Hell trial weirdness

    So I'm on the Hell trials, and I'm going through each choice for each trial since I'm trying to document the rewards given for each path.
    I'm up to the Selfishness Trial, now, and I'm going through the "evil" path. I go through the first two doors, and everything's fine...then, I go through the last door, and instead of Minsc copping it, I get the message "lost experience points". Twice. I go over to the demon, but he has nothing to say to me, and Minsc is still alive, albeit blue-circled.So, I try going through the "good" path and that all works fine, except for the fact that I lose experience points twice, once spontaneously, as with the evil path, and once due to the path itself.

    I'm wondering what's triggering the extra loss of XP, so I just wait after the trial starts. I lose the XP after about 30 seconds or so, without any visible triggers.

    To conclude: I can't do the evil path for the Trial of Selfishness, and I keep losing XP for no apparent reason. Halp.
    On a side note, I have Quest Pack's Improved Hell Trials installed, in case that has any relevance.

    The standard rewards are documented in Dan Simpson's walkthrough and the neutral rewards are detailed in the RHT/QP readme. The only one there's any debate about is the evil reward for the Wrath Trial.

    As for your problem, it might be a mod conflict, or a problem with un-install/re-install of mods. Can you give us a list of what you have, along with any recent changes (especially those that you did between the last flawless game and this one)?

    Oookay...
    I have, in this order:

    -the official patch (obviously)

    -Baldurdash's ToB fixpack

    -" "s ToB text update

    -Quest Pack

    -Ashes of Embers

    -Divine Remix

    -Underrepresented Items

    -Item Upgrade

    -Song and Silence

    -Rogue Rebalancing

    -Unfinished Business

    -Ascension

    -Turnabout

    -Oversight

    -Refinements

    -G3 Tweaks

    -Virtue

    -Dungeon-be-Gone

    I've learnt through experience NOT to re-or uninstall components of a mod when I have several others, so I haven't done that.
