I recently downloaded this game and got to the first encounter with Elanee but she never shows up. When I get to Highcliff characters react as though Elanee is in my group. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and Downloading the files again. Nothing works. I have Windows 8.

The GOG installer should already be handling this, but make sure that the game is not installed in Program Files. You might also want to try running the game as admin. I remember seeing somewhat similar issues where events wouldn't trigger because certain state markers weren't being saved due to permissions issues.

To be clear, you don't get her until after Highcliff and only if you leave from the back of the fort...

... by this point in the gog game you have already had movie clips so that should not be a problem unless you have installed a new movie player like crome or realplayer... adding a mod could also cause this.

In what way do characters react as if she is in the group?

I run it as administrator and it is not installed in the program files.

The character remarked about having a weird traveling party, a treehugger, and then something about the dwarf and Neeshka.

I get the encounter with the bladling and Narloch comes down the cliff side but Elanee never appears. She has shown up in earlier scenes watching the group.

Can you reload to before this event and see if it happens correctly if you replay through it?

And yes, backtracking always sucks <_<

I did start completely over after redownloading and installing the software.

Thank you for all the help but I did figure it out, I needed to give it permissions through my firewall.

I'm having the same problem. I've reloaded many times and attempted traveling to Highcliff both from the back of the fort and the other road. Both times I have the encounter but no one shows up except the badger animal companion. Is this not the encounter that introduces Elanee? USSNorway, you say that she doesn't show up until after Highcliff, but I thought she is introduced in the encounter on the way there.

Edit: I have also allowed the game through my firewall, but I did not meet the same success.

I know this is an old post but I just had the same problem playing the game fir the first time. I first transported to Highcliff from the Graveyard and the encounter never triggered. I didn’t realize I was supposed to meet her until I got to Neverwinter hours later and nothing I tried would work.

Luckily I had a save from the Graveyard and when I went back to Fort Locke and then to Highcliff, everything worked fine. This sounds like a bug in the game’s scripting.

So it looks like the bug happens when you try to go to Highcliff from the graveyard. Maybe the quest lines get screwed. Still, good catch. This may come useful in the future for people with the same problem.

Yeah, good catch indeed. The natural progression for most playthroughs is to head back to Fort Locke from the graveyard first (so you can talk to Commander Tann for your reward and wrap up any potential mutinies from his men, depending on your previous actions), so I'm guessing that the transition from the Graveyard back to Fort Locke must update some quest variable that's needed for Elanee to spawn correctly on the trip to Highcliff, and choosing to go to Highcliff first must break something.
