I noticed it's the guards, town-people, and town-animals, but *not* merchants if that's a clue. I even considered your idea about getting killed on purpose, but in all modesty they can't! Looks like I'm just going to have to keep this one on the back burner for a while in hopes that you can come up with a fix. I was hoping to give you the whole $10.00 vote but I have to take a quarter off for not being able to finish the game, and another quarter off for the general state of confusion I found myself in due to lack of direction. :) So please accept my $9.50 knowing that I had a great time in general playing your mod. I especially enjoyed the unique item drops, and amassing over 80,000,000 GP which is something I've never done before in any other NWN mod! Thanks again Hardblade, and I'm looking forward to playing again someday!

Usually if the gaurds, merchants or whatever kill you it might reset the faction, if not then you might need to try an earlier build of your charc.

I was thrilled to see that you found and corrected the faction problem so quickly, unfortunately it didn't work for my situation with latest saved game! :( Is there *any* chance that I'll be able to continue playing with my current character? I can't fathom the thought of starting all over again...

I have found and repaired the faction issue. I have submitted the updated mod and also added a chest to the beginning where you may get a book that informs you of the playable subraces, and a free gatewaystone.

Ahhh, ok. Thanks for the mini-hint! I haven't forgotten to vote, I just wanted to finish the Druid Quest as well as finding the King's Dad first. Maybe I'll continue my search while you try to fix the hostile faction issue. (It wasn't just the druids, it was *everyone* throughout the countryside as well as in town.) [afterthought] I never checked any of the vendors though if that might be a clue.

There are no clues to as the whereabouts of the king's father. I can tell you that you can find him within 1 of the last 3 levels where you meet Orcus but I won't give away the exact location. The Druids do not have any information on the king and are focused on their own issues. The game was always intended to be an open ended adventure, the quests are to provide you with some general direction and background, as you find more journals and talk to people around they may drop subtle hints of other areas to go check out. I check back often so any other questions or concerns feel free to ask. Don't forget to vote.

Hi Hardblade, thanks for the quick reply. Thanks also for the explanation about the Dungeon of Graves, it's the whole adventure itself kinda sorta. [g] I've been everywhere you mentioned and it was cool to see all those screenshots and know I was there. I guess when/if you can figure out the faction issue, I can resume playing and see what the druids have to say. Will I then get any clues from them where to continue my search for the King's father?

Hi Neilium, no you aren't missing any quests there are only the 2 main quests, the rest is pretty open ended with subtle hints being offered for some rare items/places in the odd adventurer journals you might find scattered in the dungeon. Your question about the dungeon of graves, In Thuul they refer to the entire dungeon as that due to the fact no one has returned from it. I am a little perplexed as to the faction issue with the druid, I will look into it and if this is bugged I will update the mod and resubmit it and post here that I have done so and what I found. Thnaks for the heads up. As for basic direction, some of the key areas you will want to go looking for are off the beaten path, many dragon dens loaded with loot, the vault of the drow, valenzoft, the gates of hell level splits off a few different ways...you will find it will require replay a few times to likely find most of the key areas...but they are to be stumbled upon as information in this dungeon is scarce. Most importantly just have fun and adventure, thats what DD is all about.

Hi Hardblade, I'm playing your mod for a few weeks now and I have some questions. ***Spoilerific Questions Follow*** . . . . . . . . . . . I'm a little short on gold, can you advise me? (LOL! just kidding, I can't believe I've got over 80 Mil and still counting.) All seriousness aside, I've never played a mod quite like yours. I'm used to many Journal Entries along the way, pointing me towards my next immediate goal. In LoTv2, I only have 2 - find the King's Father and find the Druid. Am I missing something/did I do something wrong? Speaking of finding things, my Paladin is at level 25 by this point and I *still* haven't found the Dungeon of Graves! Can you give me a clue where I went astray? I *have* found and slain Orcus, but I'm not sure what to do next. I also found the Druid's ring, but when I go back to the Town and/or Countryside, *everyone* is hostile, even the chickens and oxen! What did I say? [g] Please give me a push in the right direction? Thanks in advance, having a blast!

Hi everyone, the swamplands had been cut from this edition due to time constraints and the decision NOT to proceed making this into a persistant world. I wanted soley to focus on the dungeon. But in a future mod anything is possible right?
