What mods? Patch?

Sounds like it could be a problem with Unfinished Business and something else.

That sounds like the thing where Boo goes missing from Unfinished business. There was a topic about it last week.

Here is the topic: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/2/7305.html

Not much direct and clear help in there, but maybe it'll point you in the right direction.

You need to apply the patch (and Baldurdash's fixpack, if you use it) BEFORE any mods, so that is likely your problem. However, are you sure you don't have Unfinished Business? Because the 10 strength thing sure sounds like UB.

Anyway, you will definitely have to uninstall/reinstall something, but I'm not really sure whether it's the mods, patch, or both, or what the order should be. Best to wait for someone else who knows what they're talking about to come along. :xx:

Just reinstall the mod. Might help.

If you want to do it blindly though, Minsc's STR is supposed to go down to 10. He's lost his hamster buddy Boo. Go to the docks and wander around near the Sea's Bounty. Minsc will yell at some kid -> kid'll run into the tavern. After all that's done, he'll take you someplace. After THAT go to the Government District and down by the fountain near Keldorn's crib. Some chick will be by the pool. Talk to her, etc.

I wouldn't recommend doing it blind though, since there alot of sensitive dialogue in there.

Yep, that sort of bug sounds like an install order issue. :)

Uninstall mods, then to be safe I'd reinstall the patch, *then* the mods.
