               Patched NWN 1 to 1.69 and now hencman special abilities on the radial menu are replaced by a duplicate of the Mount options, What do I do to access henchman special abilities? I also cannot possess my familiar as that ability is also replaced on the radial menu by  a duplicate of the mount options.

Well, up until the hak attack on the legacy Bioware site... yes, there were v1.68 rollback files available.  They may yet become available again as the IT folks scurry to sanitize the affair.  I have not noticed that particular direct link file posted anywhere in these threads yet, though some community member may have copied it.  (Lightfoot8? Are you reading this?)

Nonetheless, with all the turmoil withstanding, v1.69 should NOT affect how one accesses the normal functions of the game so it should probably be asked whether you have installed one of the custom utilities like Tony K's AI, for example?  If so, you may need to uninstall all the utilities, then patch to v1.69 and then reinstall them.  Other custom utility users would know this issue better than I, however.

So, it seems whatever the problem, you DID have it working the way you wanted while running v1.68. Correct?

If so, why not simply uninstall the game completely, then re-patch to v1.68 since you must have that patch available or couldn't have been playing while running it?  Then the environment should be the same as before the v1.69 update.

TBH, however, you should be adamant about resolving the issue with v1.69 rather than using a prior version because most community content and utilities require v1.69, at minimum (not to mention all the PWs).  Just my opinion, though.
