The absolute worst combat bug

[khandnalie]

Sometimes it feels like Owlcat just didn't really do any QC testing for turn based mode. I just had a huge fight, the one in the hidden abode. It was very *very* close, and I was about to win... until Regill suddenly couldn't attack, for no reason. He had no status effect that would cause this, he just couldn't attack. You could click on creatures as if to make him attack, but all that did was freeze up the game. I couldnt do anything, couldn't even pass my turn. The only way I could progress was through real time mode, and that still didnt solve it.

I ended up party wiping because of this bug. Regill wasn't able to kill what he needed to kll, and so I got overwhelmed. This is far from the first combat bug to screw up an encounter for me. I nearly tore out my hair when the doorway glitch kept causing me to wipe. This is really getting quite embarrassing. This game has been out for nearly a year, already had a DLC, and there are still these really massive game breaking bugs. I am *very* frustrated by these bugs that keep ruining my combat experience.

Edit: And another one that I just realized contributed majorly - summons don't follow you through portals.

i think both these bugs were introduced in newer versions of the game, because i don't remember reading about them around three months ago

the thing about summons and portals, do you mean like they don't change map with you? at least in baldurs gate 1&2 it the same, so never expected it to work differently

There's also a major bug with the Lich spell "Restore Undead" - it does what happened to your Regil to EVERY SINGLE UNDEAD in your group, from your skeletal ally minion to any Dhampir mercenaries in your group.

Yep,

It just happened to me.

This is, that I can recall, the first time that I've ever seen a bug like that in a turn-based game.

My monk suddenly wouldn't attack, right at the end of a boss fight. I've seen every kind of crap you can think of in video games, but I don't remember ever seeing this one.

Like you said, the timing of it was the worst.

It killed the entire fight.

Yes, I had the same problem once.
