    Hi, I just started BG2, and I am unable to talk to the Sewage Golem in the beginning in the game. I have the activation stone, but whenever I try to talk to it, it just says that the Golem is busy. What do I do?

    Download the most recent patch. It fixes the '[npc] is busy' problem. Your save will still be workable afterwards (so you won't lose your crafted char).

    Yeah, you have to get that patch. The bug comes from having Win XP... My friend managed to play the whole game through even with the bug. A heck of alot of saving and loading...

    Quick-Save the game, then re-load it. It should have no problem.(Although there is a time when it doesn't work.... I completed cult of the eyeless quest and I did this thing for 20~30 times and High watcher Osaig won't talk to me)

    Oh, oops. 8D; Sorry.

    Where can I get the patch though? I clicked on the updates button, but all I got was a blank web page.

    Good luck, Black Magician Girl! =)

    I suggest you download the Ease-of-Use mod, Improved Items mod, and the specialized store clerks that sell you must-have items like Robe of Vecna and Shield of Balduran.

    Happy adventuring, and feel free to drop me a line if you want to discuss BG2.

    I might disagree that you need to download those extra mods for your first time through as many people have happily completed the game in its vanilla version. The Shield of Balduran is hardly a must-have item as I have never carried it.

    That patch is a must-have, though.

    @ Harbour

    Makes the Beholders/Gauths in the Unseeing Eye quest a pinch with SoB.

    @ Wordsmith

    Harbourboy is right,I think... She/He should play the Game a couple of times with no mods and without walkthroughs. Otherwise she/he will miss all the fun !

    And man,... Are u trying to flirt via forum? :rolleyes: Whatever... Nice try though :p ...Nice try... :D
