NPC quests not starting

Jesper · 04-13-2005, 06:27 PM

Hi everybody!

Long-time reader, first-time poster.

This is probably the 5th or 6th time playing BGII and for some reason or other neither "Anomen's Murdered Sister" nor "Nalia's Father's Funeral" mini-quest begins although I am day 63 into the game...?

Is there a way to CLUA the messengers or otherwise jumpstart these mini-quests?

Have tried visiting Anomen's home but his father's guard won't let him in. Every other time I have played BGII Anomen was always asked to come home within two days, but not this time...

I did Nalia's Keep quest, left her because I play a mage and then came back for her. But now I have had her for a week, and still... no funeral?

I'm guessing you rest a fair bit?

These quests are on random timers, which work on real time, rather than game time. This means simply there are two ways to hurry things up a bit:
1) Find and adjust the right timers. Adjusting them is easy: CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("timer-name. "GLOBAL", 0) or possibly CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("timer-name", "LOCALS", 0), which will trigger it immediately (the second one needs you to mouse over the character). Finding them is harder, involving either looking through the variable names in ShadowKeeper, or using WeiDU to look through the relevant dialogues and scripts.

The second way is easier.
Pause the game. Go do something else for a few days. Come back. Unpause. Every timer in the game will go off at once.

Ok, maybe a few days is a bit too long. A couple of hours should work. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, I have been playing for 30+ hours real time so I don't know how much longer I can wait. I have downloaded and installed the official patch from the Ironworks site.

It is day 87 in the game and Anomen just started romancing my female PC, something he used to start doing a lot quicker as far as I recall...

Finally, Anomen's quest began and now we've been to his test also. But no matter how long I pause the game, Nalia's father's funeral won't begin.

I tried talking to her and then she gave me a few lines as if we were still fighting in the keep and had just killed TorGal and found her father??

After that she shut up, my journal was updated (again) but when I tried to go back to the keep for one more farewell there were nobody at the stockade?

So, I'm about to give up on this but before I do, does anyone know how to CLUA in the messenger asking Nalia to go to the funeral? That is all I can think of right now...

Cheers
