Talking with Zemekky

[Gargan]

After arriving to Gates of Morning and speaking to High Sun Paladin Aeryn at the gate I wandered around and knocked on Zemekky's door among others. I then spoke to Aeryn about Zemekky's research and she told me to talk to him. But when I do he still doesn't have anything to say to me. The only dialogue option is still apologising and leaving. I have Orb of Many Ways in my inventory. Is that a bug?

Check your quest log? Did a new zone show in the wilderness? Perhaps he'll only speak again to you when you've found some of what he needs.

I have no quest specifically related to Zemekky or Aeryn. There's The Wild Wild East but that only says "... explore the unknown far east, looking for clues", so I feel that isn't quite up to date. I have explored all of Far East now and the only map objects I found are the Unremarkable Cave, Gates of Morning and Flooded Cave, and Temple of Creation through it. Aside from that there's just orc patrols to fight and nothing more.

When I first arrived in Far East, I happened upon the stand-off between Fillarel and the orc. The game stuck after a couple of turns of that fight. Nothing happening, the game not reacting to anything, music still playing. It does that fairly often in version 34 though it didn't in earlier versions.

I killed the process and restarted the game. When I loaded the save I was not at the stand-off site but at the stairs leading to the surface from the Unremarkable Cave. I explored the cave and arrived again to the event. It played as before and seemed to work alright, except that probably with that I missed some quest I would have otherwise got.

Same happens to me.
The game just suddenly stops.
Kill the process and restart at last save.
Today I did 3 lvls of Dreadfell when this happened.
Had to restart.
This was pretty good as I managed to save an escort that died in the first try. (different escort).
Feels like I cheat almost even if it was not intended and my fault.
A compensation for the 2 HUGE castles in Old Forest that where lost due to this bug in the same game.

Very very annoying and this is only in late version(s).

Same problem here. Occurs if shutting down game in Unremarkable Cave.
