Hmm, I don't know if it will be very challenging or so, though...have a 100+level character...is this just as tribunal, a place you can enter and leave, or a new adventure?

Row,
Did you go back to the Captain and report the reason for the low morale? You must tell him the reason is the booze, he doesn't know until you report back. What does your last journal entry on this quest tell you? I have not loaded any patches for Blood Moon, but as far as I know I haven't run into any major problems, not this one for sure. Check your journal, see what the last thing said about this particular quest, that should give you a hint as to what to do or what you have not done to help yourself progress onward. Hope we can get somewhere with this soon.

Drizzt,
This game is an expansion, so yep you can go back to the two other locations via boats or flying.
It's much bigger than Tribunal I think. Hm, high stats, but the fighting here is tough at times and pretty intense with ganging up on you. The quest are pretty good so far and again the graphics are top notch.
Ingie

Ingie, my last journal entry says he feels unease coming from the soldiers and he thinks someone is spreading ill will. He asks me to talk to the soldiers to find out more. However, NONE of the soldiers will get into a conversation with me. When I spacebar them, they state that they are unhappy with the booze and say Good-bye. I can't get more from them and my journal doesn't trigger. The one priest will make a comment, but again no journal trigger. When I go back to the captain, he's just mad that I haven't found anything out yet and he sends me on my way to do the quest. I'm running around in circles here. I don't know what I have missed. Do you know of a walkthrough that I can look at so I can see what I haven't done?

Drizzt, it depends on what kind of a challenge you are looking forward to. I personally don't like fighting anyway so I like it that I have high stats and the fighting doesn't start a panic attack. I love exploring and I love the beautiful scenery. I love finding stuff and I love doing quests regardless of how simple or complex. My only frustration right now is not being able to trigger something that should be simple, but it just isn't working for me. Right now if a band of smugglers attacked me, I would consider this easy compared to the silly obstacle that I am facing.

Ingie, the most annoying baddies are the sprigams. It's like having to kill a cliff racer 3 times before they are really dead. It's really annoying when you are attacked by a group of them because each has 3 lives. It was a real surprise to me the first time it happened. I couldn't figure out how many I was really fighting. My first experience with them was 3 at once - that's 9 lives. After that I was much more careful approaching a stranger in the woods.

I got it! I got it!! I got it!!!

Off to find me a wee dram to celebrate.

Hmm, it feels like bloodmoon in my room right now...hate getting up in the mornings.

Way to go Row,
How did you manage? Change in dialogue?
Now onward
Ingie

Ingie, I picked up a bottle of booze. After that the soldiers could smell the booze on me and started talking!

Sorry Row,
Never dawned on me you didn't have anything like that with you! They sniffed me out right off the bat and took all I had
Got my special made white snow bear armor all done, do I look good or what!
Ingie

Talk about money grubbing: whenever I find a chest or barrel with stuff in it I always pick up the coins first even if it is a small amount. They could be right beside a weapon worth thousands but I'll still pick up the lousy couple of coins first. I guess I am weight conscious. Coins don't add weight.

I am just doing the magic stone quests and am on the wind quest. I have to find a greedy man with a bag. The description of where he is is fairly vague, so I'll just hunt around SE of the lake but haven't found him yet.

Row that's so funny-so do I!
Thought I was the only one.
Tsk, where have our values gone?
Ah, the greedy wind stealer! You'll find it, directions are vague, but the good thing is even flying over an area will show up all the caves and barrows!
Have, fun-this one is strange. Actually though I loved this quest-the stones I mean-took me a long time to realize they are indicated on the paper map-
Ingie

I finished the Skaal Village quests, finished at the castle and the glacier. I wanted to go back to save the captain but couldn't. They were very interesting quests. I found the amulet for the guy in Morrowind. I found that treasure cave.

The only thing left now is to choose to help the guy at Ft Frostmoth, or the guy at Raven Rock. Does anyone know which of the 2 has the best quests?

Row,
Why not save 2 games, try the quests under different folks? Then let us know which is best!
I have one saved to play as Werewolf. I'm past making my decision as to which guy; for me it was easy since one guy I did not like at all.
Let us know-hoping to finish up this weekend-today maybe.
Ingie

Ingie, I tried playing both sides but I ended up at dead ends now in both:

When I play for the guy at Ft Frostmoth (who I don't like) I got a quest to kill Sprigams near Raven Rock. I can't find any more sprigams and my journal won't update.

When I play from a different save for Falco I got expeled from the EI Company. I like these quests more. Falco said he would shuffle some paperwork and re-hire me for a fee. However, I can't trigger a re-hire. He just repeats what he said.

row,
Oh, well now isn't that a corker.
Hmmm, I haven't been able to go in as I wanted but I am at the Spriggins quest. Wonder why you have none to kill? Were you ruthless and killed them all? I wouldn't think so.
I'll go in and see what happens with mine and let you know how it goes. Don't think I can help with the other; although I do have another save that I could maybe get up to that point.
I'll try and let you know asap. In the meantime, make sure you have all the others entered in journal and haven't missed anything.
Ingie

Row,
The Spriggins are hiding-why didn't they do that before may I ask.
Anyway-head east of the colony, make sure you check behind buildings. They won't come out to get you; you have to go get them. Why? RPG!
I'm not sure about the other part-what quest did you complete before the rehire? What quest is this involved in?
Ingie
