My reputation was initially green and somewhere in the 70s. Then it became 1. Now it's 0 and white and nobody even wants to promote my classes because I'm not "good". How did that happen?

I'm saving the dwarves from the mines. Found two - they immediately jumped into my NPC slots. But I have 2 slots already filled with other NPCs and only 4 slots in total, so what do I do for the other dwarves in the mines?
I went outside the mines and tried interacting, hoping that I'd be able to let them go here. But they just thank me and stay with the party.
What must I do?

This game makes me feel stupid as fuck because of these questions.

Did you join a forbidden guild? or completed a quest for them?
Did you interact with a house full of people on black hood?
Did you kill someone by inadvertance?

No. I open chests in towns all the time though, does it count as stealing?
How much rep do I need now to become "good" again?

I googled magic lamps and got a calendar. Used all 3 lamps on October 25 (Thursday). Two characters got poisoned, third one got a magic cutlass.
What I expected: 8 skill points for each lamp.
Wtf?

Someone was asking about this before, but what's the best way to play M&M 6/7/8 these days? I know about Greyface patches, but I don't know anything about the modded games or the merge.

I can't upgrade the castle, he just says "we're ready". Why? Is it a bug?

(I finished rescuing the dwarves and then did a quest for the queen of Erathia. I have a feeling maybe they want me to progress further before upgrades, but why is there a button here then? feel like a bug)

Something is fucked up with the reputation. I'm in Celestia and have 5 reputation. I enter the Temple of Light and it becomes 0.

And of course, hand in hand with the law comes reputation. Illegal
activities not only impose fines upon your characters, but it also makes them
less liked in the region in which they committed those crimes. Granted,
reputation is not global, but local, meaning you can go on mass killing sprees
in one region while remaining relatively liked in another. This also works
the other way. Just as your reputation can go down, doing things such as
completing quests and donating to temples will cause your reputation to go up
in a particular region. But then again, what you do to get you liked in one
region makes you liked in, well, that region.

I'm in Deyja and city guards (hobgoblins) attack me for no reason. Is it a bug?
Or is it because I picked the Light side?
It's a hassle running from them while visiting the town. If I kill them, more NPCs turn hostile.

The managerial aspect in this game seems to overtake all other aspects in how much time it requires.
1. Run across 5 different towns to expert the skills. Level up in the process, oh shit, 3 more towns to revisit now.
2. Can't master skills without acension. Run around doing a bunch of quests.
3. Run across 5 different towns to master the skills.
It's exacerbated with prerequisites. One ascension requires another ascension. So you run around more. Master skills of one character, ascend another, master it.
A level up hits. Oh shit, more mastering to run around for.

My last two days (4 hours each) I've just been managing this stuff, I haven't progressed in anything otherwise. Eight hours of managing is not cool. I'm tired.

A grand master should be able to teach expert/master/grand master. It's ridiculous that he can't.

You can just play the game, kill some monsters and advance your skills later. Have fun, do some exploring, do some quest, take it slow.

I just brewed pure intellect potion (+50 to int permanently) for my wizard and all it did was to increase max spell points from 208 to 216. What the fuck?

each post of yours continues to surprise me. Are you even enjoying it or feel codex peer pressure?
