Phaere broken dialogue

Remove all ads!

I've come back to playing BG2 after a few years of letting it collect dust, as i recently got hold of ToB off a friend, and i never played through the expansion before. I downloaded the patches, and alot of mods, such as Solaufein and Kelsey, enhanced thief stronghold, banter packs, kits and ascension, as well as a few others, and started a new game as a Wild mage.
Now i've played through the game up to chapter 5, done nearly all of the quests available in chapter 2/3 without any problems/bugs at all, but now i've run into a bug which is stopping me from advancing through the story how i want to. Its after I've saved Phaere from the Illithid that kidnapped her, and returned to the city where she told me to meet her in the tavern. When i go near her in the tavern, she initiates the conversation, but then when i press continue the convo ends, and then she initiates it again repeating the same line. I searched around to see if anyone else has had this problem, but had no luck.

So can anyone help me out? are there some variables i can change to skip this convo, or some other solution? will i have to start a fresh game, or a fresh installation without mods altogether? screeny of the dialogue

 

*sigh* Another Sola-Kelsey problem. Up until this point I'd only heard of them infecting the ToB portion of the game. Re-installing the mods might help, or a string fixer if they've got them. Getting around this particular problem won't be enough because it will reoccur. Personally, I'd recommend just uninstalling them both and be done with it, but I don't really care for either Sola or Kelsey, so take that for what it's worth. I'm still not 100% sure which one the culprit is, but my money would be on Sola for the timeframe of when people have problems. Or it could be a conflict.

For the moment, here are some quick fix codes to bypass the current conversation:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("PhaereJob",1)
CLUAConsole:SetGlobalTimer("udMovePha",1)

Note that with these codes, you will only have to wait a single second before heading out of the tavern and meeting Phaere on the platform by the city entrance, instead of the normal 25 minutes she waits to move. I also left out the three day timer that gets you in trouble if you take too long, so feel free to do as much as you want before going to meet her. Again, this is a temporary solution, and you will likely need to find the underlying cause before this pops up again (possibly even in the conversation at the platform).

 

Wow, that was a fast reply. I didnt expect one for like a week and expected it to be less helpful too :]
i tried the CLUAConsole codes you gave me, but they just responded with errors, and the bug continued
i uninstalled Kelsey and tried again, and still the dialogue was broken
I read DSimpsons BG2 walkthrough to see what Phaere actually says in that convo (been too long for me to remember), and see if it changed any variables. I found that Sola is supposed to be in the tavern with Phaere, and since he isnt i guessed thats why the convo wouldnt continue. So i used CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("udsola01") and talked to her again, and it works now :]

Thanks alot for the help though, i was going to give up if noone replied. And i know now what the problem is if i run into another bug with Solaufein

 

Sorry, I forgot an important part ("GLOBAL") on both of them. For future reference for anyone who has the same problem, the proper codes are:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("PhaereJob","GLOBAL",1)
CLUAConsole:SetGlobalTimer("udMovePha","GLOBAL",1)

And again that I missed that Sola wasn't there in the screenshot. Congratulations on figuring it out yourself, Renma!
