I spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to get the Elminster conversations to trigger too, with all possible combinations of telling the other tadfools, not telling them, only talking about the orb during bite-night &c. in the end I gave up and asked a friend, who likes to play with script extender, to set the flags for me. She said, that it's not a simple known/unknown situation and it confused her a little. I hope it gets sorted out eventually.
The video is great. I do appreciate the system they used to determine Gale's behaviour because it makes his reactions feel more organic and hides the cause-and-effect-videogameiness pretty efficiently but it makes him more prone to bugs as well - I mean there used to be more than the ones shown in the video, so hopefully the ones remaining get sorted out as well. SlimX released a new video about impossible dialogue last week, which makes me hope that Gale might actually get his complete dock scene at least. Keeping my fingers crossed.
In my Gale origin run, Tara keeps asking me how the meeting with Mystra went, then flying away once I tell her. I can't pet her anymore
How did you manage to get Tara to comment on it at all? For me she left camp after we met her at the Open-Hand Temple and seemed to not recognise Gale any longer when we met her again on top of the Devil's Fee. Not being able to pet Tara is horrible though.
