Bugs

 * With The Stone Prisoner DLC installed, and after intimidating Lloyd to leave and join the defense of the town, Bella will allow you to look through Lloyd's tavern supplies and help yourself to the items he has in storage. Giving crystals, then leaving the tavern and returning, results in the tavern reloading and the the store's resetting. Bella will allow you to help yourself to the crystals again. Obviously, you can sell these crystals and have an infinite supply of gold. However, this bug, at least if overused, seems to lead to a corrupted save file, probably due to a counter overflow in tracking the total number of crystals sold to a merchant (PC was patched with v1.02).


 * To avoid save file corruption from over use of Bella's infinite sovereigns glitch, confine buying and selling the free crystals to the temporary merchant in Haven. His store is unique in that it does not keep track of all the crystals that you sell him, nor does his store remain after you initiate the events in the town. Or to be on the safe side, one could restrian doing this glitch until brilliant and flawless crystals appear in Bella's store (lvl 18-20) (Only confirmed by one user need another to verify). Flawless crystals available with lvl 16 character.


 * If Lloyd dies in The Attack at Nightfall and the Warden returns to the tavern, a male Warden can ask Bella for a kiss by selecting the "hero's welcome" dialogue option and/or in return for the 500 . During the cut-scene for either kiss Lloyd will appear behind the counter for a few seconds before the camera cuts away. Once the kiss is over Lloyd is again gone. Any romance-able female party member will lose influence if you accept the kiss, even if they are not being romanced.


 * To trigger the option of giving her money it is necessary to talk to Bella before intimidating Lloyd into joining the militia. If Lloyd is intimidated first, Bella will not complain about him and consequently there is no way of offering her money after the A Village Under Siege quest is completed. (Tested for PC with v1.04)
