Ah okay, thanks Skull. Glad to know it's just me, and not everyone.

I can't get rid of Nigel, he won't do anything like what he's supposed to do for his quest... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I think he knows I don't like him... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

I've been taking him on all the boarding parties and given him an excellent Windmill Slayer sword, tho... I'm going to dig into the code to see if there's some kind of trigger I've missed... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />

Ok, I dont know if this has been fixed or not but I find that I get locked into the Pirate Island after hiring that one...guy after fighting Nigel I believe. Any reason?

Hummm, this used to happen before - but I thought it was fixed... AND I've hired Nigel these last few times I've playtested that quest - I'll run it hiring Artois and see if I get the same bug...
 
My problem's been with the "`escape-from`-`Oxbay-with`-`two-Frenchies`-`in-their`-Corvette" quest in the main thread. It's become too dang'd hard! My ship loses more than half its crew from fortress gunfire before it can even get moving, and then as I try and run away (x10 speed), all those French and Pirate ships are able to keep on my tail, so I pretty much hafta fend them off without dying myself. I'm lucky I'm still stuck on accidental immortal mode. And this used to be one of the easiest things to do, so it would seem there've been ship stat changes or something in B11.99 that increase the difficulty insanely.

So I tried a few things, to get around this. I snuck off the island via Greenford, but that left the quest unfinished and so the two Frenchies were still on the island and that guv'r wasn't about to give me any praise for it. So I thought, heck, I'll come back with a handful of `Men-o`-War and blast the snot out of the fort.

So I did.

Singlehandedly recaptured Oxbay from the French loons. I shoulda earned a medal. And I'd destroyed so many of their soldiers while bombing the fort, I only had to hack through the one man left guarding it, and the whole town was mine.

But... as soon as I set foot on the island, something was wrong. Very wrong. I couldn't move! Couldn't take a step forward or back, and I couldn't `quick-travel` anywhere. I could only sidestep, and sort of swim when the water was deep enough, but couldn't actually step forward. I decided it was a glitch from not properly doing the quest, so I loaded an old save and suffered the slings and arrows. Worst part was thereby losing my three captured `Man-o`-Wars... (I'm really digging these new ship skins, by the way).
 
<!--`QuoteBegin-alan_smithee`+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(alan_smithee)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Singlehandedly recaptured Oxbay from the French loons.[/quote]WhooHOO! I've done that too, it's a blast! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Unfortunately, yes, if you do that, you can't do anything else as it breaks the main quest. Heh. But I know what fun that can be, routing out the French. I know this does nothing to solve your problem, but WTG! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Actually the quest *may* be fixed now with the release of Build 12 - there was an UBERSchooner that traveled about five times faster than the normal schooner - a typo did that - so perhaps now the stats are normalized so you will be able to try escaping again without worry.

<b>Cap'n Archibald McNil, </b>as far as the Nigel or Artois quest is concerned, I have been able to run it with Artois, and not get that lockup. It may be that there's something else that's causing the conflict - could you please tell me what other quests are "live" at the same time as this one?
 
It helps if de wind be in yer favor,if not,kiss yer carcas gbye <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
