Jarlaxle bugs

    There are (at least) 2 critical bugs in the Jarlaxle fight:
    -Sometimes when you go to the lich for the first time and attack nim straight away, he doesn't teleport you straight away, gets killed and the game is stuck. There is an easy workaround, don't attack him an just let him teleport you.
    -When you kill the lich and get Jarlaxle's gems, you're teleported to Jarlaxle's pocket dimension. Then you can choose to fight him or not. If you fight, after he and his mage are dead, you're teleported out. Here is the bug, almost always you get stuck in an infinite loop where you appear next to the lich's tower, the screen turns black, you appear next to the liches tower again and so on.

    It's weird, but I didn't find any reference to the 2nd bug here and it drives me nuts. I don't want to leave the bastard alive, I don't let anybody use me and live to talk about it. But I can't return to the game afterwards. I remember having the troubles before and somehow managing to do it, but now I tried things like changing killing order, killing fast or slow, nothing seems to help.
    Any suggestions?

    ---------- Added 10 hours, 34 minutes and 38 seconds later... ----------

    I noticed that at each loop UI pops up for a tiny fraction of a second.
    I kept 'q' pressed and when it popped up, the game saved. I reloaded and everything was fine.

    I usually just ignore him completely, just like the giant, psychic jellyfish in Ust Natha. From what I remember, he would normally either teleport away or teleport me away without me being able to get him, which pissed me off enormously. He's annoying like Saemon, who I tend to kill always too.
