Kyshakk Koan eaintree Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 It's an item you can give Nicodemus for him to make something for you - except that it goes through the text of him making something and then I didn't actually get an item. I went back to autosave and tried it again to be sure. Nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 That sounds like a corrupted file. You might try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. Then retry from the autosave file. The problem shouldn't be in the save game with that type of error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan eaintree Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 An hour later, the item just appeared in my inventory. Okay... Also wanted to see what happened if I killed Vardegras right off when he's first chasing you around. You can kill him, but then the storyline plays out with him still there anyway through your fight with Miranda and your 2nd talk with him. When you get back to Proteus you tell him that you killed the dragon and you get the medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Vardegras is scripted so you can kill him and get text as if he is alive. I think you can kill him twice, once below and later comeback and kill him above on lower difficulties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Is it possible it was always there? IIRC he gives you a charm with the same name as the item he takes, in that particular case. Some of the charms have small or faint icons, as well. Alternately, it may be that it appears in one of your companion's inventories if yours is full, or if you aren't the one carrying the Larva.

Kyshakk Koan eaintree Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Nah, it wasn't there when I first had him make it. Yeah the item has the same name or almost, and it definitely wasn't there. Like I said, I went back to autosave to see what the item you give him looks like, had him do it again, same result. My inventory wasn't full, I left space for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I don't mean to doubt you here, but it seems unlikely that this is an actual glitch, given that it hasn't been reported by anyone else who's played the game, which is a lot of people at this point. (And since we can look at the code in the dialogue script, it would have to be a generalized bug and not one specific to this exchange, anyway, which makes it even more unlikely that no one else would have encountered it.) I don't suppose you still have that save from before you turned in the item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan eaintree Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 All I can tell you is what happened... I'm 99% sure that it didn't show up at first... the item you give Nicodemus and the item he makes for you are similar visually but NOT identical-looking, and the item I have now simply was not there at first. And if my inventory was full it wouldn't have shown up in another character's inventory (which it didn't anyway, it showed up in my primary character's inventory after the fact), I would have instead seen the "you don't have room for this item, it falls to the floor" text, which I certainly didn't see. Nope, don't have that save anymore. I'm too impatient and when it didn't originally show up I just continued without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan eaintree Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 ...now I don't know what the hell's going on. The item vanished again. I guess it's some glitch in my copy of the game that's just specific to this item? I haven't had any such glitches with anything else. If I delete my whole copy of A2 and re-download it, I'll lose my game in progress, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Can you take some screenshots and upload them here? (Or your saves.) One of your inventory now, and if you have a recent save where the item is there, maybe one then also? And one if it returns again? As described, this is a really bizarre but also potentially serious bug. Also: what did you do between the last time you saw the item, and when you just noticed it missing?

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 A2 saved game files are not stored with the game so you won't lose them if you delete and reinstall the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan eaintree Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 ...I don't keep older saves, so I can't do a screenshot with it there right now, but I'll take one without and and see if it shows up again. Hmm... I was playing last night, I noticed that Nicodemus' item hadn't shown up, posted here, kept playing, later noticed that it had shown up. Went to sleep... when I looked at my game this morning, it was gone again. I was at the point in the game just before you go with Odil to fight Konstantina.
