Sometimes playing BWP I just get stuck without knowing if something does not happen because I'm missing something or I have messed some script. Or I just have no idea of what to do next. Easiest way is to find a walkthrough for a mod or just take a look at its scripts, but doing so always completely ruins experience for me and I swear I'll never do so again, hehe. So the only thing I ask is to give me as slightest hint of what to do as possible. Like in spite of saying "give Gaelan Bayle 20k gold", a slight hint "try to find a shadow thief contact" should do much better. I know it's a little too much to ask, but I hope you guys understand.

Current question is: Tashia romance. Major spoilers below, so you'd better not open the spoiler if you have not completed the awesome mod yourself.

After Tashia leaves the party with that Arisilian(masterspelling, i know), I have rested and the bastard killed her. I have killed Bodhi and no sign of Tashia plot yet. I have no idea of what to do next! Have I messed something up? In which direction should I look?

OK only minor hint.

Does the area where Tashia get killed familiar, maybe you have been there?

[Suslik]

Yeah, thanks! Umar hills cave was the first area I have checked, but have found nothing there. Weird. Anyway, that's exactly the hint I need right now, at least I know what to look for! Thanks again, mate, that's like a millionth time you help me with walkthrough hints, hehe.

Uhh, I'm utterly frustrated!

Spoiler

I did have check that cave in Tethir forest, but it was closed! "Check the bodies" was interfering, making the door impossible to open if I kill the party guarding it. Of course I decided to kill them! Argh, so frustrated, I spent hell of a time finding the cave and role-playing for the delay(lol) and in the end it turned out that another mod was interfering :/

Upd:

Spoiler

After an investigation some interesting things were discovered. CtB not only locks the door that's supposed to lead to the cave discussed(ar2602), it actually redirects this door to another dungeon and replaces the entrance to ar2602 to some another random point at the bottom of Forest Of Tethyr. So in fact it has not broken anything, but made the new entrance almost impossible to notice. Oh wow. Anyway thanks for help, micbaldur - with your help I managed not to ruin experience digging into any scripts other than almost irrelevant ar2600.are

Oh you did meet the famous Company of Eight.

Sorry for not answering earlier (watching olympics) but great that you figured out the changed entrance to Tashia's cave by yourself (better that way).

Ask any hints you need and i try to answer without spoiling too much.

Tethyr Forest Patch Version 3b

This work-around/fix was created to address the conflict between CtB and Tashia with that entrance. What I don't know is if is compatiable with ther curent versions of each mod.

I presume it's not included in the BWP fixes, as you're playing a BWP game.

As for the general topic about "Where to next?", I agree it can be very confusing and frustrating situation, especially in megamod game.

The only advice I have is to search/read/review the particular mod's forums, someone has surely asked the same question, probably repeated. And if not, you can be the first!

(And having better descriptive discussion Titles helps the community help you even better!)

[Suslik]

It's easier for me just to check the scripts if I really do not know what to do next, but it'll spoil the fun. If I start searching I'd definitely spoil even more. Glad that there are people like micbaldur who understand how bad can spoiling be and help without making any.

Regarding the fix I think there should be just one simple thing - note on the map. If I see a note on the map like "a strange cave" I'd check the area for entrances - I had no idea to check if there are more than one entrance on the location I have known for years.

Agreed.

There's 2 map change-options that I can imagine:

(1) an alteration to the map that somehow graphically points out the new entrance (although a sign saying 'Psst! Over here!' just might be too obvious!

(2) When any party member gets within a certain distance of the original entrance, some game-text appears over Player1's head, directing him/her to look for/at the new entrance.

Can someone recommend this in the CtB forum? (Particularly about adding the fix to the main mod, at least as an optional component)
I would/will do it myself once I get back to playing again.

Might be better to include that eventual fix in Tashia. Check for CtB installed, recommended install-order and all that, better be the latest installed to fix incompatibilities.

Agreed again-- as NPCs mods are supposed to be installed after BiG quest mods.
