Help! Plot stuck w/dumb character!

I'm at the part where you are in the basement of p.scyler and sons and I am playing a char with 4 intelligence.

It has been a while, but I think after you kill the necromancers and get their note in the file cabinet, then you can go to Bates, right? Well, I get the note but nothing happens. My guy won't ask the bates guard to let him in, and virgil doesn't seem to care that I have the note either, when I ask him what we should do next he STILL says we should go to find who p. scyler is. So, the plot is stuck............argh HELP ME!

Hmm.... this is a good one. It's been a while but did you kill everyone including the guy who first greets you in the shop? I think he has to either be killed by you or by the necros for the script to continue. But if worse comes to worse you can always got to Bate's rival and take the quest to sneek in and talk/kill him. Their is a secret way into Bate's house in the cemetary :nod: I hope that helps....

 

Make sure you actually right click and read the note. Then your quest log should be updated and the plot should move on to Gilbert Bates.

 

Hmm, I couldn't read anything with right-click, but your suggestion prompted me to try other methods. If you put the note in your "quick items" slot, you can use it and that makes you read it. Now I can read it and my other notes. The plot did advance after I read it btw. Well, thanks! On to the rest of the game

You can use items by dragging them over the hand icon in the inventory screen. It's just below the dice (gambling).

 

Rather odd that right-clicking doesn't work for you...

?

 

The patch added certan right click functions. Perhaps that is one.

 

GOOD ONE! and welcome to you both to our happy little corner of the world

Man why didn't I think of that!!! onder:
