greyhawk80 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Ran into something odd yesterday. Played through the Vampire Cure quest all the way to its conclusion, consumed my share of the cure and exited Castle Skingrad. I open the menu and see that my Strength and Wisdom attributes still have Vampire buffs. I double check the active effects and sure enough, the only attribute buffs shown is the +6 Wisdom from my Mage's Guild Apprentice Robe. Thinking there was some sort of glitch, I removed the robe and used the UOP 3.2 stat fixer function. That put my attributes back to their proper values, so I went on and started on an Oblivion Gate. About 15 minutes later, I open the menu and notice that my Strength and Wisdom had decreased dramatically. Here is a break down: Vamp Stats: Strength = 96; Wisdom = 99 Stats post quest and stat fixing: Strength = 91; Wisdom = 89 Stats 15 minutes later: Strength = 75; Wisdom = 75 Fortunatly, I made a clean save before I set out to contract Vampirism. I lost 3 hours of play and am now afraid to try it again. Is this a one-off glitch, some kind of interaction between the quest and UOP 3.2, or something completely different? What concerns me is that the Vampire buffs to my attributes didn't immediately vanish after drinking the cure. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCooper2006 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Im not sure, didnt have that exact problem. Altho my stats seem to go where they want, i just ignore it. I went to jail for a bounty of about 25 gold, came out... and my "largest bounty" was about... -2124212313101 (the numbers went off the screen) things like this i just cant be arsed to fix as it doesnt really impact the game, and it impossible to pinpoint out of 200+ mods...... sorry this doesnt help but, im sure if you have a lot of mods you will encounter a few similar problems!

greyhawk80 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I attempted the quest again with similar results. I did notice something new that I overlooked earlier. When I went from 25% Vampirism to 50% and back again, the stat bonuses to my Strength and Willpower stayed at their 50% level. Furthermore, those two bonuses were shown as + to attribute on my attribute screen (Vampire bonuses aren't implemented like that). So, new theory: After fluxing between 25% and full Vampirism over the course of the quest, my Strength and Willpower stats got stuck with full bonuses that were not removed by the Cure Potion because some other mod affected how they were implemented. When I used UOP 3.2's stat fixer, it removed the bonuses, and the Vamp Cure script subtracted the bonuses again...somehow. The only mod I can think of that would trigger this would be the Race Balancing Project. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmagnet Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 How about contactng the author of RBP, BG2408? He's over at the official forums quite a lot and from my experience a helpfull guy. Also I'd guess he'd lke to know if there's a glitch with his bug and such a relatively important quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhawk80 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Well, I after a bit of trial and error, I figured a few more things out. Firstly, the Race Balancing Project isn't the cause. Disabling it had no effect. Secondly, the glitch seems to only manifest in attributes that Vampirism buffs over 95. I'll give an example. The attribute screen displays my normal stats as STR 91, WIL 89, & SPD 65. At 25% Vampirism, the attribute screen reads STR 96(+1), WIL 94, & SPD 70. At 50% Vampirism, the screen reads STR 101(+6), WIL 99(+4), & SPD 75. Notice that WIL & SPD displayed just as they should at 25% Vamp & WIL glitched when it went over 95. The glitch is that when I feed to go back to 25% Vamp, those (+X) buffs remain applied, even as the normally displayed attributes revert. The (+X) buffs also stack, so when I go from 50% to 25% back to 50%, the stats will read STR 107(+12), WIL 105(+10), SPD 75. I honestly don't have the time to debug this fully, so I'm moving on. On a positive note, though, I did devise a work around. Prior to contracting Vampirism, I used the console to lower my STR & WIL by 15 points (modpca). With my lower stats, becoming a 50% Vampire didn't trigger the persistent (+X) buffs. I completed the Cure quest, drank the potion, then used the console to restore my STR & WIL to their normal values. Quest done and all is green. Just wanted to make sure that everyone knew BG2408's spectacular mod wasn't the cause of my problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
