I'm playing Baldur's Gate 1 with the original engine, Balderdash fixpack, and unfinished business. I just recrui9ted Kagain, and I understand something is supposed to open when you go to the area north of Beregost to the caravan that was raided. I've walked in circles around the area but nothing happens. Does anyone have any experience with this?

From the author of the mod:

"What UB does to Kagain's quest is the following:

-adds the body of the boy to the area "CoastWay" with the caravan
-Makes Kagain notice and comment the body as you already mentioned.

That's it. It's the dialogue that is in Kagain's dlg file which wasn't used in the game, so UB made it available."


Kagain should make a comment about his reputation being in the mud when he finds the dead son of Duke Entar Silvershield. I think you also find a family heirloom or else the heirloom is just there to identify the dead boy as a Silveshield.
UB does very little to Kagain and his quest. It doesn't do anything to the Silvershields in Baldur's Gate (except for the option to place Entar in his estate) for example, so Kagain's quest is at en end when you find the dead boy.
IIRC there is also a time limit. If you wait too long to find the caravan you won't find the the dead boy.

You can use the heirloom to get into the family home in bg... a certain bard npc wants to go there to see/ collect his gf.

You mean get past the guards or butler?
Last time I played I remember having to pick the lock to enter the estate. Also, I remember UB placing Entar himself in the estate, but you couldn't talk to him about his son.
I also used the BG1 NPC Project mod, so it's not always clear what's vanilla, what's UB and what's the NPC Project...

Yes, I opened the front door with a ‘Knock’ spell then told the guy down stairs that I have news about their son. I then told the wife/ mum the bad news before taking her daughter to have our wicked why with... from memory I also got a small experience reward from the mum but it’s been a while.
