Torn

And doesn't he get fully repaired at the Leviathan anyway?

I meant that I've tried creating a character and starting a game a number of times. I haven't yet got it to work... :/

I have the latest patch, so I don't think that's it. I tried disabling movies; are there some that play anyway? I could always try and put my screen in a lower resolution... hmm.

thanks guys, all help is appreciated

And you can always not install that component if you want Minsc and Jaheira.  Ideally, the MftW will fit seamlessly with a normal install of the game, so you don't have to choose whether you're gonna have an evil PC before you install it.

Really, you should just have a stickied help thread for this quest Dorotea . It seems like half the threads in this forum are from people trying to figure out the Deva quest.

The basic idea with having Montaron and Kirinhale was to vary up who you start the game off with.  Jaheira and Minsc are supposed to reflect the people you would've been adventuring with in BG1, but of course, I doubt an evil party would have had them in it.  Therefore, Monty and Kirinhale.

We could always make the option to install them seperate from the rest of the MftW.  Either that, or we could have different options - say, one for 'start with Monty and Kirinhale' and another for 'start with NPCs with appropriate alignments'.
