Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Did I break the storyline?

Greetings,


I just got DD a couple of days ago, and it is really a very well made game.

I have a question however.


I finished the catacombs, and headed out through the army of Orcs to the other town. (got the quest to go get an escort for the healers). I am lvl 10/11 warrior.

While exploring on the way I cam across a bandit camp so I kill the bandit leader and co. I talked to a few people in the farmland area. Then I came to the graveyard and saw Jake kidnap the woman. Went in and started clearing out the area.

I was fighting a very tough "Dark Corpse". If memory serves he is higher than lvl 20 becuase I can not see his level (I have lvl 2 know your enemy).

When I got him to about 20% health a window popped up saying something like

"There may be a problem with the storyline of Divine Divinity".

Or SOMETHING to that effect. I was fighting hard and I pressed the window off in error in the fight.

Killed corpse and then jake no problem. But now... I ask. Has anyone seen this problem? Am I after breaking up the sequence of things? Is Jake needed in something else before I kill him?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

And welcome to the forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
If you killed Jake down in the graves, the girl he kidnapped should then thank you and go back to the house.
Jake is not needed elsewhere than for this kidnapping quest.
Hope this helps.

How long were you in the graveyard? Saving was disabled while underground there due to a problem with those cut scenes; once you kill Jake you can save. If the game detects that a cut scene has not completed after more than 10 minutes, it pops up message saying that there may be a problem. If you have not run into any problems, the message was probably just due to Jake's cut scene.

If you want to see the message, check out Potential Problem Warning for a link to a screen shot.

Wow, thanks for the fast reply!

Yes that is exactly the probel I saw.

I could not save while in the graveyard, and I had to bow kite the Dark Corpse as he was quite a hard mofo.

Thanks again.

I had the same problem myself. When playing DD one night I had got to quite a lengthy cutscene.(cant remember what part now) anyhow I was about halfway through the speech when my darling wife called me for tea. As I had to make a response rather than watch lots of speech i headed to the other room for my chicken salad. When I came back about half hour later I had the same screen come up stating that the storyline may be wrong. I even restarted from my last save just in case but wish I had come to the forum and searched first as it didnt matter. Just on the subject make sure you save often and if you havent got the new patch yet then get it as otherwise you could end up with resistances of minus 1 million as I did.

One question : Have you installed the latest patch?
If not please do so. The game runs without problems after the installation of the patch. It is really necessary <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
