Help! Aarin Attacks Me!

Everis · #1 (**permalink**) 11-27-2006, 11:24 PM

Hi all. I'm new to the forums, so sorry I don't have much of a profile right now. I just needed to find a place to get some help because this is driving me crazy. I'm playing the original NWN, intent on finishing it before I allow myself to buy NWN2. I'm in Luskan, and am having trouble once I deal with the two high captains. I looked around online and every site I looked at seemed to agree that at least one of the captains must be killed in order to gain what is needed to get into the Host Tower. So, I killed Baram and all his minions that attacked me as a result.

Invincible necromancers and ridiculously large numbers of other nasties aside, when I go back to the Temple of Tyr (whether by foot or stone of recall), Aarin and all the priests attack me!!! I tried finding help with this by looking at guides and walkthroughs, but it seems to be fairly unheard of. I'm so confused...can someone please help???

This sounds as though it could be some kind of a bug... It has been a number of years since I played the OC, but I definitely do not remember Aarin attacking me after killing one of the captains.
Do you have your game patched with the correct patch?

Yes, I actually originally had a problem getting the patches and only just recently was able to get them. I'm almost positive it was the right one anyway; someone else got it for me since I was having trouble. Everything else from the patches has worked though, so I assume it was the right one.

Definitely sounds like a bug, here.

And the Auto-updater patches are the best place to get them.

NWN runs without the CD/DVD, so there aren't any problems with patching due to the No-CD/Dvd crack.

Latest version I know of is 1.68.

Okay so I finally had a chance to check on which update I have, and I do in fact have the 1.68, which is listed as the current one. So why does Aarin still attack me? Any ideas? Or any advice on how I could go about finding the answer to that? I'd really like to finish the game.

I have a similar issue. I have completed Luksan Tower, but when I return to talk to Aarin Gend, both he and my NPC are attacking one of the monks. I am unable to talk to them and therefore can't finish the chapter. Gutted. Please help before I go mad!

After much digging on the internet, I found a solution!

Press ` to get a command prompt and type:
DebugMode 1
Then press ` again and type
dm_spawnitem M2Q5F_LUSKANKEY
This stops the fighting and you can talk to Aarin and end the level.
Before you do this, however, you should turn debug mode off.
Press ` one less time and type
DebugMode 0

Oh, capitalization matters.

Enjoy!
