Player Created Undead Characters Aren't Immune To Bleed

[WGS]

Title says it all. As far as I can recall, ALL skeletons in the Divinity world cannot be inflicted with bleeding. Even the bone mage you meet, Fane, is immune to bleed. It seems like an oversight that player made skeleton characters can be bled.

Dev clarification go

So Undead have to use lockpicks when it says they shouldn't need to and they can bleed when they shouldn't.

This game was in Early Access for over a year and they didn't fix that?

[Euphytose]

Definitely sounds like an oversight.

right click on the door choose pick lock, as for bleeds i'd agree its a tiny oversight since they went with skeletons over zombies or what not so yea makes sense they shouldn't bleed.

I'd say it's more than tiny. Being immune to bleed is a pretty big deal.

They dont have to use lockpicks; have been playing undead for a while now - not used a single lockpick (ofc you need to level thievery still).

I notice the bleed yesterday, was playing multiplayer with my friends, but as soon as it was my turn (my character was bleeding) it said "bleeding failed" and the status went away even though there were several turns left. - I never took any damage from the staus.

I am playing undead characters with a friend of mine, custom created (as in not Fane) we are in general both immune to bleed from the majority of the skills.
However, seems like some environmental effects or events can actually inflict bleed on us, for example the first right-sided Withermore urn explosion[/spoilers].

Have you tested if skills that make you bleed instantly have any effect?

That's the kind I meant actually. Interesting. So it seems there's indeed a bug depending on what "kind" of bleeding it is. It basically still applies the bleeding, but sometimes it auto cancels. As opposed to Fane who's completely immune and can never get the effect.

[Nafanua]

Not really tested anything, just went through the game normally (well, I am not finished with it yet). But my undead party have not bled this far. I just finished lady vengance with those guys and got to the main continent.

I agree that they should just make the characters immune alltogether.

Testet the bleed with an IronMaiden. Got Bleed Debuff & took damage

[Zeon]

Same issue here, custom skeletons are not immune to bleed, hope devs are aware about this bug

[Atma]

I had no idea that Fane was actually immune to Bleed status. Then again, he's like.. a totally different race than standard Undead.

[Euphytose]

Added to the buglist. No idea why I hadn't done it already seeing as I've posted in this thread several times.

I definitely think it should have been fixed by now after several reports, but just for the sake of being fair they didn't have the undead in Early Access. It was only the first act and skeletons were not in.
