I am playing as a Dark elf evil path and I killed gilbert bates, now when I talk to teach after going to BMC he asks me if I heard anything about bates murder, my char simply responds with I must be going. Any one have experienced this issue before ?
I was about to tell you that if you're somehow modded your game to enable playing as a dark elf, you're almost certain to be missing out on dialogue. But maybe the new UAP have made some changes in that regard? If so, I can't help you, and I don't know if the handful of people who are around here have played Arcanum in the last few years, and if so they will probably not be able to help you with issues related to the recent patches. But I'm mostly speaking for myself. Anyway, I'm guessing that Drog would be interested in bug reports, so maybe take it up with him?
Uuuuuh... did you read Bates' journal? You probably did, since you made it to the BMC mines and all, but I think that's one of the things you need to do.
This same topic was revisited late last year, so this thread might help: https://terra-arcanum.com/forums/index.php?threads/i-cant-travel-to-the-isle-of-despair.23156/ EDIT: If it is from the UAP playing a previously inaccessible race as Ruda suggested, Drog has fixed this in his newest version: https://www.reddit.com/r/arcanum/comments/h0yww6/drog_uap_202_released/
