Possible Keexie Tavern Bugs

So I'm in Chapter 5 and dropped by the Keexie Tavern in BG East for a quick drink...and I observed two problems:

* The name of the last drink on the list isn't visible - it is obscured by the interface button and can't be read.
* Buying ANY of the drinks does not produce any rumours at all - meaning there's no reason to buy any drinks here apart from getting drunk...

I suspect that both of the above are bugs and am playing version 2.6.6.0. Do these bugs occur in other taverns I wonder?

    You should be getting rumors; the Keexie Tavern uses RBALDU.DLG as its rumor source like other taverns in the big city. I don't know why you aren't seeing anything.

    Though I did notice one thing that looks off when scanning through the files - Alvanhendar's temple/winery in Gullykin uses the Candlekeep rumors. But then, there's no good alternative; the Nashkel and Beregost rumors have too many specific references to being in that location. You'd need a new dialogue just for that one shop.

    Also, Alvanhendar should really sell drinks as well as cures. Mod fodder, anyone?

    For reference, I'm currently in Chapter 7 and don't have either of these issues. In my game, there are 7 drinks fully visible & I can buy them all, and the rumors there mention things from throughout the Main Plot, ranging from the start of the iron crisis (I guess Mick Feelie drinks here?) to Duke Eltan's sickness and Silvershield's death.

    I should note that the Drink::Rumor ratio is nothing like 1::1, each drink purchased has only a chance (which seems to be influenced by the drinker's Charisma) of calling up a rumor. You probably just got unlucky, several times in a row.

    Even though I'm playing unmodded BG1EE, I'm actually surprised at how much mod content Beamdog chose not to adopt as canon. I can understand not implementing things like Quest Pack, but how could they leave out Unfinished Business? Coran still has his archaic & illegal 20 DEX & 3 stars in Longbow (they didn't even do the decent thing & move his extra proficiency point into Shortbow instead), Sarevok's diary misspells the month of Mirtul as "Myrtle", and they even preserved the bug about being able to pickpocket a duplicate of a certain unique item from an immaterial being. What were they thinking?

    Thanks. I'll try again soon with a character with high charisma and let you know....
