I can't seem to attack during the opening brawl at the very beginning of the game. I can get in to fight then once I am in I can't attack the first group nor can I get back out of the fence. ????????????????

What are you talking about? Which game? Which Campaign? Cos I cant remember anything like that in either games. Is it a custom module?

I would assume that he's talking about NWN2 and the brawl against the peasants during the festival at the beginning.

Eh, you really should point out which game you're talking about when creating a thread. This is a forum for both NWN1 and NWN2.

Are you wielding the special clubs that they provide in the barrel? You can only fight in the contest if you have those clubs.
