Too many Terl?

    Okay, I've got a problem... This is my first playthrough of BG2:SoA and ToB. I've only installed one modification, Unfinished Business.

    Anyways, I'm having a problem with too many of a certain NPC named "Terl" being spawned into the game. So many, in fact, that it's hard to move around:

    I have no idea how it happened, nor how to fix it. I haven't even seen it posted about at any forums, so I am unsure if this is a bug specific to me only or not.

    Any advice would be welcome. Heh.

    Wow. Havent seen this one before. The only npc-cloning bugs I've seen are Minister Lloyd (once, for no apparent reason) and Brus. Brus happens every game though, so I dont worry about it.

    Who is Terl anyway?

    Terl is the guy who comes to get you for Anomen's family quest, part of the vanilla game. Why (or even how) UB would do this, I have no idea. You might be better off asking over at the mod's forum.

    I don't think there's any way UB would cause this. It's probably some obscure engine bug or possibly a remnant of a previously installed mod.

    i would just re-install the mod and check to see if it happens again. I had the same problem that Die_Bad_Guys had with the Minister Lloyd cloning. Personally, i would try hard to find a way to move and finish the quest and see if the problem stops (and if you get multi lots of XP and Gold/items. Always good :) )

    hum.. it happened to me with High Watcher Oisig (unseeing eye quest, the helmite) in my last play through

    it would crash my game if i tried to talk to more than one of them, so i just ctrl+y'ed all except one since they were blocking the exit

    The other time I've seen something like this was with BG and one of the guys at the Nashkel carnival. Apparently, the programmers just copy+pasted the NPC several times in the game, so many of him could show up at once.

    Hmm I had a similar problem, that mage who comes to take Drizzt loot (Harpel) spawned hostile and kept spawning even when I killed all of them, they were infinite amount and had nasty mage spells like contingencies with 3 ABDHWs, and Imprisonments etc, I just dropped Drizzt loot and ran as fast as I could from a horde of Harpels!

    But alas, I have so many mods it is possible. I am at a loss how can UB cause your bug- however, best way is dropping Anomen, if there is no cause, no buggy spawnings, right? :shake:

    Actually, Harpel respawning is a common bug, fixed by Baldurdash.

    It's happened to me with Delon, as well, in an unmodded game. I don't think UB is the cause...it's probably just a fluke of the game engine.
