saving

The blasted game will NOT let me save while I'm at the ruins near the Ulmar hills! What's with that and how do I fix it?
THANKS!

This is usually due to one of two things:

1) A prolonged spell effect (like web or something)
2) Monsties nearby

If you check down in the battle-text window you usually get a message there.

If its not either of those, then I'm not sure. Are you fully patched?

i had the same trouble in the darnese keep, i count save and it gave the the s%$&s. so i went down a level and it woulnt let me save still. after about half an hour of play it let me. so maybe you need to wait or something.

The D'Arnisse keep is a known bug where Dalicia Caan interupts the guards dialogue to give her rant. The guard will also leave, but the game will expect his dialogue to finish and not allow save - "Cannot save while in dialogue mode". I believe there is a patch for that at Baldurdash.
As for Umar Hills.... don't know if the same thing can happen with the werewolf dialogues. It's probably due to area effect spells as shamrock saud.

it didnt mention dialog mode, it just said, you cannot save at this time

I had this happen a few times outside the guarded compound in temple district too.Had to go in the sewers to save,and later it would save just fine outside the compound. My guess is if you roam around a bit and return to the spot later you'll be able to save just fine.

If you're casting a spell such as find traps, which constantly repeat casts itself, you cannot save at the exact same time as a spell is cast. If you are doing such a spell, try repeatedly pressing "q" to quick save, and you should catch the gap between spell castings.

No spells, monsters, or dialogs were going on. I finally got the patch and now it works fine. I got through the shadows fine.
Thanks for your help though guys!
