Weird Yeslick bug

Remove all ads!

First of all, here's my party:

• Me (half-elven ranger, how imaginative?)
• Minsc
• Kivan
• Dynaheir
• Imoen
• Yeslick

Problem: While working on leveling up so I can clear out the Cloakwood mine, but all of a sudden, where ever I go, Yeslick starts up dialogue with me as if I had kicked him out of the party! And he keeps on doing it, whether I drop him or not, so the only solution is to kill him. If you want, I could send you my save file via E-mail, but if there's no solution, should I go back and pick up Branwen or maybe get Viconia? I'd rather not start all over again, but there aren't many good clerics in this game.

I take it you have tried kicking him out? Or saying nevermind or something simular, try keeping him dead until you have cleard out the mines then raising him. IIRC there is a dialog bug in the Cloakwood mines where some NPCs suddenly start talking and won't shut the hell up until the next chapter - believe me it's annoying and I take it you think it is as well, just hurry up would be my advice

 

Ah, well, I was bored sick of that party anyway... Maybe I'll just export the PC and start all over again... Good items, REALLY cool stats, all with NO cheating!

But then again, I should probably just make a new Cleric, and have Jahiera on the side, even though Khalid sucks... Maybe I should just kill him?

 

If you kill Jaheira then kick Khalid out she stays

 

Ah, I'll do that, thanks.

<-----I got a fire agate! The turquoise was prettier, though...

 

I had the same problem with Yeslick (picked him up quickly and then planned to collect some levels somewhere else before finishing Cloakwood Mines).
I think it is due to a timer, i.e. after you picked him up you have a certain amount of time to finish the Cloakwood Mines. Therefore I took an earlier save and completed all Cloakwood maps thoroughly + the Mine. Don't remember if I went back to the Friendly Arms Inn during that time as well. Anyway, the time was sufficient and after finishing that Chapter I never had that problem with Yeslick again.
BTW, I think you have an excellent party there.

 

Thanks, Sarin! Looking back now, I wonder if the bug is because I went to the lowest level of the mines, saved there, found out Imoen couldn't disable the traps, left, and saved again. I've been using that save, and just leaving that level made the game do some wierd things, since I didn't beat Davaeorn.

I think I'll just start over anyway, either with the same character, or as a cleric with Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Kivan, and Jaheira. (I'll trick Khalid into leaving.)

 

Or, if you want to save yourself the cost of a resurrection, just send Khalin into a building that you will never use again (I used Jora's in FAI) then dismis him. He won't be able to exit the building and give his "Your getting rid of me?" speach, and that's what triggers Jahera leaving.
