Weird bug so a good story with party in Helm and Cloak Inn

Remove all ads!

I was playing a bit today with my thief-only-party and discovered a weird bug in Helm and Cloak Inn. There are some guys at the bar that ask you for a story. I clicked by accident with two characters on the guy. So the first one talked to him (Nelik) and told him a story. After that the other character also talked to him (what shouldn't be possible) and he didn't tell a story. What happened? The party that you then have to fight was respawned two times. And there, also the the four adventurers where and they wanted two help me. I didn't suspect two parties so they killed me kinda easily. I did made screnshots before I died.

I reloaded and tried to "create" the same bug again and it indeed, it all happened again, but now I told the adventurers no story so they didn't help me. With fireballs I killed a lot of them and the rest was also killed, however with some problems for I thought to easy about the two mages, so 2 people died, I raised them at a temple. Also I have some cool screenshots of fighting a 10 couples at the same time:

Hehe, wierd. I bet that was a pretty rough fight.

 

Not too much, as you can see on one of the screenshots, I fired 4 fireballs at the same time (with potions of fireball ) The rest could be backstabbed....

 

Wierd indeed. I've had a variation of that bug happen before, if you do the fight normally with the adventurers at the bar helping you, and you win the fight, usually there's a slight dialog option when they're through and leaving.

A couple of times when I talked to their lead guy (if he survived) instead of him giving his parting words, he reinitiates the original conversation, and the gang of thugs comes into the bar again. Very very strange.

Incidently when the fight starts, one of the friendly adventurers stabs the bartender with a spear, making the Helm and Cloak unusable from then on.

 

In the second trial, I told no story to the adventurers so I could cast fireballs and not kill the helpers BUt nevertheless, after I returned to the bar, I found the bartender turned to hostile, and I'm sure the fireballs can't have hit them. The clue is that after talking to the guys at the bar, the party you have to fight enters, and when yuo have the chance to talk twice to the leader of the guys at the bar, the party is respawned twice also

 

thats some wicked exploding. think of it like this if some one blew up your inn wouldnt you be a bit pissed off

 

It's easy to explain: The party is enters when you talked to the adventurers at the bar. By accident it is possible to talk to them twice, normally, after one time you should get the message that the party is busy wich doesn't happen, so you can talk twice to the adventurers and the other party will be spawned also twice then.

Ah check Screenshot 3 and 4.. they are superb

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Just what bugs would you find had you the efforts... To stray off the topic, in another game, Quake 3, which is not an RPG at all, there was the skin of a woman...rather, a creature created to voluptuously describe a woman's features. Unfortunately, seems how the connection between computers is sometimes...uh, retarded?...a newcomer came in with a slightly desecrated womanly body. It was fragmented by the head of a graying man with a cigarette in his mouth. With that thing standing before me with a rocket launcher aimed at my chestI thought I would die with laughter...
