Investigating the Merchants' League Estate quest bug

[Hekemon]

Hi,

I'm unable to finish this quest. I talked with Aldeth and Brandilaar in 2nd floor, gate the evidence to Aldeth, went upstaris, killed all dopplegangers. Now Alderaan still claims "monsters still live" and Brandelaar ask for evidence I don't have anymore. Downstairs is like nothing happened. Guards and merchants are still there.

[Crazed Possum]

theres more than 2 floors and a basement if i remember correctly.....hmmm

[Hekemon]

Yeah, there's three floors but no basement. Aldeth and Brandilaar in 3rd floor where the dopplegangers were killed. 1st and 2nd floor just have merchants and guards.

[Crazed Possum]

i still think there was a cellar...or basement...it's very hard to find/see. I want to say it was on the first floor near an edge or the stairs go down .....i think. Haven't played in awhile, sorry.

basement the owner is chained up go get him end of mission

[Hekemon]

I don't believe there is a basement. Seems other's have had problems with the quest also, I moved on already and skipped the quest... http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/12671/bug-aldeth-sashenstar-doppelganger-quest

TAB to highlight the door maybe?

[helen_parry85]

go to the office on the same floor as aldeth. proof is in the drawers, when you hand it over the other monsters will reveal themselves

after killing all monsters:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("AldethDopple","GLOBAL",16)

I can't complete this one, either. I can also only find 14 doppelgangers - five on the first floor, 1 on the second floor and only 8 on the third floor. According to the walkthough I am using, there should be 10 on the top floor.

In addition, nothing I do seems to let me pull up the console, so I can't even debug.

[Zilkin]

There are definitely 4 floors on that building.

[Aydena]

Then the game has inconviniently disabled the stairs to that fourth floor and the walkthough inconviniently fails to mention it at all.

[Muff]

if i remeber correctly the stairs down to the basement to free the npc are right below the stairs up. to complete this quest you need to free the npc in the basement. then go and turn it in.

You aren't remembering correctly parthanon. You are thinking the Seven Suns.

There are 3 floors in the merchant league. AR0127 (main floor), AR0128 (upper floor), AR0129 (top floor)

I do recall having this issue way back during the beta testing for 1.2 (september 2013 or so). When did you start your playthrough Aydena?

Looking at it internally it was fixed in patch 1.0.2012. So its possible if you started this playthrough a few years ago that you would experience this again (sometimes these patches don't fix problems in existing playthroughs).

I will check to see how many appear on the third floor to see if this is a new issue.

[DnD Detective]

I killed 10 on the 3rd floor (there were some outside of your initial line of view, 1 on the 2nd, 5 on the 1st. Still, it wouldn't register as though I had killed them all either way. So its probably a regression since I started the character I'm using after it was fixed.

I tried the quest a second time and it worked normally. So now I'm not so sure.

[Aydena]

I only started this game a few days (a week?) ago - so only a little time before the most recent patch (which I really appreciate, btw) but didn't start the Merchant's League quest until after the most recent patch (although I saved the merchant before the patch, if that matters)
