Scar's Ogre Mage quest

Okay, so I screwed up. I forgot all about Scar's Ogre Mage quest as I got side tracked with the Isle of Balduran quest line. That means I timed out with Scar. Hopefully someone else use that one and the Isle of Balduran quest line fix below.

I reset the SCARMISSION variable to 3, it was sitting at 5. I was inside the headquarters at the time. The guard Dilos said Scar wanted to see me and that he was either down the hall or outside. I could not find Scar.

So... I reloaded an unaltered save and proceeded to experiment. I keyed in CluaConsole:SetGlobal("ScarMission","Global",3) which appeared to have no affect though I at least did not get any errors. Same thing from the guard, "You're on your own lunkhead!"

So... I keyed in Scar himself from within the Flaming Fist Headquarters and went over and talked with him. I started out with the Seven Suns quest needing to be done. To complete it I accepted the mission, twiddled my thumbs for a second or two and then talked to him again. He gave me a well done and offered me the Ogre Mage quest.

Again, I twiddled my thumbs, and Khalid twiddled Jaheira and Imoen, and I talked to Scar once again. He said, "Well done Major Lunkhead," and offered me the Iron Throne quest line.

So, major screw-ups can be recovered from. Interestingly I could not accomplish it using Shadowkeeper, but could console it in.

And, a word to the wise if you run out of time on the Isle of Balduran quest line. I got to the point where I kept turning into werewolves, or wolfweres, every time I tried to rest. Cursed yet once again! To give myself more time I used Shadowkeeper and raised the PlayerInfected variable by a sizable amount. Be careful though as adding too much additional time may have adverse effects. I bumped my number up by something like 100000, no commas.

But, both of these tricks worked even for a lunkhead. I just might give myself a rank increase. What comes after Major Lunkhead?

Cordially,
'Ol Bearded Menace
