[Dupe] Melicamp Quest Bug (multiplayer)

edited September 2014 in BG:EE Bugs (v1.3)
In my custom party of 6 (only me playing a multiplayer game) I completed the Melicamp chicken quest a few days ago. I reloaded a few times to have him live, but eventually I got the results I wanted and proceeded on. No issues here.

On my return to High Hedge to buy some scrolls, I stopped my playing session there, saved, and reloaded hours later. This is where the bug occurs, upon reloading, Thalantyr and Melicamp have their dialogue as if Melicamp was still a chicken, but he is not, he is human. It opens with Melicamp stating, "Yes, Master Thalantyr, it is *cluck* I." and proceeds as normal.

After choosing the correct dialogue options, my journal updates itself that I should gather a skull for Melicamp to turn him back into a human. Even though in Chapter 1 I have completed this quest, it shows again in the Chapter I'm currently in (Chapter 3).

I don't have any mods installed and I am in v1.3, the only external editing I have done is acquired a gem bag, ammo belt, and a bag of holding through EEKeeper.

Good Luck!

    @Gate70‌ do you want to mark this a dupe or do you want to merge them?

    I'm not sure it is the same, unless @Wiggles‌ spoke to Kissiq after the first time and that triggers the later dialogue again.

    The entire #########-savename folder should be zipped, that can then be attached.
    Cheers

    Sorry, had a ten hour shift at work tonight. Ok, I'll add a .zip of the save file to the initial post @Gate70.

    After thinking of it now, yes, after the entire Melicamp quest and turning him into a human, I encountered Kissiq and he gave me his whole speech. I don't remember if after talking to Kissiq if anything was added to my journal, sorry. I'm also not sure if this triggers the whole repeated conversation with Thalyntyr and Melicamp, but I did talk to Kissiq after the whole Melicamp is already human sch-peel.

    Also, the game is multiplayer, not sure if that makes a difference when trying to open and view it.

    Thanks, and good luck.

    Multiplayer should be fine but helpful to know in case it does anything differently here.

    We'll need the baldur.gam, baldur.sav, world map and portraits - best to zip the entire content of whichever of your auto/quick/named save this came from, should be able to zip the folder itself.
    Thanks

    Think I finally nailed it this time, third times the charm. (?) @Gate70

    Yep, thanks @Wiggles‌

    I couldn't get it to work initially, but switching to multiplayer did the trick. I've tested one of the others in multiplayer and it does the same (comment not made before meeting Kissiq, is made after meeting him) so kudos to @Franpa‌ for working that out.

    & closing this as a dupe.
    Cheers
