Can't blame you there, waldo, I prefer to play unpatched myself but I've been lucky, I have had no bugs in this game (well except for the GOOD bugs! )

Did you try just pushing him out of the way?? (probably) hmmm not certain what there is to do that can be done unpatched. I'll keep thinking about it. Maybe I will remember some post that had more help than I do!

I cant get in to see the shaman. there is a guard in front of the doors and they are only half way open. I tried killing him and taking his stuff out of the way, but the doors still wont close or open! this game really doesnt want me to win

ummmm... ok a question: have you killed the toads inside the village?
Tell me that you didn't....

Have you downloaded and run the patch??

the only toad i killed is the guard blocking the door (the door was half open at the time) and i was trying to avoid getting the patch. i like the perks of this version
