Greenford Taken. Umm, what now?

I'm almost ashamed to have to ask this since I've been playing this game for so long and have still not finished. Nonetheless, I'm stuck.

I've taken Greenford and busted the old dude out of jail. He said, "It will take a few days to translate these tablets.", or something, so I was like "OK, take yer time, man. I need a rest anyway. I'll go repair my ship and pimp it out some."

So I left him standing up near the lighthouse and now I don't know what to do. I've tried to leave and come back. Or leave the whole island, repair my ship and come back. Or leave, and do something else and come back, but he's always in the same place. He wont talk to me. I tried to kill him. He still wont talk.

Is this a bug? There aren't any clues in the questbook as to what I should do now.

Any help is appreciated.

FredBob,

Yeah, after a talk to him at the lighthouse, it "teleports" me there. I'm the only one in there though, since I scared the hell out of everyone else by taking over the fort.

It's like this: I bust him out of jail and I get teleported to the lighthouse. He talks to me and says he'll translate and it will take a few days, but he wants to come too. I say cool, I'll go repair the ship.l I get teleported to an empty Greenford tavern. No people. No Danielle. No clue as to what to do next.

Actually there are a bunch of people walking around Greenford. But they all have swords, so I guess they're supposed to be like my pirate crew partying and pillaging.

I think build 11. I'll confirm that later.

Did the bug apply to build 11? Did it keep people from completing the game? I'm pretty sure other people have finished it with build 11.
 
It was all right in B11, but inadvertently changed by updates later on. Perhaps you have one of the updates but not the most recent one which fixes the problem. That tavern should *not* be empty, you should be there with Danielle, talking.
 
Arrr,

I figured out my problem. I guess I did something that screwed up certain game triggers.

At some point in the game, you go to the lighthouse to find the old dude, but there are English troops inside. After dispatching them, you come out of the lighthouse and Danielle talks to you and starts the mission to attack Greenford.

Well, you have a choice here. Either attack right then or return to the ship. Being a prudent fellow, I returned to the ship. I needed a drink. Then I attacked Greenford. That was the wrong thing to do.

The "correct" thing to do is to either attack immediately (meaning when Danielle brings up the mission) or return to the ship and them meet Danielle at the lighthouse. I was already at the lighthouse, so it didn't make sense to go to my ship and then just jump off (which would let me talk to Danielle again. This is where she would say to meet in the middle of Greenford).

Anyway, I figured it out. I crushed Greenford and saved the day. Now I'm on my way to Kaoul Rou (or whatever).

Thanks for the help, everyone.
 
I just `re-read` my last message and it seems like the incoherent ramblings of a madman.

Unless you were in the exact same situation as me in the game, you probably wouldn't have the same bug. So my message probably wont help much. Oh well.

Really, this is just another example of the many problems in the game due to the developers rushing it out the door. What a crock.

Later.
