I believe I may have stumbled upon a rare glitch since I found no instances of this occurring with anyone else.
Basically, one of my characters vanished from existence in the game.
It happened in the town of Hart at the Inn. I removed my sorcerer to add another character who acts as a pack mule to store equipment.
At the Inn I:
1. Went to "sign in"
2. Clicked "remove" on my sorcerer
3. Added the other character to my party
4. Exited from the inn
5. Did my trading with pack mule
6. Went back to the inn and "signed in"
7. No characters available at the inn
My sorcerer simply vanished and I don't know how that happened. And no I didn't accidentally click "Delete". I checked the inns of Grayhaven and Impery and he was not there either. And what's worse, is that when you exit an inn, it autosaves your game. So now he's missing and I can't find him.
What's funny though is that his portrait is not available in the character creation screen, so I know he's still out there somewhere as a set of character data lost in the game code, but through a glitch made him not be available at the inns.
I also noticed that when you first sign in to the inn, the character roster at the inn is empty, but when i leave and sign in again, the character rosters shows up and all my characters are in there too (which says "in party", etc..), but no sorcerer.
I'm wondering where the heck he could have gone and if there is any way to retrieve him? Maybe through spells or if there is a place in the game where "stuck" characters go as a fail-safe.
Has anyone heard of this or have any information on this type of bug?
Please help, this is my first run through Swords of Xeen (Which I'm rather enjoying up to this point barring the bug) and I'm a big fan of the series.
