Okay, fishing village. It is north of the Beard. I assume you have already been there? If not, find the fisherman in Baldur's Gate (Nadalin, I think). He will tell you about not being able to fish anymore. He doesn't reveal the area, I don't remember who does or if you just need to leave the Beard to see it. Anywho, clear out the sirines next to his boat and all fire salamanders (inside the cave also).
Talk to the skipper in the village and also Nadalin so he knows he can go home. You will not be able to go to the ice salamander island without solving the Citadel quest (which I think you had already hosed).
CTD issues. If it is on more than one area, it could be an item that needs to reappear or recharge (something that disappears with use but returns after resting). I can't think of any new items like this. The other known problem for these crashes is a memmorized spell that is corrupt (simply a bad spell). You would have to unselect that spell from your memorized list so it won't try to add it back.
a CTD on one screen only usually means that the resting monster spawn has a bad creature listed. So I would need to know if this is really the problem with your game. Does it just crash on Cloudpeaks or on any area? At an inn and/or outside?
The game crashed in the Cloudpeaks, in Larswood, and on the Durlag's Tower screen. Both outside and in. I haven't tried an Inn yet. I'm assuming the fisherman in BG is somewhere near the water. I'll go see if I can track him down. Right now, I have nothing north Ulgoth's Beard. I have one candidate for an item that is supposed to recharge. Keiria had a Lute that cast a Dire Charm spell on an enemy. I thought the Lute was usable once a day, but the item disappeared from her Quickslot, and has not returned. Let me pull up NI and see if its still in her inventory. I'll begin checking my other items and spells as well. This could take awhile.
Got it! I nailed down my little problem. It's one of the Dark Side items. The Robe of Dh'arlo'me. The damned thing's unstable. It had Keiria's spell slots for first and second level totally fubared. I was able to use NI to swap the robe out with something else, then reset her memorized spells and, Viola! the problem went away.
More good news, I have found the fishing village, you have to head out from the Northesast corner of the Fields of the Dead map to access it. In the process of killing Salamanders now.
I've found another problem. The little cottage just north of Olivia causes a CTD if you try to enter it.
Ok, this has got to be just me. I'm not sure I've been able to get any of the NT quests to run through to completion. For the moment, I'm going to take a break and run through the TotSC materials. At this point Keiria is 11th level. Imoen is 11th level. My multiclass character is 8th, 8th, 7th.
