Ok man no one is responding to my post and u seem to know alot about bg2 so this is my problem. When i try to talk to important people like with quests i get the " apears busy " so i cant talk to them and do my quest. I have downloaded the patch from bioware web site , i unistalled TOB and BG2 and reinstalled put the patch in and i still get the "apperas busy"

any ideas?

You know, I really don't know how that happened. I have encountered the same problem as well once (the Sewage Golem in Irenicus' Dungeon wouldn't talk to me) and it when i reinstalled the whole thing it still wouldn't talk to me. IIRC the problem disappeared when I installed ONLY BG2 - SoA, and not ToB. Try if that works. If so, then you're a happy man. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Have you put in the Baldurdash fixpack as well?

No i havent i am some what new to bg2 soa installs what is it?

If you wish to cover all flaws in the game, you should install both the official game patch (downloadable at the Bioware site) AND the Baldurdash Fixpack. I don't know where the latter one can be obtained, but try typing "Baldurdash Fixpack BG2" in Google, and I'm sure you can find it.

the bioware patch should have fixeda it, it's a known bug, maybe you got the wrong patch, make sure you download the tob patch and not the soa patch

The correct order is:
SoA
ToB (if you have it)
Official BioWare patch (the SoA-only one if you only have SoA, otherwise the ToB one)
BaldurDash Fixpack (I've heard you should avoid the BaldurDash Remix)
Non-WeiDU MODs
WeiDU MODs

For links to BioWare, BaldurDash, etc, they're in my site, in the Appendix for Links.

Dark Drifter, what you're experiencing is a common problem, caused by a corrupted DIALOG.TLK file: The creatures in the game don't know what to say. I'm surprised by the fact that you've reinstalled and patched your game, and you still get the bug, because that's supposed to fix it. Did you delete the Override folder when you uninstalled the game? You should have, as otherwise it can carry "bad" information, even after a reinstall.

That is the problem, but sometimes simple saving, quitting and reloading helps.

this seems to be a common error from what I've seen. if you have corrupted files in your override or saved games... spending 3 hours to reinstall will not help you at all. whenever you reinstall to fix a bug, always delete your override folder. backup your saved games if you want... but try starting a new game first to see if the problem still exists.

same with whoever it was that had maxed out their summons count and couldnt summon anymore. if you keep the saved game (with the problem) no amount of re-installing will help
