I found out how to keep this pain in the ass, this annoying, useless, quivering, quaking mass of protoplasm called Alvin from following me.When you get to Lakeside, DO NOT go into the crypt to talk to Berengar.When you get to Murky Waters, DO NOT talk to Alina or look for Alvin.DO NOT go anywhere near the Ruins.I'm now merrily going about my business, completing the Alp, Cemetaur, Devourer, and Giant Centipede quests without Alvin! :teeth
o those quests first, get them out of the way, then you can talk to Berengar and Alina.
