Quests not finishing in Luskan, inc Tower

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

Playing the original campaign solo. When I got into Luskan, I wasn't able
to finish the gnome ring and whore's baby quests... the people on the
other end didn't have any conversational options about it. I didn't give
it much thought and went on.

But when I fought my way up to the top of the Hosttower, nothing happens.
The gate's locked but there's no talking and no one's doing anything.
Aribeth and the other NPCs just stand and stretch. I can attack the
lizardmen with ranged weapons and kill them, but that doesn't do anything
to advance things. I tried playing forward from several earlier saves,
always with the same results. I didn't have any problems hosting a
multiplayer game in that point. Any suggestions?

Coincidentally, I just finished that part of the OC in the last couple
of days (though it did advance properly to Ch.3)

Just thinking out loud, but perhaps try talking to Aarin Gend the
spymaster....maybe you need to talk to him about Aribeth's situation to
advance the plot. That's all I can think of.

CS.

That's a well-known bug.

- Have you updated NWN? If not, do so. Then clear the temp/cache directories
and try again.
- Already updated? Clear the temp/cache directories and try again.

Otherwise, you'll have to use console commands to advance the plot... I
don't have the comands required, but you can search with Google Groups or
Google... it has been discussed before.

Don't know about baby or the gnome ring, but I once experienced similar at
the tower pinnacle.

I was messing with my character (buffing up, preparing for battle) while
maugrim and aribeth were talking behind the locked gate. After the
conversation finished with them noticing me, nothing happened.

Luckily I had saved just before entering the pinnacle, so I just reloaded
that. But this I didn't do anything while the conversation was going on
(just stood near the gate) and the script executed as it should: the gate
opened and the fight started. Must be some loop holes in the script that
easily shoot it of course.

You could try, as already suggested, using the debugmode to launch the
approriate scripts. Don't know what they are though, sorry.

My problem with this scene went as such: Before confronting Maugrim et.
al. I wanted to sneak down into his lab, so as I was walking down the
stairs I guess the script began to run and he and Aribeth started
talking. I entered the lab, and at some point in the lab they 'noticed'
me and when I went back up to the top, Maugrim, Aribeth, and the other
thing (Morag?) were gone, and the lizards were already hostile. So I had
to reload and go back up there so I didn't miss hearing the scene.

I've never had the battle start properly according to this.
I've always done it by lobbing fireballs.
