The imp in the magic crystal...

[AcidGrem]

When i went to find the imp in verdistis to tell him to join the council of 7, and met his friend telling me he is in a magic crystal and if i want to find him i'll have to go in there, thinking that it might be an imp trap i declined. after i realised that i should had gone in i went back to the imp to go in the crystal. Eventhough in the first conversation the imp told me to go speak to him when im ready, when ever i try to initiate dialogue he asks me what am i doing in his room and my only available reply is 'sorry wrong room'. Where is this cristal ball that i need to touch? how can i get to the imp ambassador?

That's odd--you should have the option to get the crystal, again. I assume you have a saved game file you can go back to, right before you rejected his offer.

If not, try Larian Studio's tech support forum. This is clearly a bug, and not one I've heard of, before. You do have the latest patch installed, correct?

I had the same problem with the imp and the crystal ball. For some time I hoped this would sort itself out, but then my savegame become (slowly) so corrupted that I could not continue playing. I deinstalled the game with disgust.
So, in a way, the problem did sort itself out, heh.

And did you detail the problem on Larian's tech board? What was their response?

[Nowakus]

Are you asking about the cristal ball, or the inability to play the game with my corrupted save?
Nevertheless, I have never received support from game developers, so I do not bother any more with that. Especially with serious cases like corrupted saves, where chances of a fix are close to 0.

I'm asking about the crystal ball. Whether you like Larian's tech support or not, that board is frequented by a huge number of players to both DD and BD. If anybody has a fix for something like that or knows whether one was ever provided, it's going to be up there.

[Nowakus]

I might have started asking about the crystal ball problem eventually, that's true. In the beginning I was not sure if it is a bug or a feature. But as I said, this particular problem became irrelevant when the my savegame become corrupted.

[fable]

With this game, I saved constantly. There's no question that there are data corruption issues with the final product, but it so much more interesting and involving as a game than, say, Sacred or Dungeon Siege, that the effort was worth it.
