Dorn quest bug

in BG:EE Bugs (v1.2)
I believe I encountered a bug with Dorn's quest. After collecting him I spoke to Taris in Nashkel, who pointed us on the trail of Kryll. I traveled to the area specified (I believe it was AR5500), and encountered Kryll surrounded by corpses. However, instead of triggering a conversation with her, Dorn spoke to me, said something to the effect of "she could be dangerous", and then nothing happened. I tried speaking with her and the game simply says "Kryll has nothing to say to you."

Anyone else had this problem? It seems to be preventing Dorn's dialogue from advancing and I'm not certain yet if force-attacking her causes the quest to update properly.

    I manually killed Kryll by targeting her myself and murdering her in cold blood. The quest seems to have advanced properly.

    I finished up with Simmeon, but Dorn didn't say anything. Later he simply disappeared from my party. Fun!

    Tried CLUAConsole-ing him, but he has nothing to say to me.

    Same bug after the latest patch, Dorn does not say anything when Simmeon dies. This questline is all kinds of screwed up. Playtesting, what is it?

    I have just encountered the same bug. The extra part I notice is after Dorn gives his little speech when the bodies are sighted, my movement on screen goes all....ummm, sticky and the map refuses to scroll more than a millimetre at a time.

    I encountered this bug today as well. Like @Euryales said, the behaviour of the camera changes after the little dialogue with Dorn. It constantly focuses on Dorn and follows him. It's really weird.

    Same thing happened to me. I just force attacked Kryll and she started her dialogue as intended.

    I think that's because the screen centres on Dorn like he's then supposed to approach and have a dialogue with Kryll but it doesn't seem to trigger. (Does that make sense??)
    I have been avoiding the area in the hopes it's fixed next patch as none of the suggestions to get it to trigger worked for me.

    Same bug here v1.0.2011. No work-around suggestion work.

    I just did it !!! I found the solution!!! I have neera with me too and in Kryll area in random fight let the ambush (giberlings mostly) kill hir (not perma death needed) when they do Dorn engage the first "talk" then go for Kryl and second "talk" (the right one ) will take place and trigger :DDDD I dont know if it works with any character. I used Neera by accident (very low HP). I hope this "solution" helps.

    @Bigoun thankyou so much!! That worked for me also. Pity poor Neera had to bite the bullet to ensure the quest fired!! :-P Better go patch the poor thing back up!

    I ran into the same bug, but (fortunately) I found that I didn't have to resort to sacrificing a party member to kick-start the dialogue.

    Workaround: I had Dorn walk up to Kryll and attempt to punch her (i.e. a solo unarmed attack) - it seemed in character for Dorn to do such a thing, and as soon as he tried to hit her (before he actually struck) the appropriate dialogue began instead of the attack. Then Kryll revived the corpses surrounding her (but turned them all into skeletons as she did so) and we fought (obviously). After they were all dead (again!), there was further dialogue between Dorn and my PC which all made sense, so I think it was working properly.

    Edit: yes, later on I met Simmeon and completed Dorn's quest and had further dialogue with him triggered by completion, so I'm sure it was working properly after the initial kick-start.

    @Gallowglass
    Is this bug still present in your game?

    I had a similar bug, I had my party move group up outside where she was, and sent minsc in first. Then the screen focused on Dorn and never let me take it off him. I removed him from my party and it focused on him until he Despawned. Then I went to get him again, and when he got back in my party it focues on him again.

    I fixed it by not sending in minsc first after I loaded, so not actually a big deal.
