    All the quests in the Prologue i could complete, i think you just missed some things.
    I can't find Landrin to start the Quests about spiders, i've killed the spiders and know there was a quest for it, but where's Landrin? lol i've checked everwhere in the Town.

    I didn't wrote about any problems in the prologue, just a minor request. Landrin is in the FAI, upper level.
    I know that, just helpful advice concerning that part (because no-one else did).
    You wrote OK because you didn't do all solutions, so i was just confirming you missed something and there was no problems.
    And thanks for the advice on Landrin.

    Awesome thread.

    For "Quest" like Winter Wolf pelts that never complete (as they have no end), maybe they should be made a normal journal entry rather than quest entry?

    When I get a chance, later tonight, I will load up my save and see if I have anything to add to this thread.

    His quest doesn't include any journal entries. You're meant to complete it right there, not walk off right after he leads you to Silke. ;)

    Well, it's inconsistency here: The Gibberling Hordes quest is also meant to complete right there but there's a journal entry. Every quest must lead to journal entries!

    I meant that there is no entry which is strange.

    I did tosc, it is on the list. :) About the gibberling horde. What do you mean? Entry in the journal section too? Or done quest section? We have a nice done quest section. I didn't tested what will happen when your reputation is low and Laurel attacks you. Is there a problem with this solution? If it is I will add to the list.

    Maybe I said something using the wrong words. I just answered to @Jalily: if The Gibberling Hordes quest is also meant to complete right there but there's a journal entry, Garrick's quest must be included into the journal.

    Hi @dongsweep,
    For me the game kept being playable, but that is probably thanks to me still remembering most of the original game. Some of the missing sidequest journal things drove me nuts, but at least all the mandatory quests are in the journal as far as i know.

    I noticed that you indeed do not receive all the items it says you receive. "your party has gained an item" will appear 6 times when buying runes in Ulgoths beard, but you only get 2 runes.
    incidently i put them in a chest because my inventory was full. This chest was in the candlekeep crypts and when i needed them for Durlag's Tower i couldn't go back and retrieve them as candlekeep is closed again :(

    This isn't exactly a game-breaking bug, but I noticed that after killing the rats and talking to Reevor, the quest completes successfully, but the journal entry disappears entirely, not even showing up in the 'completed quests' section of the journal.

    Also, I could be wrong, but in the original game, didn't the journal entry update after killing the rats and then a second time after completing the quest? After killing the rats it stays the same as before, not sure if it's supposed to do that. The updates were amusing. :P

    My problem with journal is that some quests after complete didnt move to done quest, or if I tak to someone and he mention it, it apears again in q log and its not in done. Driv me nuts, also finish Durlags tower, save kid at the end and after that I found out it is quest for one mother. So I go there and she still wants me to save her son, but he is already home.

    One i can't see in your list is, i think the name, "Madness Most Foul"?
    If that's not the name, i'll explain anyway.
    If you meet the Talking Chicken and sort him out before talking to the crazy guy who gives you this quest, the quest cannot be finished, or at least i haven't found a way to finish it as the guy who gives it to you disappears from the game and the talking chicken is obviously no more.

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but have you noticed that when talking to random npcs like commoners and nobles or hearing rumors from temples and taverns you sometime get new quest entries for quests you already have completed.

    Yes, you are quite right. Thats what I called "reactivation" in the original post, I guess I will add this to the list to make things clear.

    Ah, guess I'll have to be a bit more thorough when reading through the topic, but thanks

    It's alright, I totally forgot rumours as a possibility.
  • ankhegankheg Member Posts: 546
    As soon as I finished with my exams, I will create a new list for the new patch.

    Actually there is a bug in the journal when it comes to display the Durlag's Tower quest which you get at Ulgoth's Beard. Since I use the german language pack I am not 100 percent sure whether it also appears in the English version of BG:EE. Maybe someone could check?!

    As you can see above, the quest names overlap.

    Possible, I have seen some pretty wild stuff in the journal. I don't have a savegame for this right now, but I will check during the next playthrough.

    Investigating the Nashkel Mines -> Never completes

    [/spoiler]

    I can only agree. Many of those were not cleared in my journal either.

    I think its ok for people who know the game. We are more or less certain that everything has been done for this or that quest.

    But what about the people who dont know the game?
  • ankhegankheg Member Posts: 546
    Thanks, it helps. Maybe I will wait the next patch with it, it is up to my results...

    So when can we expect a next -much needed - patch? Anyone have an ETA?

    Oublek the Bounty Officer is not OK for me (I completed Brage and Prism quest).
    I can't scroll journal even after patch #6
    Sometimes quests and done quests disappear (Taking a new quest make them reappear)

    I see. I will test it again. Did you kill Brage, or let him live? (I know that Prism is problematic.)

    @ankheg I killed Brage and took the bounty from Oublek
