    That's basically correct - at this point, in that save I haven't been back to Umar Hills yet as when I did and spoke to the mayor, he told me how crappy a Ranger I was, etc. :)

    I reloaded and started looking for options, which led me here. It was just that second Ranger quest where Delon gets involved where it all fell apart. Any way out for me?

    Try this @gcharma‌ I have moved the ogronassault timer to about 3 times the previous value.
    Cheers

    That seems to have done it! I went to Umar Hills, talked to the mayor, and he assigned me the quest. Finished it up and everything seems good. As a test, I took the value for OgronAssault from the save you edited (it was set to 9293718), added it to another save I worked on a bit after I sent you the file and it worked a treat.

    Thanks all!

    Good to hear it. Bumping the number up often works with timers!
    (whatever the first digit is I replace it with a 9 so 3293719 becomes 9293719)

    I also have this problem I've tried the script posted but it doesn't work. I've attached my save and if any one could help it would be appreciated.

    I returned to the town in the Umar Hills and everyone now hates me. I looked this up and discovered that apparently Delon was supposed to talk to me but I must have missed him. Is there any way to fix this? I've uploaded my save in case that helps.

    I have the same problem, no Devlon showed up so I missed the quest completely and am now locked out from the cabin and hated in the village.

    I've been trying to modify my save with EE keeper and I can get the ogre attack to start, problem is that Madulf is nowhere to be found. Any ideas?

    **edit: I managed to fix this by modifying an earlier save where I hadn't gone to umar and failed the quest yet.**

    I had this same issue in the original Baldur's Gate 2 and the way I "avoided" it was basically just rest in the cabin a lot and each day I'd step outside to see if Delon was around. It was a rather boring little vacation but as long as I never left Umar Hills the quest always fired off like it was supposed to. :P

    Hey I just ran across this bug myself. I know this thread hasn't been touched in ahwile, but is there anyway I could get the zip file that extends the ogre quest timer? I put the 7cfixer and Delon files in and they work (Delon shows up and finally gives me the quest), but the timer is still set to the normal 4 in-game days or w/e so everybody still hates my guts when I eventually make it to town.

    Any help would be much appreciated. This is the situation that happened to me:
    - You have killed the Shade Lord.
    - Madulf has agreed to protect the village.
    - You stopped Lord Tombelthen one way or another.
    - You missed the call to Umar about ogrons.
    - When you then turned up at Umar Madulf and the ogrons have gone.
    - Quest failed town hates your guts
    I know its just a minor bug, but it really grinds my gears I'm locked out of the stronghold quests because of some stupid game flaw.

    Necroing this thread.

    Had this reported to me in G3's Discord, so I poked around. Basically the quest can fail if you happen to be in Imnesvale when the timer to spawn Delon expires (details here).

    If you're already in Imnesvale, you can work around this at the console with:

    C:Eval('SetGlobalTimer("OgronAssault","GLOBAL",28800)')
    C:SetGlobal("OgronAttack","GLOBAL",0)
    C:SetGlobal("RangerProtector","GLOBAL",1)

    This resets the Delon spawn timer and un-fubars the quest. Once you leave the village, in any outdoor area use

    C:SetGlobal("OgronAssault","GLOBAL",1)

    to force Delon to appear.
