As the subjekt said, it doesn't want to talk to me. It sais Psuedo Dragon doesn't want to talk to you. Maybe it's because i have a fighter and used the "everyone can cast spells" tric... It's REALLY hard to keep him alive against a fireball using mages...

is your PC in the first position in the party?

It may be because you aren't the correct class or the trick has something to do with it.

as to fireballs, why not keep your familliar as far away as possible?

I found out the hard way not to leave familiars behind, so try to remember the little fella

I don't think the PC's position in the line-up nor the class have an affect, but alignment does (that's what determines what familiar you get to begin with). Have you done something that might alter that... like maybe take an evil path when you had your tests in the Abyss?

And for goodness sakes, keep the little fella away from fireballs! They are resistant to lots of things, but they're not invulnerable.

It was only because I hadn't downloaded the patch, I did that and now he's safely stored in my back-pack
