Well, I have got to Chapter 5 in the main quest, where you have to save the old guy from getting attacked by the baddies. Problem is, I killed them all and he is still sitting there saying "help me". And since this is a main quest, it will not let me procede until the guy thinks all the baddies are dead. (he is just sitting there asking for help and healing himself, it is kind of funny) I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make a part of a quest complete, without corrupting my save game or anything. I don't want to start over, because I am not sure if it will do it again. Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Just save the game (CRTL + S) and exit. Reload by selecting 'Continue' on the Main Menu. Warp to the last Portal and fight your way back to the plague victims camp.

P.S. the 2.20 patch fixes a lot of bugs without ruining your saves.

Yeah, I tried that. And I just got done installing the patch. While it didn't erase my save game, I can no longer load it. I have tried messing around with the prefs.gas and the .ini file in the My Documents folder, but to no avail. It is looking more and more like I am going to have to start over. sigh.

Thanks for the response.

Also, do you play BF2 under the same name? Sometimes frequenting the Masters of War server? If so, you are really good, you were killing my brother and I a lot on the Gulf of Oman map the other day...

[Blinks] What a small world. I play as HighCalibreHooch in BF2 - a sincere thanks for noticing! Perhaps I'm listed in your stats as your 'Nemesis' hehehehe. What's your BF2 handle?

I should play there more often since my other favorite server seems to have a Karland/Wake Island/Karkland/WakeIsland fetish.

Sorry to hear about your DS2 weirdness. IIRC I installed the 2.1 and then the 2.2 patches without fuss. I suppose it's possible the save file is broken beacuse it contains data on the buggy situation at the camp, which was probably now fixed in the game engine.

Heh, it is Nate_32. And when I am playing with my clan, we use the prefix [afk]. (Yes it does stand for away from keyboard, kind of a gag). I am not sure what to do about DS2, I was really enjoying it, but this frustration means I won't be playing it for a while. I wish I was in the position I was in for the first game. We had a huge LAN party at my dad's house, and I played that game for at least 12-14 hours straight. Next night went over to my friends and did it all over again. We were fighting those mean ass skeleton guys in no time...

Well, post-patch I have been playing about 5 hours straight and got back to the point I was at before, the guy was grateful that I saved him. So I guess it works. :)

And, Hooch if you have XFire, my name is nate_32 on there as well, feel free to add me to your friends list. I like to play in squads with good people, especially when they use VoIP, although I am not that great myself. Teamwork really means a lot in that game. I sometimes play on a Honda-Tech server, they always get on the same team. It can be brutal because they play good team game, and usually the team I am on does not do as well, but I like a challenge.

No sweat, I don't have Xfire but I'll add the Honda tech serv to my favs if I can get a decent ping from it.
