Ascalon's Questpack: Discussion and Bug Report Thread

[Quester]

Hi, just wanted to note that the cave where you can find the ogre and the rabbit is also used by the Shadow Magic mod as a hideout for one of the Shadow mages.

[jastey]

Thanks for reporting!

Ascalon's Questpack is from 2008, Shadow Magic mod from ~2017(?), so

Is there an inherent conflict if Ascalon's Quest Pack and Shadow Magic are used simultaneously?  Is it just an oddity?

No technical conflict, no. They both function as intended. It's just a little weird to have them spawn next to each other.

Hello, with last version (4.3), during the Serpents of Abbathor quest, the party must save two guys in a tavern in northwest BG. They are already dead, and if I remember right the two foes there should carry a key to a warehouse, but I tried a few times with reload but there is no key left. Is there another way to obtain this key ?

I noticed that in the Friendly Arm Inn, when first meeting Ignatius, he says that he has "localized" instead of 'located' the book at Ulster.

[Endarire]

Is this a problem?  Localization is a form of translation.

To localize is being translated to be a synonym for to locate. At least that's what LEO says.

[Graion Dilach]

Oxford also lists that it can be used in this meaning.

[jastey]

Frankly, it's the meaning I had in mind when I read about localizations of a game / BG. I was like "what? Did they lose their copy or what?"

[jastey]

(If this leads to misunderstandings with native speakers I can change it easily enough.)

[mickabouille]

Not sure, probably _because_ I am _not_ a native speaker, localize/localization seems odd to me with this meaning (finding the location), for which I'd use "locate" or rather "find" (because basic english).

But I'm a developer, so localization have a specific (jargon-ish) meaning for me anyway.

[Endarire]

Even if it's technically correct, it's more confusing than helpful.

[zelazko]

I am not sure if this is the right mod to post a suggestion.

No idea who that is. Not from this mod.

EDIT: Updating here your findings that this is an original game encounter not only Discord would have been nice.
