    [​IMG] Why whenever i rest or get to a certain place in the game (im in chapter 3) the screen will change to a cut-scene with like 5 green-robed mages talking about how they "scryed" me and i'm to blame for things then killing my character? This happens to me when i'm entering some areas(W.K.) or just randomly in the lower tomb of the vamps in the g-yard district. What am i missing? I want to move on to 4 but this keeps happening to me. Thanks.....

    I've never heard of that. Sounds like you might be playing a mutated version of the game (or I don't have a clue what I am talking about).

    It's definately TDD, but I haven't played TDD in a long long time... I'm downloading it right now, (3.5 hours 'cause the website has like 14.4kbps I guess), so I'll let you know if I figure it out. Maybe you should try beating them :) or running away!

    Go through a door then right back out as they begin to enter, and usually some will stay inside and some will stay outside, so you can take them out little by little.

    no. it's a cut-scene. you can't control anything. i've tried messing around with a few files to no avail. I also have Weidu mods in the game like NPC flirt and a bunch of other Weidu mods. It would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack trying to pick out the file or script and fix it. I never had this problem before with my BG2 and all the mods I have on it........it might be the end.......

    i'm just gonna have to do some trial and error playing and deleting/re-installing/altering some files in the folder itself.

    Cutscenes/dreams shouldn't be able to kill you, are you sure you kept playing or did it immediately take you to the "load/exit" menu?

    After the cut-scene it goes back into the normal interface with my character then saying "my chest is bursting...oh no i'm dying!", then plunk he's dead. I've deleted the Ascension and Redemption mods (Weidu) and the saved games where it happened and so far it's all good. I just lost about 2-3 hours of playing. I'll keep you posted. I kept TDD installed so i don't think that's the problem. Which is good 'cause I love the extra weapons in that mod. Deleting it would have taken any TDD loot my party has with it. It's all part of the journey when you have multiple tweaks/mods added on over time. This is the first (weird) problem i've had except for a few character dialog scripting errors in the past that didn't affect anything.
