Ok, I am playing originally released version on GOG from day of release.
I did not apply any patches because I learned from many games before that patching often breaks current saves, and I hate to play whole game from the beginng, especially large RPG games that take a lof of time.
I did not notice any major bugs until Arx.
I am currently at first part of the city (where Lord of paladins is located).
Execution.
Yes, I read a lot about this quest and problems.
I am not going to respec for persuade which I am not using for whole game, just because I do not like to solve quests with just choosing dialogue line.
So, it seems that only way is to fight paladins (after teleporting victim).
I used "examine" to check stats of the Lord, and "undead" info took my attention, so I started to suspect that something is not right here with him.
Using force means to slay many innocent paladins that believe they are doing good thing.
I read that later you will find out the true about this Lord.
My question is, if anyone here tried to discover true first?
What if I skip this execution (like I am doing it now by exploring and completing other quests), discover true about Lord, and back to execution location?
I guess it will be too late in this case?
Malady.
Ok, I went to black house to progress in Lohse quest.
I decided to not change state of candles, because like it was said, it would destroy souls totally, and they would not be able to even reach the "Hall".
This is strong enough reason for me that souls must surive, no matter how strong boss will be.
So, finally I finished him.
The problem is that Malady (no matter if near black house or on ship) is still saying that it needs to be done (no matter if I am talking by main character or Lohse as my party member).
Doctor quest is completed, there is also note about it in Lohse quest, but there are no other dialogue options when talking with Malady.
I remember that Malady told me that she will need my help in something later.
So, the question is, will I be able to help with her quest and even finish the game, while she currently did not progress with this one?
I am very interested in making Malady quest and finishing the game without playing the whole thing from the beginning.
