View Full Version : Too many Terl?
Sarteck Tue, 23rd May '06, 4:30am Okay, I've got a problem... This is my first playthrough of BG2:SoA and ToB. I've only installed one modification, Unfinished Business.
Anyways, I'm having a problem with too many of a certain NPC named "Terl" being spawned into the game. So many, in fact, that it's hard to move around:

I have no idea how it happened, nor how to fix it. I haven't even seen it posted about at any forums, so I am unsure if this is a bug specific to me only or not.
Any advice would be welcome. Heh.
Die_Bad_Guys Wed, 24th May '06, 2:50am Wow. Havent seen this one before. The only npc-cloning bugs I've seen are Minister Lloyd (once, for no apparent reason) and Brus. Brus happens every game though, so I dont worry about it.
Who is Terl anyway?
Felinoid Wed, 24th May '06, 3:16am Terl is the guy who comes to get you for Anomen's family quest, part of the vanilla game. Why (or even how) UB would do this, I have no idea. You might be better off asking over at the mod's forum.
Drew Wed, 24th May '06, 7:08am I don't think there's any way UB would cause this. It's probably some obscure engine bug or possibly a remnant of a previously installed mod.
TrueBlueAussie Wed, 24th May '06, 8:08am i would just re-install the mod and check to see if it happens again. I had the same problem that Die_Bad_Guys had with the Minister Lloyd cloning. Personally, i would try hard to find a way to move and finish the quest and see if the problem stops (and if you get multi lots of XP and Gold/items. Always good :) )
Renma Wed, 24th May '06, 1:48pm hum.. it happened to me with High Watcher Oisig (unseeing eye quest, the helmite) in my last play through
it would crash my game if i tried to talk to more than one of them, so i just ctrl+y'ed all except one since they were blocking the exit
kuemper Wed, 24th May '06, 4:43pm The other time I've seen something like this was with BG and one of the guys at the Nashkel carnival. Apparently, the programmers just copy+pasted the NPC several times in the game, so many of him could show up at once.
Silverstar Wed, 24th May '06, 8:31pm Hmm I had a similar problem, that mage who comes to take Drizzt loot (Harpel) spawned hostile and kept spawning even when I killed all of them, they were infinite amount and had nasty mage spells like contingencies with 3 ABDHWs, and Imprisonments etc, I just dropped Drizzt loot and ran as fast as I could from a horde of Harpels!
But alas, I have so many mods it is possible. I am at a loss how can UB cause your bug- however, best way is dropping Anomen, if there is no cause, no buggy spawnings, right? :shake:
Felinoid Wed, 24th May '06, 10:00pm Actually, Harpel respawning is a common bug, fixed by Baldurdash.
Gregor Thu, 25th May '06, 12:30am It's happened to me with Delon, as well, in an unmodded game. I don't think UB is the cause...it's probably just a fluke of the game engine.
