Stuck in prison?

[Kamiyama]

So I'm at the druid grove and I have been wandering around talking to all the NPC's. I watched one of the children get slapped when the human had his locket stolen, and I intervened and persuaded the guard to let the boy go with a warning. Good thing right?

Later on I found the hideout where all the children are hiding. Mol was down there and threatened to beat me up. I apologized and persuaded him to let me go, and agreed not to bother his group anymore.

So then I reached the top of the gate and the tieflings up on top of the gate acted like I was a criminal. The narrator said "Mol was as good as his word, and spread rumors that you were threatening children" my options were to pass a DC 20 persuasion check (hard), attack the tieflings, or agree to go to prison.

I did attack them once - I can kill them easily enough, but then all the tieflings in the grove aggro me including Nadira who I need to talk to.

So I think, I did nothing wrong so I'll just go to prison and talk it out with the guards.

I'm in prison now. There are no guards. I can't pick lock the door. Help?

[Kamiyama]

bump

[Kamiyama]

So it looks like I absolutely have to pass that DC 20 persuation check?

This game needs a way to deal with crimes like Skyrim does. I don't know why Mol spread lies about me after I did right by him but there needs to be a way to get out of prison peacefully.

What jail are you in? The locked half room on Druid Grove

[Jaggid Edje]

I never got thrown in prison there, but it looked to me like the wall to the rear could be broken (it says it's a door). By rear, I mean the wall that is to the right if you were entering the cell through the doorway.

Anyway, just past that wall is a ledge you can walk on, so you'd just need to jump down to there, and then follow the ledge, jump one more time and over there is a secret door to a underground tunnel that you can use to enter and exit the grove without going past gaurds.

The path out is filled with exploding mushrooms that will launch you off a cliff and become insta-dead. I'm a dwarf not an acrobat.

Even if you get out that way, it resolves nothing with the NPC's who treat you like a criminal. They are still there and will repeat the same dialog.

I'm not seeing how BG3 is the latest, most advanced RPG of it's time when Skyrim had a way to decriminalize you by serving your time in prison. Why am I not able to sleep off the crime by interacting with the bed in the prison cell?

Why can't I talk with the guards and work out my crimes by paying a fine?

There's not proper mechanic to leave the cell except by sneaking out, and that doesn't change the fact that you're still going to be treated like a criminal.

Why does Mol get away with spreading vile lies about you?

u can set the mushrooms off without touching them, if ur melle u can use a crossbow/bow in 2ndary, if ur mage use cantrips, monk can also use a bow (teammates can drop items for u to pick up, or ur team can just locklick the door to get u out and u wait out fugitive timer. if u hate them, why not side with druids and get all the fugitives out.

Like I said, getting past the mushrooms doesn't help because sneaking out of prison doesn't change the fact that you're a criminal.

The ONLY way for me to get past this is to pass that DC 20 check.

I have quicksave before I meet the NPC and I've already save-scummed 10 times. It's not working.

This is with a Charisma 14 leader buffed with the guidance spell. I need at least 17 to pass the check. Nope.

[Kamiyama]

OKAY WTF

Passing the DC 20 deception check doesn't change you being a criminal either. The NPC will let you go but you still can't talk to the NPC or they repeat the same dialog and require you to pass another DC 20 check.

WHY IS THIS SO DAMN BROKEN?

[Kamiyama]

I'm not a criminal I want to clear my name.

The devs need to fix this ♥♥♥♥. Why is this so broken?

I haven't even done anything. I made peace with Mol and agreed to leave him alone!

[Kamiyama]

This game should not have left beta.

It is an alpha at best.

Games work better than this at release.

I'm in a similar situation, although I did actually threaten the kid trying to sell the fake ring, and then did not leave when the little dude in the cave counted to 10... now all the guard and chars accuse me and either make me roll, fight or go to jail.

Thing is, even when you succeed at the roll it seems you have to do so with every character...! And then first one to fail goes to jail. For me there are traps and a ton of gobos guarding the way out, making it seem nearly impossible to get out with just one character.

I'm assuming there has to be a way to fix this though. Maybe the other chars finding a way down to free them? Or succeeding all 4 rolls in a row? (♥♥♥♥ that).

Considering going back to a save before I threatened the little guy, but damn... this does seem kind if broken. Anyone able to assist?

Also isn't that a main character that joins you that attacks you...? Wyll. Makes me feel fighting them all is not even an option.

lockpick the door open to the jail cell, or go down the path. if u chain everyone together u all leave together once u enter a new area. evidence chest lets u get ur loot back

[Zheppon]

i got the same situation as you but instead killing anyone i just knock em out unconscious and then i am pretty much clear and can walk and talk to anyone so i guess just dont kill anyone instead give em a good ol concussion and then they will forget your crime lmao

[Phero]

You beat up those kids, didn't you?
