Hey all, I've encountered an extremely frustrating bug near the end of the game that's preventing me from getting any further. I'm actually playing the Steam version, but I figured I'd post about it here as well to increase my chances of getting some help. Here's what's happening:

I'm in Chapter 6, at the temple in Dirge. I'm playing a female character, mostly-but-not-completely Closed Fist, pursuing a romance with Sky. He's waiting outside the tent for me, so I talk to him, then head back to the tent to get some sleep before the big battle...but when I try to enter the tent, the conversation with Sky repeats, and I can't progress.

I only ever get two options in the conversation: "You seemed less surprised than the others when I stepped through" and "Why were you so sure I'd be coming back?" No matter which one I pick, Sky says the same thing, referring to a previous conversation in which I'd told him I wanted to learn more about the Spirit Monks. Then the conversation ends (rather abruptly, it seems) and I'm free to wander around and do whatever, but I can't go through the gate to the next area, and talking to Sky or trying to enter the tent just triggers the same conversation again.

Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone know of any patches or workarounds that can get me past this point? The game has worked fine up to this point and I've really been enjoying it, and I can't stand the thought of leaving it unfinished when I'm so close to the end. ;_;

I encountered a similar Bug as i played it long ago and i had to reload a older save and free the fountain again to be able to go on towards the Dreamsequence.

If you didn't gather the last pages of the Tome of Release and repaired the Meditation Wheels you can try finish this
smal subquests and praying that it will change the trigger.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give that a try. I did collect all the pages and performed the ritual to free the soldiers' spirits, and I repaired the Meditation Wheels, but only three of them instead of the whole thing. If nothing else, reloading will at least let me see the result of having done it properly this time. ;)

Nope, didn't work. I tried reloading to the point right after I entered the "real world" and played through from there, but got the same result. I also tried reloading all the way back to the spirit world before I'd fought the Minion of Suffering, but still no luck. :(

:( I have to admit that i have only one idea left...
It's none of the common bugs where a solution is well kown and i didn't find anything usefull at the net
but the Game is still at the Bioware Forum and some of the Fans still visit it...

so you could try to describe your Problem there or at a other Fansite and hope that they know a solution
