HotU: Stuck in Chapter 2

[Guest]

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

I'm playing NWN Platinum patched to 1.65. Have killed off Vix'thra et al,
and gone through return to seer/talk to Valsharess sequence. Am now standing
in the courtyard trying to give instructions for the coming battle, but ---
my character (Paladin lvl 23) is rooted to the spot and will not move
anywhere. Can talk to nearby characters, but not to anyone further away,
such as Battle Herald. Save & reload did not work. Replaying from last save,
killing dragon over again did not work, still wind up immobile.

Is this a known error, or have I walked into something new? Am I missing
something? I know there is a patch for SOU, bbut have heard/seen nothing for
HotU.

Does anyone have any input on this, maybe?

Thanks in Advance,

William of Orange

This is a bug I think - it happened to me several times, the only solution I
found was to start from a save game just before returning to the town.

Thanks for the tip - I tried that but not successful. I'll set up another
save point closer to return to town and try again - will let you know what
happens. W of O

The only way that I've found to get out of this is to turn debug mode 1 and
then teleport using rt. mouse button to the spot next to the herald. That
will unfreeze your dexterity which is stuck at probably 1-3 (meaning a bug
that has you still in dream state). After you speak to the herald, you will
be able to move normally to give orders to your other commanders. Be sure
to turn debug mode 0 or it'll slow you down and give away alot of the
hotspots.

I just tried this again last night - the battle herald moves towards you at
the beginning of the scene and if you pause at the point of closest approach
and click on it, you can get the dialogue. If the herald doesn't latch on
to you, what it can do is sort of bounce backwards again and is then out of
reach. Doing it this way might, in fact, bring up the dialogue and
immediately cancel it but at least you can then move and go and go tell the
troops what to do. It seems to be a very unstable area - I crashed out
twice last night during the battle and had to start again. You need to
click on the Battle Herald at the end of the fight at the gates too in order
to get to the next scene.

Best wishes

I had the same problem. I tried so many things to get past that point,
that when one eventually worked, I can't remember what it was. Sorry
about that.

The problem is that your character has a dex of 3 and can't move.
Something I didn't try is to go in as DM and try to "heal" the
character. I think I eventually was able to talk to the battle herald
and after that conversation, you get movement back. Perhaps I had a
slightly different perspective (camera angle?) which allowed the
computer to think I was "close enough" in initialize conversation.

Last option is that you are right there at the end of the chapter, and
you can export your character and start Chapter 3 with a little blip
(you miss the interesting battle for the seers place, etc) but not
much, and certainly no plot-critical items.
