NwN temple of Tyr: BUG? cannot talk to henchman

papalon · #1 (**permalink**) 09-18-2005, 05:57 AM

I found out that I cannot talk to Linu anymore after I changed my henchman to others.
When I try to talk with her, the messages appears as
"The object is busy and can not talk to you right now."

She seems like she keeps fighting with someone.

How can I do with her? I haven't finished Linu's quest yet.

You could try saving the game when you are right next to her, pause the game while it is loading and before Linu does whatever she is doing, talk to her while the game is paused. This may bypass whatever she is doing, then add her to the party

Thank you for the advice.
I tried this (I didn't know I can pause while loading!) but Linu doesn't answer me. She still ignores.

I tried to attack her. Then everyone becomes hostile of course, but when I keep running from them, sometimes they return to neutral somehow.
Even doing this, Linu is still busy!

Maybe it's a good way to just kill her (I'm evil) and forget about this...

Pause the game as soon as you can be pressing the space bar. This should also work while loading. If the screen then loads up black (apart from the quick bar at the bottom and the other stuff that appears) quickly unpause and repause until you see Linu. Then click on her (while the game is paused) to iniate dialogue.
Hope that makes sense.

If that doesn't work try downloading the latest patch for the game and see if that makes any difference.

I wouldn't attack her, as she should come back in later chapters. You might not get the same problem then.

Hey! After the several try, I finally could hire Linu! and complete her quest!
Thank you very much Ravager.

By the way, if we miss to start the henchman quest at chapter 1 and don't have those henchman items (like 'Amulet of the Red Tiger..'), can we do those in later chapters?
Since through my first play, I forgot to do these quest and in chapter 2 or 3, none of those henchmans gave me a thing.

Anyway, thanks again.

No - you can not do the henchmen quests in later chapters if you haven't done the preceding chapter quests.

I think you have to do the quests in their specific chapter (i.e. there is a stage in each chapter). It should be pretty easy to test, for sure. Just keep engaging in dialogues with respective henchmen. If you neglected the dialogues in chapter 1 and you can still complete the quest, you should be able to dart through them by the time you're in chapter 2.
