    Feldrin + Alrrem encounters broken

    Just thought I'd mention these, I haven't seen references to them anywhere else:

    1. The Feldrin "Stop this fighting, and I give in" script is broken in that it pauses combat for him but not for other bandits. As a result, the rest of his minions keep attacking, and there is no way to follow the conversation through. Usually my Cleric finishes him off mid spiel as a result of Great Cleave and an AOO as one of his minions runs through my attack space and attacks me.

    2. If you choose to try and kill Alrrem, the minions in his area seem to be bugged, and the battle will enter some sort of endless loop on either one of the bugbears or the Hydra. Maybe they are trying to move and it's getting stuck via a logic hole in movement code? Either way, it's kind of fubarred atm ;)

    Hmm, didn't get the Allrem issue last time I played through that.

    Is the Alrrem issue repeatable?

    Where is your party located when it happens?

    I have encountered this bug with Feldrin before, but I usually just try to wade in and bump him off to save my time and get his little green men to charge and impale themselves glaive and Ranseur wielders. :D

    @ Sitra, I have a couple of savegames right at the point of the bug, and it happens no matter what you do.

    I eventually got around it by engaging everything in a corner, and probably got lucky and bumped off the problem mobs before they could bug.

    P.S. if you want a copy of the savegames, just let me know and I'll send them over.

    Okay, regarding Feldrin, are you saying that when he starts to make his speech, combat does not actually stop at all? Or are you saying that after he yields and leaves via dialog, combat with the rest of his gang resumes?

    The latter is supposed to happen, the former not. Either way, I bulletproofed it so that combat stops for sure when Feldrin starts talking.

    I meant combat continues while the conversation is attempting to play out i.e. the conversation window pops up, he speaks, but combat continues in the background, his minions keep cycling through their combat actions, one inevitably passes through my attack range -> AOO + Great Cleave, and Feldrin lies dead on the ground having barely started his parley ;)

    Having died, his conversation window disappears, so at least it didn't lock up!

    I ran into similar problems with Lareth, and back in the day, with the Traders. Not sure what causes it, but it seems that initiating dialogue via a time event, as well as removing everyone from everyone's shitlist, does the trick.
