This has got to be the most bugged game I have ever played. Wow! After encountering the game breaking bug of the Merchant and his amulet on Academy Level 3, I thought I would be good to finally complete this game. Unfortunately the bugs aren't done with me yet. *sigh*. I have fought Samuel FOUR times already and he refuses to drop the Rift Wand needed to continue the game. 3 of the 4 times he dropped nothing. Once he dropped a mana potion and a random junk spear. No Rift Wand. I have searched online and unfortunately haven't really found anyone else that has encountered the same bug, except for maybe one post on these forums from 2011 where someone mentioned it and Larian Support's response was that maybe the wand is being hidden behind a wall. It isn't! I have ran around the entire level checking with the ALT key, which should highlight items on the ground, and the only thing that shows up is the Wooden Key in the NW locked room. I have even tried pulling Samuel away from any walls, into the very center of the center room and still nothing.
It sucks to be so close to the end and unable to complete. Is there no Command Console that I can just spawn it in? Or maybe a similar fix to how I got through the Merchant quest (i.e. copying older files from a save game over the corrupted save game). Has anyone else encountered this and was able to fix it?
Thanks for any help that can be provided!
