1. I get to Arindale and...there's nothing there but a big, grassy meadow...did my game fail to load the city in, or do i need to do something to see this mythical elfin city? oh, and i ran over to Ulm cuz i was bored...it's also not there
2. so because Arindale was invis, i ran down to Skuldoon for fun...found the nice arena, fought a few times, got some nice xp...then i decided to save in the arena itself...after i killed the critter, hey, what do u know, the door wouldn't open to let me out? cool, huh? (sarcasm intended)
3. so here i am, stuck and a lil peed off...ne1 wanna give me some sage advice bout what to do to rectify these problems?
-aside- it's actually not a bad game, just very glitched...and i REALLY don't wanna start over again, for the umpteenth time
oh, and btw, when i patched my v1.3 to v1.4, it rendered my game unplayable...everytime i try to start a new char in v1.4, the char gen screen goes light purple on me and freezes up...what's up with that? so i'm stuck playing v1.3
stuck in DL...yay!

I have Collectors Edition (C1.5). I don't anything about V1.3.
Arindale is supposed to be an open city like Skulldoon. There should be a few buildings and a moonbridge. On the West side of the river from South to North is:
If the Arindale town is missing, then it's likely your installation failed in some manner. I suggest looking around again for the buildings. If they are truly missing, then try re-installing the game.

- the Inn,
- the temple (the moonbridge is just west of the temple),
- the Hall of Lords (or whatever they call that place with the Elf king),
- the Armory,
- and the Apothecary.
- The House of Tiger (asian theme with a required quest),
- and Emmindor's Tower.

yesterday, i explored the entire area where Arindale was supposed to be...not a single building in sight
i thought it might be in the trees, being an elfin city and all, so i tried to jump into the trees (yes, i was that bored and frustrated)
i'll try reinstalling and repatching, yet again, for the bazillionth time
love the game, just extremely frustrating with the numerous bugs/glitches

Sorry you are having such a tough time with the game...
Did you have any problems getting into Fargrove? Is Fargrove there, or is that a grassy meadow too? If you climb over the mountains to get into Fargrove it will never be there, it has to be entered through the sewers. I've never encountered Arindale not being there, so I can't speculate why it isn't....definitely odd.
There are a few areas in the game when a door closes and if you save and quit in those areas you will not get out. That is a bad glitch,but it is one that is documented here in the forum.

If you have an athletics of four, you could try to backflip up one of the poles, and see if you can climb over the wall to get to the seating area above the arena. Either that, or load from an earlier save and never save in the arena or any area like that again...wait until you get back out again.
You can hexedit your location using either a hex editor or the DL editor that is available for download here. Check the sticky at the top of the page for information about that.
I had initially purchased the 1.3 version and patched it to 1.4 with absolutely no problems, so I'm not sure why your patch isn't working. There are three versions of patches...one for patching 1.1 to 1.3, then 1.1 to 1.4 and additionally 1.3 to 1.4, so maybe you might want to put your saved games in a folder, uninstall the game so you can do a fresh install and then patch the game again. I downloaded the patch from filefront, maybe the one you downloaded was corrupted or something. That can happen occasionally with large file downloads.
