Act 3 - Perplexed debuff

[Mallas]

I've reached Commoragh in Act 3 and have managed to fail a skill check and get a stack of Perplexed debuff.

Is there a way to remove it or am I stuck with -10 to my skills untill I leave and get access to my Void Ship again ?

Or just go with it, as, surprise, failing skill checks is a thing, along with the consequences that come with it.

There are skin patch serums that can remove permanent traumas and debufs like perplexed. There's also an NPC that can heal you a few times for a price, though you have to be careful using that - he has more valuable things to offer unless your party is crippled into being useless.

My debuff is just stuck, I can't remove it by any means. Not the patches, not the Tier 3 medkits.

Its a debuff that kills BS & WS so you literally cant advance if you get too many stacks.

The skin patches didn't remove perplexed for me =\

When you reach the Anatomical Opera in act 3, you will be able to heal all of your traumas.

How uh, unhelpful.

Like a game journalist.

Well I noticed it after trying to open some chests. Now my chars stats are at 0, strange game design to make those accumulative :D

It's fun to get debuffs that cripple your character until you get to a magical healer.

Your character walked over a trap. Now 3 of your characters are crippled and cannot hit anything with guns until you walk all the way back to the voidship and heal.


It's fun!

If it is what I think it is, it´s a story related debuff and you´ll get rid of it by advancing the story.

Surprise - I can give a bad game design a deserved bad review! All it really does is to encourage save scumming. Whole Act 3 screams "bad design". At least Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous didn't strip you of all your stuff and companions and didn't inflict you with severe debuffs to boot.

Combined with how the game cheats you (that Servitor upgrade I bought at the colony that was supposed to give me combat servitors? Yeah, never worked), this is just a bad experience.

The debuffs are there for the entire game.

Any time you step on a trap accidentally due to AI pathing, or make any number of mistakes..... Crippling stacking debuff until you walk back to your ship.

It is a gameplay feature that makes the game more "fun"
