 Greetings. Sorry to bother everyone with yet another Lothander quest issue, but I seem to have a bit of a unique problem. I have found a few solutions for if you kill Marek or Lothander, but my issue is a bit different. I have initially contacted Lothander and Marek, my character is poisoned but Lothander does not appear in the Market in the center of Baldur's Gate.

To back up and further describe the problem, I have the 5 disc version of Baldur's Gate, originally purchased in 2001. I have updated to the latest version using the patches from this website: http://www.sorcerers...ndex_misc.php  

My current saves have survived several OS versions and reinstalls via the method of copying the Baldur's Gate\\save folder.  They originated on a WinXP 32-bit install, copied to another machine with WinXP 32-bit, Copied to another machine with Vista x64 (where Baldur's Gate didn't work), and then have been copied to the same machine with Windows 7 x64 where they started working again. I have ensured that my current user is the owner of all of the save game files, and I have played from before the Cloakwood Mines portion all the way in to Baldur's Gate without problems.


So, without enabling cheats, I have done the following:
1. Verified I have met Lothander and Marek.  I have an entry in my journal that they warned me to stop investigating the Iron Throne.
2. Verified that I am poisoned. When resting, I get the message about throwing up my previous meal. The only odd thing is this message appears for a random member of my party, not just my main character.
3. I revisit the area where you first meet them, NE section of Baldur's Gate (AR0300). This area is divided in half by a wall, so I visit each side.  Lothander and Marek are not on either side.
4. Went to the Market in the center of Baldur's Gate (AR0700).  Lothander is nowhere to be seen.
5. Visited the Diviner in the Market.  The Diviner does not seem to know about Lothander and his Geas. Lothander is not outside of his tent.
6. Visited the Blade and Stars. Lothander is not here.
7. Visited the Blushing Mermaid. Marek is not here.
8. Went to the Lady's House. No response to the current quest.
9. Went to the docks area of Baldur's Gate (AR1200) and visited the Temple of Umberlee. Nobody here knows of Lothander's Geas.

Following the steps outlined on this forum post: 
http://social.biowar...-5146695-1.html :
1. I enabled cheats and manually spawned Lothander in the Blade and Stars inn using the command: 
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("Lothan") 
2. When doing this, he responds with "you have asked the wrong question!"
3. I then visit the diviner, who still doesn't say anything about Lothander and his Geas.
4. I revisit Lothander, and he still says the same thing "you have asked the wrong question!".

I am out of ideas of what to do at this point.  I have older saves from before I enter Baldur's Gate, but I have completed several areas of Baldur's Gate already including the Thieves' Guild and played ~10 hours so I would rather not redo them. If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

A possible solution would be to reset the appropriate global variables in Shadowkeeper. I don't have any saves from single player games after this point, but a quick look at a multi-player BGT save from TOB suggests the following might be relevant:
- Lothandermove
- Marekmove
- Poisonparty
- Poisonparty2

Have a look down your global variables for any others that might be relevant - in particular if you have entries for Sprite_is_dead for Marek or Lothander.

Try resetting all those to 0 and with luck Lothander and Marek will now appear at their standard location when you visit the North-east area of the city and you can run through the quest line as normal.

Thanks, this put me on the right track. Apparently, I had killed Lothander (SPRITE_IS_DEADLOTHANDER=1) before hearing about his geas but after getting poisoned. I had to play around a bit with the variables listed, but setting his SPRITE_IS_DEAD to 0, and then setting the LothanderMove variable to 3, I met him at the market area and could complete the quest normally.

Funnily though, zeroing the PoisonParty/PoisonParty2 variables instantly killed my entire party when I loaded the modified save. Ignoring these and changing the other things got everything working correctly. Thank you very much!
