This is really disappointing. While none of these bugs are game-breaking, the whole quest has been a total immersion breaker. It feels like it wasn't tested at all.
1) The area you travel to in order to get your names off of the that scroll (Lunia? Lustia?) is really difficult to save in. I get 'you cannot save at this time' messages for no apparent reason so I sit there hitting Q for 20 seconds until it finally works. Two minutes later the exact same thing.
2) After crossing out our names on the scroll it is suggested we get out of there, but I wanna rest first and then beat some people up, y'know, being evil and all...
a) Upon resting, Hexxat's quest intervenes and I am teleported from the heaven place to go and see Larloch. At this point a celestial can also be seen spawning, but Hexxat's dialogue sparks up first. Even if Larloch is powerful enough to summon me, this i) really weird behaviour ii) totally awkward from a gameplay perpective to have one NPC's quest forcibly interrupted by another's.
b) After talking to Larloch (still in the Hexxat quest area) the aforementioned celestial speaks and has the same dialogue as one of the ones I've already slain.
3) When leaving the heaven area, I'm confronted by a guard who tells someone to close the gate (I think he's talking to the dragons). This guy goes hostile and I kill him.
I dunno what's supposed to happen here, but the dragons don't go hostile. If I attack one then it takes ages for it to go hostile and even when it does, the other one doesn't and just stands there.
4) Similar thing just before leaving. I kill a few more knights and there's three mages there who just don't wanna go hostile, even after hitting them repeatedly.
5) Upon returning to the area I was originally waylaid in I go to the edge to leave. After a brief (3-4 second) period of the game stopping to load, I find myself back in the waylaid area. I try to leave again and it finally succeeds. I.e you have to leave the area twice to actually leave it.
What a mess, thank fuck it's over.

Re no. 2 luckily I do have a save just before dealing with the scroll since I was interested to see what effects your choices could have further down the line.
Re no. 5 I was trying to move to Abazigal's lair.
Many thanks.
