This is a werid bug wherein I cannot start a new game of SoA with Ascension installed (or without Ascension installed). I get the opening, irenicus - torture in game cutscene, but imoen does not open the door to my PCs cell. She does not appear at all. Also, looking i see that jahiera is not in her cage, and thus has not spawned. I did a bit of mucking about with mods prior which could have lead to this problem, though i know not how.
Ok so I had recently uninstalled BG1 tutu and then uninstalled bgII and ToB. I then RE installed bgII proper and, without patching, tried to run the game and found the problem as described above. I then installed TOB and had the same problem. Installed the latest patch and had the same problem. I thien installed ascension, turnabout and redemption and had the same problem.
Why isnt imoen spawning? i cant get control until she initiates dialog!
