The question is - who should i contact. Obsidian?

I installed the game and the expansion (both parts) today, plus the newest patch.

I'm at Raedric's keep. And i cannot talk to the guy. Him and his bodyguards are neutral, the bodyguards yell 'intruder! he's here!' and all that, but nobody attacks. If i provoke an attack (stealing, forced attack), the quest doesn't get marked complete.

I've seen articles on numerous forums with similar bugs, although none with complaints where you couldnt even talk to the NPC, more around the quest not getting marked complete or the game crashes. All those posts are nearly a year old....

Suggestions?

Step 1: Remove *all* mods -- no exceptions -- while troubleshooting.
Step 2: If the same happens in a new game (to rule out corrupt save), submit a bug report on the Obsidian forums.

I'm guessing the newest patch introduced a few weird scripting errors. I've seen quite a few issues crop up over the last few days, since 3.0 went live ...

... including one of my own LOL! I guess it could just be coincidence but I'm thinking there might be *something* there that caused NPC quest scripting and "aggression" states to go a bit wonky at times.

I played through it on the latest patch and didn't have any problems.

That said, maybe try the trick where you edit your savegame and reset the area. I forget what it's called, but on the Obsidian forums they talk about how to reset an area by modifying your save game. In particular, try looking up "Icantha prisoners".

Hope it helps.

yep, tried that and didn't help... (the area was pretty broke, even manual saves didnt work before a game restart)

anyway, posted on the Obsidian bug report forum. here goes hoping.

Damn, good luck. I wonder what happened.

I butchered everything in the castle except for one of the NPCs, dunno if you went the sneaky route or not.

for the record... if you have IE running when you enter the zone (i had it on for the different NPC circlets), the whole zone (all areas) break as soon as you see something interactable (the guards at the gate, the vines on the left, or the sewers on the right), and the whole area is cracked from that point.

i restarted the game and it worked fine without IE.

Damn, sounds like IE doesn't work with the latest version. I'm just starting White March Part 2. But I would really love IE to be able to farm my soulbound weapons on characters I don't want to use all the time.
