Some more info.
Uninstalled those three Mike Barnes additions to Tactics: the STP and North Forest changes, and also some other change that i can't remember. the thing that was after the STP and NF parts. anyway.
Entered STP successfully. Fought some minor creeps.
Entered NF successfully. Fought against a vampire. Imoen got dire charmed and promptly got ripped to shreds by Korgy. Nice.
Anyway, the tactics mod seems to be the culprit. Not sure what to do.. Unless someone can come up with something I guess i'll just leave these parts uninstalled. No extra dragon scales for me
BTW great mod, really tested me. Although Kangaxx is cheesy as fuck in demi lich form =D Had to abuse Pro-UD scrolls on half my party in order to avoid getting pwned by machine gun imprisonment casting.
