This is the 4th or 5th time I've played DivDiv through -- on the same PC, same installation, same discs -- and I've never had this problem before.
My character is inside Stormfist Castle right now, doing the whole "Lord Protector" stint. She gets as far as being given the quest for the teddy bear, and then Bronthion comes into the throne room.
Then the game... wigs out. I can't think of a better term for it, heh. There should be a cut scene with Bronthion and Janus but it never happens, they just stare at each other. It's like I'm stuck in a cut scene that never ends. I can move around and interact with objects and people but I can't advance anything (because, of course, getting thrown out of the castle into Iona's dungeon is one of the few 100% necessary processes to advance the story). I can stroll right out of the castle and all around Rivellon but without advancing the story (and these days I tend to do pretty much 100% of available quest material before going into the castle, the character in question is level 35) it does me no good whatsoever.
I looked over a bunch of the technical posts but I didn't see one that addressed this. I had a saved game from inside the castle but before I started the Janus's Gopher series of quests, but when I loaded that up the same bug happened again -- it's now happened 3x. I do have a save file from right before I went into the castle but I don't know that loading that one will be any better.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
