dunvi Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 In the mage origin, when I talk to Jowan after he joins the party only, I'm getting staging bugs. If I talk to him before going into the basement, it teleports me to right in front of the big, outside entryway doors, which is just a pain. But worse, if I talk to him in the basement, it teleports me to the center of the map, in the blank space in the middle of the corridor ring, forcing me to reload! I can't remember if my 1st mage had this error, because I don't remember if I talked to Jowan that time since it was ages ago (okay, more like a month, but close enough). I'll play around with my mods, see if I can figure out what's causing it, but I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten this bug (and could perhaps same me some time)? My first mage only had official DLC installed. Since then, I've added a couple, which I'll list below in case anyone can pinpoint what's going on. I haven't noticed any other issues like this anywhere else in the game, and I can't think of why any of the mods I've installed could cause a problem like this (but I'm not a modder so what do I know?). most recent: Alley of Murders (disabled, will get around to removing when I'm not so tired), storage chest (I forgot I threw that one in. Haven't been to the party camp since I added it...), CC extra tints and tones, that one that removes the second drain life from the spell list less recent: Advanced Tactics, Advanced Quickbar, ZDF, Morrigan Restoration Patch (with Loghain fixes), dialogue tweaks (yes, I have the compatible versions) least recent: Skip the Fade, Character Respec Mod, Dragon Age Rules Fixpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBlade Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Regardless of whether you believe them to be compatible, the first thing I would do would be to remove ZDF, Morrigan Restoration Patch and dialogue tweaks and see if that fixes things. When you say you talk to him are you initiating the conversation or is it the normal plot-line dialogue? If you are initiating it, your best bet may be not to talk to him.

dunvi Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Only when initiating conversation, the plot line dialogues are fine. I'm mostly just interested in where the bug is coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBlade Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I've never seen a bug like that and I am fairly heavily modded (Alley of Murders active along with Morrigan Restoration Patch and Dialogue Tweaks) but then I don't initiate any more conversation with Jowan than I have to - I loathe his whining :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraEx Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) The only stages used in Jowan's dialogue (in the Mage Origin) are: 2p_200_bronze_r.stgbhm100_player_awakens.stgjowan_attack.stgjowan_lily.stg So, check for any mods that are altering those files, or bhm100_jowan.dlg. Those would be the likely culprits, but strange stuff does sometimes happen in DA... The other possibility might be an altered area file for the circle tower itself, since the staging might not match up with the original layout, don't have much experience of that myself though.

Chiramu Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Does Jowan say anything interesting if you click on him when he's in your party anyway?I wish there was a way to take the matter straight to Gregoir, I never ever enjoy helping Jowan.
