A bug, maybe?

Hello!

I'm a new Gavin fan that, after having played BG1 with this fantastic npc in her group, decided to see immediately how the BG2 experience would have been changed with a new cleric in the party.

 

The problem I've encountered is that, at the start of BG2, the ring Gavin gave the pc in the previous game seem to be now unusable. I don't know why, since I've just exported the character from a bg1 save. I also noticed that if I start a new game without an imported pc the ring seems to work just fine (even if charname doesn't recognize it as her lover's gift, obviously).

Is this supposed to happen? May it be related to using an npc kit in bg 1 that isn't recognized anymore in bg2 (I was using the duskblade kit from the sword and fist and now I find myself with a simple warrior, if I export)?

 

p.s. sorry for my poor knowledge of english, I'm not used to writing in a language different from mine :)

Huh. That's strange. I *think* it's the same ring. I'll have to check to make sure that all of its effects are included in the package. Or it may be that the script that strips the items from the character at the start of the dungeon is doing something strange with the ring, although that seems unlikely.

 

If you're importing a character who romanced Gavin in BG1, she would have met his BG1 romance requirements, so the ring should have spawned behind the trapped painting in the starting dungeon. Is that one unusable too? I'll look up the item codes for the ring. If you create it with the console, it should appear in your inventory and be usable regardless of your import stats. When you find the ring, do you get the dialogue?

Ops, sorry but it seems that the problem isn't related to Gavin, but to the exported save. I just noticed that the pc isn't able to use a wide range of object, not just the ring (yesterday I only noticed that Gavin wasn't working correctly, I should be ashamed of myself!).

I probably messed something up with the installation order, I really hope to resolve everything with a clean installation!

I resolved with a new made character, who knows what happened! Thanks for your quick help anyway! :)

 

Btw, can I say how much I love the bg community? Even after all the years since the release of the game is still very much alive and kicking! And top quality mod too! You are awsome!

Honestly, I doubt you "messed up" anywhere. When something like this happens - rare, but glitches happen - it is almost never the player's fault. A script misfires, a character file is corrupted during import, some file is damaged during the downloading process, or something random and inexplicable. You are fortunate because you are able to create a new character and carry on as if nothing happened, but there have been times when my game glitched out because of some freak happenstance and I have been unable to even play the game. I thank you for reporting the issue regardless. It never hurts to be made aware of issues players are having regardless of whether they relate to my mod. If nothing else, if somebody else writes in to report that an item is unusable on an imported charcter, I can say "Import bugs happen" and refer here.
