Help! Shifter cannot shift or change back

[Harmsda]

Please help, if anyone can. My shifter main character loses the ability to ever shift or shift back into human form after certain cutscenes in act 3 (either the Daeran romance where he asks you on a "not date", or where the trickster fake king arrives, I can't tell which since they occur at the same time on my save).

After these cutscenes, regardless of whether I go in to them in human or lycanthropic form, I can no longer transform afterwards. The ability buttons to transform are present, and pressing them triggers the effect on my character and in the log, but does not transform the character portrait or character model or actually confer any of the benefits of being transformed.

Working perfectly prior to these cutscenes, permanently broken after them.


Please help, if anyone can!

Try to go from Drezen to Lost Hope chapel, see if changing form there works. Try to hire Brown Fur Transmuter mercenary, and then with his ability transform yourself into animal. See if you can change form back. If nothing works, just get your character killed by enemies, or kill him with your party spells.

For starters, try saving, turning off the PC, waiting a bit, restarting and loading into the game again. Sometimes it's just a matter of the game running for too long.

You could also try doing a respec via hilor. If it's just those particular cut scenes and they are already in the past, could bypass that way.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Reloading and/or re-starting the computer didn't help unfortunately, and respec was probably a good suggestion that would have worked, but I am playing on a difficulty setting that does not allow respec unfortunately.

I actually managed to get it working again by triggering a new cutscene on a map outside of Drezen (specifically, by triggering the mini cutscene associated with starting a rest when doing so on a terrain map as opposed to on the strategic map). Unsure if other cutscenes would work too, but I was just happy it started working again so I didn't risk going back to test various other things.

Thanks again for the help guys

Hmm...sounds like you got it working, so that's good.

Another idea I thought of would be to try to polymorph your character via something else, then change them back and seem if that would reset your other polymorphs.
