Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Is my game buggered or is this fixable?

Two things I'm having the darnedest time with and they both involve the same quest. First, I need to get the bottle of wine from Anthrabert, but I've already narc'd him out about what he did to Mpezneck's (sp) cart. He isn't in his room and although he had some uninteresting items in there, nothing usefully winelike. Even though he's been reported and has disappeared, I still have the dialogue option when talking to M. that I will go talk to a guard because I have an idea.

The second is in looking for Penumbra. I did Rob's tasks and I brought him the ale, he goes through his dialogue options and I leave. The doors downstairs are all still locked and when I talk to Rob again it loops the dialogue and he asks if I've done his task yet.

Can anyone help? Sometimes I've seen looped dialogue when there is someone else, or something else that isn't done but the questlog doesn't show. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Anthrabert: There should've been a bottle of wine on the floor...
Dialoge option remains, just a minor flaw. AFAIK, Corinna accepts other wine, too.

Rob: Did you get XP for the ale and could you choose one out of 3 skills he offered? Pickpocket, evade trap or lockpick?
Dialogue loop "I need more time" remains normally.

Which version are you playing and if with 1.33, when did you update? At what questpart of the game?

There is a fix for ale: Thieves quild quest items

I'm playing with the patch -- I just installed it not too long ago, mostly through all the quests. I only have two council members to go. I got the ale, it went through all the dialogue options but I didn't get the point in the skill (although I got to choose which one,etc)

This game is really beginning to frustrate me. I tried the fix where you load one data file then the other to get into the thieves guild and past that dang door that wouldn't open... but now it has buggered other things. I restored my original data file just fine, all is good, EXCEPT 1) doors are locked that weren't before and I can't open them... like the graveyard where Iona's Dungeon is and more importantly, in the council of seven, the door to get to the scrying room is closed tight! I can't get back in there to talk to the wizard or to check on the other two members I am missing again.

This game is wonderful in terms of story and even game play, but the bugs are really killing the enjoyment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> I really hate having to use cheats in games at all, and I've felt forced to to be able to play the game.

Edited:

Okay, now I'm REALLY confused. I reloaded a game before I did the fix for the thieves guild... and the door in the council of 7 is STILL LOCKED!! I can't get back into the scrying room. The only members I have left are the lizard and the dwarf. Does anyone know what is wrong here???
