Just being curious...
I play The Big Picture + BGT much to my satisfaction up till now but when I visited Baldur's Gate, the Duchal Palace area, I noticed that while holding down TAB, there appears to be a door in the roof of the Duchal Palace. Or at least that's where the pink outline appears. Somehow I managed to open it by clicking on it (I think I held the CTRL + TAB keys down when I clicked but I am not sure) and then the "Enter door" pointer appeared. Then when I clicked to make my party enter that "door" they start to move and wander about but never get there. Transporting the party (with CTRL+J) only places them behind the palace and that is not the place where the "door" appears to be.
Trying to find the door from inside the Duchal Palace has had no success for me...
So... Anybody knows the answer to this riddle?  :huh:

I love murder mysteries! (This one just lacks a corps.)

It's not a door. It doesn't highlight, for instance, when you initialize cheats and then CTRL-4. From the x-y coordinates, it seems to be a Closed Vertex - whatever that is - for Dor01081 to the ducal palace. Just got misplaced somehow. It exists at the same location in BG1 but I don't know if it would change the cursor there

Not really important but I can confirm that it is indeed the "Closed Vertex - whatever that is - for Dor01081 to the ducal palace"... Yesterday I returned to Baldurs Gate having completed the TOTSC part and I couldn't get in the palace at first. Clicking on the "door in the roof" opened up the gate (also changing the graphic from a closed gate to an open gate) and I could then enter the palace again.
