game next to the sewage golem, and it refuses to say anything to me. I check another internet guide, which also says talk to the golem, in fact I'm totally sure thats exactly what I have to do. However it just wont say anything to me. I've tried having the activation stone, I've tried not having the activation stone, I've tried restarting the game again, it just wont say anything to me, and so I cant get the past the doors that it opens.
help...
