This is not really a bug but...
When Jacc had his first perma death I was far from him and i didn't realize what had happened bacause all i saw was the camera suddently loooking at me from directly above and then slowly sliding down. Iwas simply to far away from jacc to see him or the demon. I first saw he demon as he logged in againand i was standing next to him. I don't know if anything can be done so all party member can see the death scene if they are in normal range of sight.

When i craft i like to craft with some sort of purpose and not just to get better and throw the things i craft away. So in order to have a pupose it would be nice if one could go to a war effort collection ask them what is needed and produce that for them similarly to the earlier quest in the craft houses only that these don't give exp nor gold just safety for the communety  . Or it could just be another pawnbroker instead this one wouldn't give you ridicules amounts of gold but thanks instead. But in any case the efforts should be registered somewhere have an impact on the war effort perhaps. Just some thoughts.

I don't know if it is a bug but...
When i fight orgres the shamans often use "cone of cold", and according to the NWN description the spell should damage everyone in its path, but all ogres seem to be unaffected by it. Is this a spell change or something?

Since the lence gives so many strange prices, and it would be a huge job to alter them, wouldn't it be a good idea just to remove it and have an official pricing guide on the forums...
That way unballanced prices could be altered without having to make any chages to the code.
Just a thought

I have tried to scan the forums and the manual for information on the faiths but I just can't seem to find answers to my qestions. Here it goes:
1. Are there any myths about the godly world. e.g. which one/ones of them created the world and how, how did Grannoch creat the giants and why, why are some of the gods enemies etc.
2. Is it okay to sacrifice to the gods, not dwarfs, human etc. but food and stuff.
3. Is the godly world a true polytheism, in the sence that if you go to war you pray/sacrifice to a war god and if you are about to sail somewhere you would pray/sacrifice to a sea god.

Instead of the current stable system where all items must be taken of the oxes before the are stabled, I would suggest that the stable is just a big building where oxes can be tied down. This would give people a safe place to put their oxes when they are unable to empty the bags, and hopefully it would remove all the oxes from the craft halls, smithys etc.

In my opinion it would really be nice if half-giants had some equipment that could be customized besides their weapons. As it is right now all of them/us look similar which is a bit of a shame. Even a shield would do…
I don’t know if it is can be done within a reasonable amount of time or if it is possible at all, but it was just something I would like to see myself.

I have found this emerald in the red goblin mine, normally i give all my minerals to Geir but he is not able to cut it. So I am looking for someone willing to buy it. It will be sold to the highest bidder a week from now.

I have found a few iron weapons in my travels and have been able to forge a Bronze full plate for myself. Since I have no use of my old armor and of these new iron weapons I'm willing to sell it all for a low price.

As far as I understand the xp-system, you get 100 % of the creatures xp-rating if you are out on your own, whereas you get 50 % if you are in a group.
Since killing a beast becomes much easier the larger the group is, it seems a bit odd to get the same amount of xp no matter how big the group is. If it is
assumed that rate at which you can kill beasts is directly proportional to the size of the group. A party member will earn xp twice as fast in a group of four
and four times as fast in a group of eight and so on. Thus the xp-system favors large groups over small ones and thereby Berhagen hunting parties.
Since RP isn't favored by large groups over small ones I can see no obvious reason to punish players making small parties. I was wondering if this xp-system
is a NWN/bioware feature (flaw) or if there where some deeper philosophical considerations behind it.

*A small book in skunk fur binding. The tail is used as a strap that can wrapped around the book and secured with a clasp on the front. The handwriting in the book is crude and sometimes almost illegible. In certain places the writing is illuminated as if the writer finds these bits of text particularly important.*
Cursed!
I had been sleeping outside Hlint this night and was awakened by a skunk searching through my bags. The damn animal was clearly looking for food and in the process it was destroying my journal. I got angry and shouted at the beast, which of course made everything worse or smellier at least. This made me even angrier and I grasped the skunk with my right hand and choked it. After coming to my senses I skinned the skunk and decided to bind my next journal with it, this seemed to be a proper punishment and it might help me remember not to put my journal and my food in the same bag. After completing my new journal I had a look at the old one and found that it smelled worse than a whorehouse and that there where no way that I could keep it. Thus I have decided to rewrite the parts that seems most important to my current situation in this new journal.
The first weeks:
After fleeing from Krashin, Geir and I ended up in Hlint, where we found different tasks to do in order to earn gold. We were able to kill all undead in the crypts below just the two of us. This was a though task and the cursed creatures made me feel so sick I had to rest afterwards to regain my strength. I had tried to clear out the crypts myself but found that despite all my strength I was unable to do it, but when we worked together the task seemed much easier. Even Geir’s old songs seems to help me in my efforts, however, I was hoping that he would learn new songs soon.
A man named Johan approached me and asked me to help him get some furs for some stupid reason. It seemed to me that he just couldn’t admit the fact he didn’t dare to go out and get the furs himself. I took the task because I felt sorry for the wimp and I could use the gold he offered. It turned out that I was right; he later gave the same excuse to Geir when he asked him to do exactly the same. Hah, he couldn’t even think of a new excuse.
*Skarp-Heiden smiles, while he wonders about the importance of this small task on later events.*
A few weeks later:
Geir is really happy here, more people seem to understand his poetry than back home, and it seems as if he makes a new poem each day. He has made two really good ones, one of them is about a paladin and Geir and the other one is an ode to axes. I believe that he was inspired by my grand example when he wrote the last one. I’m really happy for him, but all this reciting of poems has made me experiment with earplugs, the best result I had when I just stuffed some pieces of cotton into my ears. Besides that he seems too fascinated with practically all females he meet, even one who called herself “Witchblade”, doesn’t it say it all… Why does he always fall for girls with danger written all over them? Somehow it makes me sad that he has forgotten his girlfriend back home so quickly, it makes him seem so shallow. Ah well he is practically just a kid, maybe I’m being too hard on him it might be his way of dealing with all of this. I know Gro would give me a hard time if she heard me saying a thing like that.
A week later
Ah the funniest thing happened today; Geir came to Brant and myself, and claimed to have chased an ogre away. The story was that the ogre had chased him for some time and when Geir was fed up with all this running he turned to attack the ogre but it disappeared in this instant. I’m quit sure that he had been running for so long that the ogre got tired of following him or lost track of him, Brant seemed to be doubting the story as well. Geir is however of the impression that the ogre got so scared when he turned around that it fled. And now he has bought a two-handed sword, it certainly looks funny when he wields it or it wields him, depending on the viewer I guess. He has been calling himself a “warrior poet” after that incident, and it has been really hard to keep a straight face.
*Skarp-Heiden notices a piece a paper that has fallen out of the journal, it is torn and hard to read but after a while he lights up and starts writing again.*
Some of us had been out on a quest to behead the leader of the lizardmen. Everything went fine until we had to go down to the lower floors. A ranger named Path was scouting for us he had gone ahead and came back reporting a single lizardman in the room below the stairs, an easy task it seemed and so it was even though four lizardmen where there instead of the one he had reported. This should have warned us, but we believed him when he reported that one or two lizardmen were guarding the leader. We made a plan and tried to follow it but at least ten lizardmen where guarding him, our ranks naturally fell apart when they attacked and we lost the battle. Afterwards Path blamed the rest of us for the lost battle saying that we didn’t hold our ranks, somehow completely forgetting his part in our failure. I must remember not to put to much faith into his scouting abilities.
Two weeks later:
I had almost completed the task for Johan and I only needed to get some brown bear skins for him. Fortunately Geir knew where these bears could be found so we went there and started hunting them. Then I had the strangest experience, I killed the first bear and just as it died I became so dizzy that I had to lean onto my axe. I thought that I had been eating something bad and that had made me feel woozy, thus I pulled myself together and quickly attacked the next bear in sight. This time when I killed the bear I had a complete blackout, and I have no idea whether it was I or Geir who skinned the two bears afterwards or how we got back. But when we got back to Hlint I had the two bear skins and gave them to Johan and got my reward.
The following days I had this strange feeling and I can’t really recall what I did in that time, until I spoke with a priest who called himself Father Logan. I asked him how many children he had since he called himself father. None, he said, but then he said something about everyone being his children. I had never heard anything that idiotic, but then again most priest to my experience have some strange ideas, talking about good, evil, right, wrong, etc. etc. to me it all boils down to the same someone be it a man or a god wants power and takes advantage of naïve people in order to get it. Even though his crazy speeches annoyed me I gave it a rest since I hoped he could help me. I told him about my experiences with the bears and asked him if he knew why I had felt like this. He said that he didn’t know too much about the subject but suggested that the bear could be some kind of totem animal to me. This triggered my memory and I quickly excused myself. Now I suddenly remembered why I had never killed a bear before, father had told me not to and I had never questioned his motives. There could be some link between not killing bears and the fact that bears was the totem animal for the famous bear warriors I had heard so much about as a child. I knew that my father wasn’t a bear warrior himself, he would have told me or at least used the power under the attack at the feast where he died. So why had he forbidden me to kill them.
A few nights ago:
This night I had the strangest dream, a completely grey bear came to me it was larger and more massive than any bear I had ever seen. Yet it seemed friendly and I felt that it wanted to communicate with me. As the bear approached me I saw that it had a large scar on the left side of its head down over the eye socket where the eye was missing. The right eye was completely blue and kept on looking at me as if the bear expected me to recognize it. I had seen this eye, the scar and this hairy face before but where, the bear seemed saddened by the fact that I didn’t recognize it. It turned and started walking away, I tried to follow but even though I was running and the bear was just walking slowly the distance to it grew. I started yelling after it. At this point I woke up due to my own yelling. Then I realized that the bear was my grandfather, if he had been a bear warrior that would explain why father had always forbidden me to hunt bears. I can hardly remember my grandfather he died when I was little but I know from all my fathers’ tales that he was a great warrior. This could be really important if I can become a bear warrior like my kinsmen I could really be a help in our efforts to revenge our family. I must remember to speak to Geir about all of this he might know what to do.
*Skarp-Hiden lights up as he throws the old journal on to the fire, he knows that he has only copied a small fraction of it but it must suffice. He looks at the burning book while he mumbles “I don’t think I have ever been writing so much on a single day before.” He gets up and decides to find a pond where he can was the smell of the skunk away.*
