I'm right at the beginning - Isle of Ashes - and that locked door, the one you need a key for, keeps locking again when I stray too far. So I started a new game, and now Yrsa disappeared before I could get the key from her. I got the 1.3 patch on. Anyone, please help. the irony of it all it that I actually paid for this game, since I... ummm.. couldn't find a torrent for it.
The only way to tell between me (Metel Star), dumdum (The COA's idiot), and Blaze (The reckless idiot) is by our eyes (blue, green, red, in that order) Hey, nobody said being a Metel is easy. Including since I had a darker form... We all have darkness in our heart. Mines the worst- Metel Shadow
Hmm. Haven't played mm9 in a long time, but the way you describe it DOES sound like a glitch. I haven't heard of or experienced the same glitch myself, but fortunately you are at the beginning of the game Often glitches can be overcome simply by returning to an earlier place (or save) in a game and simply replaying it. Since you are so early in the game you won't lose much by simply trying to play it again and hopefully the glitch won't reappear.
This recently happened to me in Half-life 2. A cut-scene that needed to play before I could move on simply would not trigger, for no apparant reason. I tried everything. Finally, I went back to a save before the glitch, played pretty much everything the same and *WHAM*. Cut-scene triggered just fine and I was able to move on.
