    How can I bump Edwin's study of his Nether Scroll along? I don't have any interest in this quest per se, but I'd like to see my new party members interacting with Edwina before we run out of things to do and have to go to Suldanessalar.

    I tried expiring the "EdwinScroll" timer with the console, the same way one can expire the romance timers, but it didn't seem to do anything...

    try pausing the game and leave your computer for a couple of hours, then return and unpause. It just might work, because it works on romance dialogues

    Like the romances, is not Edwin's, uhm, transssssition work on both real-life timer and in-game time? Might you have to advance both timers artificially (I write, not knowing if it's possible to advance the real-life timer)?

    I imagine the 'disguised one' would know . . . . ;)

    [​IMG] DON'T TOUCH THE CONSOLE!
    Ok, here's the catch.


    1. You killed lich and found the scroll. In fact you activated a timer that expires:

    - 4 days if you said: "Will you be using that scroll to help us?"
    - 2 days if you said: "We all found it, we all own it. It's party treasure, Edwin."

    To advance time, press CTRL+T as long as it takes so that timer expires, or just sleep on it. All timers are INGAME TIME timers. OK?


    2. Timer elapsed and Edwin says: "Ahh HA! I understand it! Sorry to bother your petty concerns, but I have translated some of the Nether Scroll!".

    - This won't happen if you're in dungeon type area.
    - New timer is set: one day


    3. Timer passed, Edwin speaks: "Hmmm... Another relevation in my... er... our Nether Scroll..."

    - Whatever you say to him, he uses the scroll...LOL


    Link and last note
    The list of areas that are dungeon type you can find here: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/003578.html

    To scroll through ALL talks (interacting with Edwina) BEFORE Degardan spawns - I suggest you use CTRL+I on the keyboard. Press it more than once - it just chooses random dialogue and displays it if it wasn't occured.

    [​IMG] Ok, I was an idiot...thank you.

    The bumping of this is because I discovered that there really IS a bug in Nether scroll quest and it is within Edwin's dialog.

    The SP boards were down, I looked over to official BIS boards, saw a post that it doesn't work to someone and... solved the bug!

    Ok, I guess it is good to know it, so I quote my whole answer about the bug from there:
