Can't Fight!

My party got the ring of calling and took it to the wizard in the Hall of Wizards. However, he said that since we disturbed him he will not tell us the word (or even talk to us) allowing us to enter the Speculum Grounds until we leave through the dungeons. We left and came back but he is still ignoring us.

Additionally, when we fight monsters now, we can't attack them! I put the sword icon on the enemy to fight and click the mouse but nothing happens. The only spells I can use are fireball and lightning. Is this a glitch or is it part of the game? Has this happened to anyone else?

I never heard of this before, i assume that you still have the ring of calling on the skeletal arm if Caalenfaire did not spoke the power word. Load a previous save and choose the dialogues right so that the ring can be released.

As for the fighting problem, this happens sometimes, when you engage in combat and the foes are far the attack icon is dimmed and you cannot perform an attack at least the first turn, this also happen (dimmed attack icon) when the foes are friendly, you can however cast spells at them, but after that you should be able to attack them. Is that what happened??

No, I can be standing right next to the guy and this happens. I've been in a hundred fights in this game and its never happened before. Also, I went back to Caalenfire and tried the dialogue in different ways but always the same result.

In that case do you have the latest patch installed? It is most likely a bug. If you don't, you can download it from here .

I fixed it by installing the old patch. I had already installed the 1.3 patch, but I had assumed it included the two previous patches. After I installed 1.1 and 1.2 patches, it worked again. Thanks.

I thought they were included too.

. I had installed patch v1.3 and the game worked fine, but you never know.
