I need to talk to you.. (not enough gold?)

    I found a bug in the game earlier this afternoon. After you talk to Aribeth in the City Core - Hall of Justice, she gives you 100 gold. A mistake the programmers made (with the v1.10.6710 release, unpatched) is you can keep on going back to her to get unlimited gold. Here's how:

    Talk to Aribeth again in the Hall of Justice and say [1] "I need to talk to you..", [1], [4] "How does the stone of recall work again?", [1], [1], [1] and you will receive 100 more gold. Technically speaking if you want to be cheap, you can do this repeatedly.

    [1],[1],[4],[1],[1],[1],[2] "Ask more questions..", [4],[1],[1],[1],[2],[4],[1],[1],[1],[2], and so on...

    Happy spending!!

    p.s. I'm curious, does this work on the other versions after you update with the newest patch? I'd hope they'd fix something as obvious as that. Thanks for reading!

    This is not a bug, this was a design decision... Same thing would happen if you restarted the module, talked to her, saved the char and started again... But you can obviously do it in the game without even restarting. I suppose this is because of multiplayer where everyone must talk to Aribeth to get the Stone of Recall... But I have no idea why they didn't put a tag somewhere that would make Aribeth remember already giving you the gold. *shrug*

    It could be also left there intentionally for the newbies who want more gold to start with. I don't think there was any mention of this getting fixed in the patch.

    Well, I am not getting the correct path for the gold. I only get one option to ask how the stone of recall works, then a continue, another continue, and that is it. This is with the patch installed. I guess they did fix it in the patch, and forgot to mention it. Unless, unless someone can actually do it and post the correct way to do it. I admit, I'm a noob, and would like a few coin to hire a decent henchman.

    EDIT: If you use import/export, it works fine. I wonder if the extra gold bug is because of the charisma score? Like high one gets to exploit the bug?

    You do make a legitimate point T, but they could've corrected the problem in the code by only allowing each character to get the starting gold only once.

    Has anyone else here tried to do this after updating with the patch? Does it still work?
