During exploration of Whispering Depths, using turn-based stealth tactics with the whole party, i am trying to sneak past the spoders to get to the 'Dark Amythst' (card says its a story item, keep this in mind). when i have sneaked past the first spoder, and claimed the dark amythst, if i save after picking the item up and then reload to that point the game crashes evertime.

now this is with the spoders still alive and myabe im missing some story plot todo with it and the game doesnt like that skip?

and this is not the first occourance of the bug it also happens in the owl bear cave, same as above for setup jsut 2 owl bears and pick up the egg, then save, then reload and crash mid load.

Note for admin, please let me know if this is in the wrong place or there are other bug report places.

NOTE: latest crash report 'loaded into save after picking up the dark gem in the whispering dark, says story item so could be story items brake saves in caves same thing happened in the owl bear cave snuck up stole egg crash everyime i reload"

Bump

Hmm, this sounds like a more general problem with picking up items that are significant somehow, but it's maybe interesting that I had the same problem with the first item in this quest line. I actually had no issues in the Owlbear cave.

After collecting the 'Necromancy of Thay'/ Powerful Tome book (from the cellar under the Apothecary) and reading, the game can hang on the last line of dialogue and eventually crash to desktop. Saves made immediately before (yes before) or after collecting this book will corrupt in some way and loading will cause a crash to desktop. I could load before the thought-lock/mirror door, but to avoid other bugs with that area I needed to reload all the way back in the apothecary's house.
