I currently have the recommended mod packs installed (official patch 2, Co8 fanfix 3.04 & mobieus2778). I have gotten to the battle with Hedrack and round a few bugs. 1. Hedrack wanders erratically never choosing a target. 2. Bugbears (all through the game) seem to target Meleny with extreme predujice. 3. NPC encounters that would otherwise parlay automatically attack if Meleny is with the party. I have tested this on the Hedrack encounter and the encounter with his concubines. I'm not sure this applies to any other encounters, but I do know if I don't enter the room with Meleny, they won't attack, if I do enter the room with here, they attack. 4. Paida was back on dungeon level four after I had rescued her and escorted her back home (????). I took the quickest route down there and get her out so I could get Valden's shields. Then I didn't return to level four until I had cleaned out level two and three. When I did, Paida was in the concubine room again............................ 5. Animal companions don't seem to gain hit points as other new abilities as their druid or ranger companion gain levels. I can say that they definitely did when I was just running the game with patch 1 & 2. 6. Also, animal companions only gain 1 hp when the party rests while other party members gain hp according the the clerics level. This is also definitely caused by either the fan fixes or moebius patch as I didn't have that problem before when I was playing with just patch 1 & 2. 7?. I don't know if this is associated with either of these patches or mods, but there doesn't seem to be any use for Alrrem's key. Can't find his chest, the one in the fire temple need a knock spell even after I had already killed Allrem and taken his key. That's all I can think of now, I am pleased with some of the new items and crafting options, I am also pleased that several spells, scrolls and wands work now (I hated when acid splash and ray of frost didn't work). The generally smoother gameplay is a real treat, thanx for all of your efforts guys. My party is 10th level now, I look forward to seeing what will happen with level 11 and 12 now. Thanx again.
I believe Alrrem's chest is outside his room, in the larger room with Antonio and that half-orc priest.
