I am done with the Fjords, Kali, Keara and Stone's Fortresses (I updated to patch 2 after I encountered invisible and unresponsive enemies in Stone's Fortress). Just the second quest for Allen remains and the Hall of Echoes. I guess I could explore Broken Valley in its charming new look a bit more - but I am quite frustrated now and will probably wait for a fixed save-game from support.

Anyway, I just got Divine Divinity from an outlet in the UK ($6.99 through amazon.ca) and I will give the older game a try!
