Hi; I seem to have found a small bug in Torment. After finishing the Alley of Lingering Sighs, I quickly exited the Lower Ward so that I could get rid of Morte's stuff at the Gathering Dust Bar. The problem is that, the
wererats now won't abduct Morte. Do you know of anyone who would know of a
way around this bug?

No.

Besides, the point of avoiding it seems obsolete - once kidnapped, Morte drops all stuff on the ground.

Try talking to Lothar, maybe it will have a kickstart effect on the game and morte will act like he has been kidnapped, this theory has been kinda proven by another topic going at the minute.
Try it, you might be surprised.

Thanks for replying. I've already tried to talk to Lothar, and nothing happened. I even tried to attck the wererats; the kept regenerating until one ran away. I guess I'll try talking to Lothar again.
