Bugs I Have Known and Loved
(Accidentally posted this in the wrong section before, reposting here)
First off, THANK YOU! Just downloaded and begun playing this today. I LOVE it. Even better than I remember.
That being said, I'm keeping track of the bugs I find to help y'all make the game you made better *even better*. I'm playing as a female elven Shadowdancer named Moll Flanders with the cockney accent.
Stats are:
S-10
D-19
C-6
I-18
W-18
C-18 (20 with this cloak of Algernon I pickpocketed)
This is the first round from my first few hours of playing (other people may have brought these up before, but alas and alack, I do not have time to read the other posts here - only to post):
1) The identify scroll quest in Candlekeep seemed uncompleteable - the guy kept saying "Go talk to Gorion!"
2) The "Thief" script causes characters to stop walking over long distances as they strangely toggle their search for traps on and off. Had to use "Ranged" script instead.
3) A suggestion: in windowed mode, there should be a "locking" function where the cursor is locked into the window unless you press ALT or something. It would make scrolling around in the screen easier. Arcanum did this, I believe. Also, resizing the window is a little difficult (hard to find the "right spot" on the corner) and can get glitchy if it's too wide (but still amazing that I can do that - widescreen cinematic BG? Yes please!)
4) If you pick Unshey's pocket, he has the book that he wanted you to go get already on him (saved me the trouble, I guess).
5) There seems to be no entrance to the Red Sheaf Inn...
6) My awesome girdle of something-or-other (the one that was not the cursed gender-reversing one you get off the ogre) DISAPPEARED...at some point...I don't know when, but it's just...gone. Sigh.
7) The cursor graphic randomly spazzes into gibberish or copies of itself (haven't been able to catch a screen yet). It goes away in a couple seconds of clicking around.

You can move your topics instead of reposting them by editing your post. (Move your cursor to the top right of your post and click the gear, then change category through the dropdown box.) It would also be helpful to mention the version and platform you're playing on (in this case Mac v2014).
#1 was already reported.
Unshey does not want a book, but a belt. That's the girdle you're missing in #6—you turned it in when you spoke.
The Red Sheaf Inn entrance is up the stairs. Move your cursor around the top of the steps, and it should change into a door icon.
For #7, does going to Options -> Graphics and disabling the hardware cursor help?
I'm using an iMac 3.06GHz Intel 10.6.8, 8GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB
As for the Unshey quest - bahahaha that's just my luck - I've played it so many times I'm not reading the dialogue so closely now, but I should.
The hardware cursor thing doesn't do diddly, except if I turn it off, it gets kinda funky and sticky. Not even sure what that's supposed to do. I'm usually playing it in full screen, btw.
A fix is in the works which will prevent the THIEF4 script from overriding player assigned actions such as walking across the map or looting containers.
I've actually talked to @CameronTofer about that. We might be able to arrange something.
The site does have rules against spamming or abusive behavior. I'm afraid you'll just have to accumulate your posts through participating actively in discussions just like @Jalily did. "There are no shortcuts to success", as the saying goes.
I deleted your last extraneous post because it was clearly unnecessary.
