Is it present in D2R? If yes, does anyone know whether you “lose” the bug status if you ever go back to camp and talk to the NPCs in any of your subsequent Andariel kills?
It is still present. Once you kill her and talk to wariv, then go to act 2 and quit the game it’s locked in for you.
And from then on, on subsequent kills, I do not need to take any special measures, I can talk to who I like?
Yes. Once you’ve bugged her - it will stay bugged forever.
Ah great thanks.
