Guess what I found?

Yep, that's right, another bug! Another one to do with conversations. Just bear with me, this may be difficult to understand (it's certainly difficult enough thinking of how to phrase this).
Ok, for this to be easier on all involved, I'm going to define the following two terms;
Light Conversation - Where you are talking to an NPC, but you still retain the ability to walk away, attack, interact with items, etc.
Heavy Conversation - Where you are 'stuck' in conversation with an NPC. Example: Fake 16:9, can't do anything until you either press escape, or the conversation ends.
Now that all that is out of the way;
When you have engaged in light conversation with an NPC, the conversation is still happening (meaning the NPC is still talking to you), and they have a heavy conversation scripted for the next time you converse, if you click on them once again, you may sometimes encounter a rather strange bug. I have only tested this with Grue (spl?). He started talking to me about how to make a mould, and I couldn't be bothered listening, so I gave him the present that he wanted. The light conversation ended, but when the heavy conversation began, it was the wrong audio. It went to the cut-scene, and began playing the conversation you hear when being asked for the gem dealers papers. No animation was happening at this time, so it eveidently froze everything except the audio.
Blah, if that makes NO sense at all, I won't be suprised. For some reason, this bug is quite hard to explain.
I have only tried this Grue, but it may work with other NPC's. Also, it doesn't do it every time, I only managed to get this to happen once in about every 50 tries (yes, I tried it enough times to get an average...)
I guess just don't be impatient. Wait for NPC's to stop talking before trying to have another conversation with them.
Not a huge bug, but it could be annoying if your last save point was a while back.

Hmm, dont think you should be able to pick items up through solid objects....

Unfortunately, this little idea doesn't work for Poxselis's tomb, as the helmet doesn't appear in the bow until the puzzle is solved. Damned scripting...! *shakes fist* Plus, I'm failrly sure it's the actuall removal of the helmet that sets off the Lichs'.
I'll keep looking for other places.

Got another one coming hopefully pretty soon. Just working out the last couple of small details.
Nevermind, I've just posted the new one!!
