No Genie in first part of the game

[wikitiki]

This is a game breaking bug. Whenever I go to the genie held captive in irenicus dungeon, I click on the lamp and the sound plays for the genie to come out, but no genie appears...I've done this many times. How do I correct this?

HEY , something weird happened in my game as well, I meet genie and I gave him bottle from Driads and he gives me exp and sword but there is no sword in my inventory.I tried to restart and reinstall but it doesn't help.

this is not a game breaking bug its a bug. all you can do is reload a save. the quest isnt even all that important and doesnt give you much xp. This bug has been in the game for 15 years.

I had it on multiplayer coupld days ago. He was there on singleplayer though.

It's weird.

If you're in need of a two-hander, you can get Lilarcor in the sewers below copper coronet (+3)

The genie sword is Viscona, a long sword +1 with cold damage. I find it to be my best weapon against everything except stone golems (kneecapper +1)

Actually the weapon type changes according to what the protagonist used in Baldur's Gate. My fighter who had specialized in warhammers, recieved Bassilus's +2 war hammer. Originally you got Seravok's 2 Hander, which most people didn't really want. So now you get that weapon from the Cambion you kill right after taking out the first group of rogue dwarves.

The merits of the 2 handed sword are really down played in this game. A long sword gives you 1 + 8 divided by 2 or 4.5 points average damage. The 2 hander gives you 1 + 10 divided by 2 or 5.5 points average damage. That's only 1 point of extra damage for a weapon that leaves you unable to wield a shield. A illegitamite son sword gives you only .5 damage less than a 2 hander. If you're determined not to use a shield, you're far better off dual wielding smaller swords. Two short swords give you average 7 points damage, 1.5 more than the 2 hander.

As of patch 1.3 what weapon you get is dependent upon whether or not you imported from BGEE, whether or not you had a weapon that imports, and your weapon proficiencies.

Its possible now to get a wide variety of items. The full list is as follows (with some descriptions). Priority is given to the top most item I believe.

SW1H24 (the Burning Earth +1 - a long sword)
HAMM03 (Ashideena +2 - a warhammer)
AX1H07 (Bala's Axe - obviously an axe)
HALB03 (Suryris's Blade +2 - a halberd)
DAGG04 (The Grave Binder +2 - a dagger)
STAF07 (Staff Spear +2 - a staff that does piercing damage)
STAF06 (Staff Mace +2 - a staff that is one handed and looks like a mace)
SLNG03 (Sling +3 - sling)
SW1H06 (Varscona +2 - a long sword)
BLUN11 (Krotan's Skullcrusher +2 - Mace)
BLUN09 (Kiel's Morning Star - Morningstar)

I found a work around, well, at least in my multiplayer game were the bug occured. I tried reloading several times just before clicking on the lamp in order to summon the genie but with the same result, no Genie. I then reloaded once more but instead of clicking on the lamp did i instead go to the area were I originally got the quest and it turns out, that the Genie had never disappeared from that spot, he was still waiting for me, that is, I got the burning earth and the chaos blade from him.
I am now having 2 chaos blades since the cambion also dropped one.

I noticed in my games sometimes the genie spawns outside the plane of air. just after the 'libray' area.
