Stuff: Divinity II is the next release since Beyond Divinity was not considered to be 2 . . .=)

Stuff: Should be located at C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Divine Divinity\savegames\ <save name>

If not I will have to find the thread that lists the path some systems move them to when you activate the "Run this program as an administrator" option in the game shortcut. Most of the time they are on the path above. . . =)

PitBrat: Okay, here is more info on how to fix the Evil Imps Bug in Divine Divinity.
This fix will prevent Zaknadrix and Antx from becoming hostile and attacking instead of speaking with the hero.

This time I'll attach pictures as requested.

A simple hex editor is required. I use the free version of Hex Edit found here:
http://www.hexedit.com/

For this explanation, I'm using the '.' to represent an hex value of '00'

In the Divine Divinity 'savegames' folder, locate a save just before confronting Zaknadrix.
Use Hex Edit to open the data.000 file
Search for the text 'Zanadrix' (notice there is no 'k' in the name)
Ignore the first match and look for the second and third matches which look like this:
ASCII = "Zanadrix59.....Zanadrix.K"
HEX = "5A 61 6E 61 64 72 69 78 35 39 00 09 00 00 00 5A 61 6E 61 64 72 69 78 00 4B"
Overwrite the hex value for both Z's with 00 so the string now looks like:
ASCII = ".anadrix59......anadrix.K"
HEX = "00 61 6E 61 64 72 69 78 35 39 00 09 00 00 00 00 61 6E 61 64 72 69 78 00 4B" Now go back to the top of the document and start another search for "Antx47"
Ignore the first match and look for the second and third matches which look like this:
ASCII = "Antx47.....Antx.K"
HEX = "41 6E 74 78 34 37 00 05 00 00 00 41 6E 74 78 00 4B"
Overwrite the hex value for both A's with 00 so the string now looks like:
ASCII = ".ntx47......ntx.K"
HEX = "00 6E 74 78 34 37 00 05 00 00 00 00 6E 74 78 00 4B"
Save the data.000 file
Run Divine Divinity, load the modified save and play!

Now both Zaknadrix and Antx are friendly and will speak to the hero allowing for the completion of the Council of 7 quest for the Imp.

Enjoy!

PitBrat: WOW!!!!
I fixed the evil imp bug!

Is this an error in the GOG version of the game? Has anyone actually finished the GOG version???

PitBrat: I discovered another related bug.

The Dragon Patriarch becomes hostile after exiting the conversation and won't teach you the ghost spell.
Here is the fix to prevent the Dragon Patriarch from becoming hostile after exiting the conversation.

Open the data.000 file from the savegame folder in an hex editor.

Search for the text 'patriarch153"
Ignore the first match and look for the second one which looks like this:
ASCII = "Patriarch153.....Patriarch"
HEX = "50 61 74 72 69 61 72 63 68 31 35 33 00 0A 00 00 00 50 61 74 72 69 61 72 63 68"
Overwrite the hex value for the P's with 00 so the string now looks like:
ASCII = ".atriarch153......atriarch"
HEX = "00 61 74 72 69 61 72 63 68 31 35 33 00 0A 00 00 00 00 61 74 72 69 61 72 63 68"

Save the data.000 file

Now the Dragon Patriarch no longer becomes hostile upon exiting the conversation.
