I am having the same problem at the same area, as soon as I enter the area she begins talking and as soon as she is finished it crashes. I also have problems when I enter the big church up north, it goes to a cut scene where 2 monks or whatever get attacked by a ghost, the 2 are spinning relentlessly and the scene never ends. And other than the random crashes to the desktop, I have to say this is one of the best RPG's I have ever played.....the bugs suck, tho....GOG version BTW, thanks.
I have the exact same problem in that church aswell, i didnt pay much attention to it since it wasnt really involved in the main campaign.
I never had these problems in the 3cd version and it is as someone mentioned supposed to be the "fixed" version hehehe. Well im playing the 3cd version flawless atm and i dont regret supporting larian with buying the gog version as they do an awesome job nevertheless:D
