Hi cvmiami,
After I downloaded the patch I opened it with WinZip and then put those files into my current saved game folder.
You didn't really have to unzip the patch. Downloading the patch would have been enough for it to take effect.
I have one golden key in my inventory but it has not worked for opening a golden jug (the only one I have left that says locked) nor to open the house. I have roamed the entire area pressing alt but nothing is highlighted (I thought the key might be on the floor.)
There is one golden jug within the imp world that cannot be opened. Just making sure, when you say you killed all the wasps, did you also kill a friendly one? There is a friendly wasp that needs to be killed if you are to get a key that opens one of the jugs.
Shoud I download anymore patches? Should I just start a new game? Should I buy another version? This was the only one I saw at BestBuy where I bought it. Also, is Divine II out already? Have I played enough of the game that I won't miss that much if I stop playing now and just play Divine II or Riftrunner? I am new to the game so please forgive questions that might seem basic / obvious.
You don't need to download anymore patches. Also, you're pretty far into the game. Hang in there and you'll finish. You may need to download the inventory files for the imp house key if you can't get it through the cut scene. If you don't get the key, you won't be able to finish the game. Also, there aren't any other versions for Divinity. Divinity 2 will be released in a year or two. You won't miss that much. I think those games are self-inclusive. If you haven't played Divinity, it would still be possible for you to play Riftrunner and Divinity 2 skillfully.
Thanks.
