Durlyle runs off on me and never comes back

After returning the cloak to Durlyle, he asks me to get him some belladonna flowers. I agree. He says, "Please hurry, I will be right here." Problem is, he immediately walks off after this dialogue ends and disappears completely. Attempting to talk to him as he's moving gives me the "Cannot initiate dialogue. NPC appears busy" notification, and leaving the area and coming back doesn't make him show up again (I can't find him anywhere).

Expected behavior: this guy stays put like he said he would, and you can talk to him again.

    Got the same bug, kind of annoying. Oh well. :(

    For some reason an EscapeArea() has been added to his dialog in DURLYLE1.DLG. Not present in the vanilla BG1 game.

    ...welp. Hope this gets fixed before my next playthrough, then.

    I've not had this problem.
    The girl left the area just after I take the belladonna...not before.

    Maybe it's different between the male and female versions of this NPC? I am not sure how to check.

    Yeah, the female version Delainy's dialogue is fine. No EscapeArea(). Easy to check in Near Infinity.

    This just happened to me. Hopefully it is fixed in the next patch.

    Ok, i thought only the girl version is so elaborate. Gotta see why it was changed like this.
