You'll really love this bug

I found a bug about the quest that you rescue nameless prisoners in Ice Temple level 1.
When you enter the temple rush to the prisoners. After clearing the way from entrance to prison, open the locked door with your rogue or bash with fighter (Take your party to entrance before doing so)Then let your fastest moving char open the door. Get the exp (1575 per prisoner)then rush the entrance and get out. Then keep getting in and out and you will receive 1575*prisoner inside level 1 exp per in&out.

I know this sounds like a cheat but we all used improved invisibility before the patch and really unbalanced the game...

 

How does one find a bug like this?

I killed Oria and now she is supposed to come back at me from the twilight zone and I cannot find her anywhere. Is this a legitimate bug?

 

No it is not. You need to go to Game Room. (The room with 3*3 square on center) Then you need to activate İnner Sanctum Mode using three levels down the room. By doing so, you will be transfered to ethereal plane as Oria. Now you are able to kill her so do it.

 

BUGS!
I am in "inner sanctum" (twilight zone) mode and I have been everywhere and I cannot find her. See post "where is Oria."

I saw your post after I replied here... I never had a problem like that so it is beyond my limited knowledge. Sorry...

 

Of course it's cheating (and it's documented already in several walkthroughs), just like fake-talk in BG2 is cheating.
No, not everyone used Improved Invisibility, as a matter of fact I don't use it and have never used it in IWD 2.

 

I don't have a cleric in my party so I started leveling up my sorcerer with cleric 21/5. Sorcerers are pretty good. I have never used any invisibility except with the ring or spell when a guy needs to be protected.
But, where did Oria go? She is not in the basement either in the twilight mode or not. Is it possible to get her back with the cheat console? And if I use the cheat console -- will this affect my game. Some games in the past allowed cheats but the game became tainted. This wouldn't be a cheat but a FIX if she is lost and it is a bug.

İf this is known why didn't BIS released a patch to fix it?

 

There are a lotta bugs they haven't fixed yet.
My thief's HPs fluxuate between 188 and 208. Sometimes, she is at 188 and sometimes at 208 with the same equipment. With no buffs, sometimes I get +3 AC for the ring and sometimes I get +1. For some reason and all of a sudden, my tank will stop hitting his target and just stand there. I use a -4 weapon for healing and I do this a lot: rarely it will start doing 50 points of damage. (I play the game a lot in basically turn-style mode with many of the stops turned on and I read the hit screen a lot). A Remorra did 176 pts. damage to me and the best I have ever done is 61 to anything. Those half goblins do over 100 hps of damage often. What kind of stuff do I need to do similar damage?
Have they fixed the + ?? feat yet? This was not in the last patch and was documented a couple of months ago.
IaaA

 

There are several things that need fixing - the Improved Initiative does nothing for example - and I have no idea why they didn't fix it in the patch.

The big question is: will they even issue a second patch at all?

 

They really should relase one soon. Because we all know that the game is "buggy" but it is also fun to play.

 

It's a lot of fun. And I read that review that said that it only got 76 pts out of 100 because there were no new innovations. However, it is still fun. But, I don't think I would play it without the Weimer addons. It would be nice if they fixed the rules and allowed some more options if they do ever re-release it. Or ... they could do it like MSoft and release the bug fixes with the next generation of the game.
If you use WCIII as an example of new innovations -- a lot of the crappy game play is hidden behind the "new innovations." In IWD2, we know what we have and we can work around it ... but where or where is Oria?

I hope you find her soon...
And I have a feeling that when you find her, you will punish her hard for this disappearance

 

I have posted the Console solution on Oria problem in the original thread. If I see again "escape of the problem" all over the place to threads with completely different topic, all off topic posts will be deleted.

Anakha, thanks for the bug report, I'll do my best to inform BIS on it as I've already did with Oria problem.

 

Thanks Extremist,

I tried to reach them but their forum was closed so I posted it here to see if someone could do something about this bug.

 

BIS forums are no more and now official support is at Interplay forums. But don't worry. As soon as I've posted about it (quoted you ), another poster (Darkness) found out this:

Anyone knows if Dan Simpson is making his IWD2 walkthrough? If he does, please make sure to forward him this exploit, he loves stuff like this... hehe

 

Extremist, can you please write down the name of topic in İnterplay forum. I'm already registered to those forums but I couldn't be able to find the topic.
I mailed Dan Simpson about the bug. Although I don't know if he's working on a WT for the game or not, I simply informed him about this.
Thanks for your interest.

 

Sure, here it is:
