Bug? Companions not following
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2009 6:03 pm
I have an extremely frustrating thing going on (single player) and I don't know if it's not some 'feature' I've inadvertently flagged. I have various companions that will not follow the lead character, some do, dome do not. Each one has to be given movement order independently, playing an incredibly tedious game of hopscotch. They used to follow appropriately, and then as the game progressed, they would just stop. It has gotten so bad, that I am sorely tempted to opt out of having any companions with me whatsoever!
As far as I know I did not 'select' anything for them. I have certainly not turned on or off individual options. Their "Puppet Mode" is 'off' such that they DO use their default artificial intelligence. I've tried turning it on and off, turning it on, exiting, saving, reloading, turning it back off, still nothing. I've clicked every option I could find on and off, nothing.
I've started a game in Mask of the Betrayer, just to see if that was playable and shortly into the game, the Red Wizard stopped following my main character. And my main won't follow her either.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this some feature WAD I simply am unaware of and hitting some control key will change it? Or is this a bug? I would not be surprised if it was a bug as my game is constantly crashing with what I am sure are unrelated problems.
Running Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold on Windows Vista. I've not found any 'extra' patches online for this edition (and I most certainly have spent time looking) and I assume it is the latest. The load screen reads:
Version 1.021 (1549) FINAL Nov 13 2008 13:38:00
While the auto-updater says:
