Atreiden

The NPC questlines, especially Edér, Durance and Grieving mother. The scene with the trea full of hanged corpses when you first enters Gilded Vale. The final act questline, starting as a missing persons case, ending with a snuff theater.

Damn had hoped to find a solution for this in the thread. Has Obsidian acknowledge it yet?

I saved both on my paladin with the Scâth Gwannek shield and retried it with a scroll of winter wind, both methods worked.

I was 14 when BG1 was released, so both BG games are very nostalgic to me. That said, even back then, I thought BG1 villain Sarevok was fairly boring, a big dude in a cheesy armor with a "scary" voice while BG 2's Irenicus seemed far more interesting. Sarevok didn't really become interesting until ToB. And while both games have some memorable scenes, for me mainly BG2, I think PoE does a fine job at that too. Personally I enjoy every scene with Thaos, the first time seeing him activating an ancient machine, with no idea of what was actually going on other than some form of human sacrifice and then stumbling into a town where you are greeted by a tree full of hanged people. That really set a grim tone for the game, which I really enjoy. The slow unwrapping of Thaos plot is also handled well, rather than holding grand speeches to you, Thaos barely register your existence and you are somewhat left to piece the story together yourself in the first two acts. While it's hard to say how much will hold out as memorable moments down the years, I have at least been impressed with the consistent good writing of both main and side-quests which I think is this game's true strength.

So for the second time in a couple of days, I have run into a bug with Caed Nua, where a visitor is supposed to be at the castle, but doesn't show up. The first time it was Azzuro, but that seemed like a bug specificly with him. But now I'm supposed to be visited by Berolt, only just like Azzuro, he doesn't show up. Is Caed Nua extremely bugged or am I just extremely unlucky?

So Azzuro is supposed to be visiting my keep as a prestigious visitor, but is not present in the main keep. I did a bit of googling and saw that others have had this bug before. I have done his initial stronghold keep and had him show up to sell items twice, but now he is supposed to be visiting, but is not there. I tried saving and reloading, leaving the keep area and returning but nothing seems to make him show up.
