Divinity: Original Sin Technical/Gamplay Issues

[e-mailio estevez]

I've had LOS on a slope prevent me from resurrecting someone because they were supposedly 'out of sight', even when standing right next to the body.

Tried to teleport away, figuring the corpse would move or something. Instead I was hit with 'You must gather your party before venturing forth'

You can throw a teleporter pyramid twenty meters away and teleport to it- it should work.

I notice teleport would not work on some chests twice. The spell would trigger and complete casting, log would say I've teleported the chest into the air but it remains where it was, and it doesn't take damage.

Minor issue but kinda of an annoyance.
And meh, the AoE icon sometimes blur with the terrain color - kinda annoyed they didn't just foresee that.

Lastly, I really wish they just standardize the recipe unlocks into what the components are and what makes what.
I really am amazed the recipe unlocks are basically word for word transcript of the goddamn book.

Hm, it seems you can't pickpocket the same person twice?
I wanted to steal some quest item from a certain elf, but couldn't due to too low pickpocket. Instead I only stole some potion.
A few levels later I tought I could try again, but the game won't let me...

 

[Perkel]

I don't think it is bug. It simulates that you stole from dude and he noticed it trying to be cautious around people. So either you steal something you want or probe him to steal later.

 

[Gord]

Yeah, it's probably to prevent players from exploiting pickpocketing on vendors.

The Barrage skill is broken it seems: depending on the user it will always/sometimes fire just one arrow instead of several.

I hit my first bug yesterday. I tried to save the game while some orcs and pirates were fighting nearby and even though I wasn't in combat myself, the game threw a fit and crashed. I wasn't worried because my last save wasn't too far back but when I started the game back up, I found that my last save was corrupted and would crash the game when I tried to load it and the last autosave was just before a boss-fight. Total lost time is probably only an hour or so (the boss fight plus two fights against orcs) but since I now know how much I screwed up chargen, I decided to just start over with better characters (and rotating saves).

Weird, not once in these ten days have I gotten this bug. All the marksmen skills worked fine for me.

Damn, things were going so well and now i have a game breaking bug that will probably force me to restart from scratch.

When i finished the grotto part of the quest and was given the option to enter the portal to find the witch, i decided to level up some more first and went on to complete the rest of the map quests and onto Hunters Edge, after i was done there i returned to the grotto to finally go to the other dimension...

Thing is, i can't teleport and at the lake there isn't an option to do anything or any portal. I seem to be stuck and with no way to progress without having to start a new game, as all my autosave slots and quick save slots have been occupied by later progression.

 

[Kirkpatrick]

You read the spell before? Maybe it'll work again?

Unfortunately i don't have the spell on the inventory anymore. Possibly theres a way to add it with editor, need to check this.

 

[Kirkpatrick]

To add on that, as it deals with missing stuff...maybe it's not a bug, but "send to Homestead" is not a great option for important stuff. Guess when the two chests get full, new additions to them just vanish. Lost some needed things for later that way, but luckily nothing too important.

 

[Gord]

If you are lucky, it's just a display error - remove some items from the chests and maybe the missing items show up again.
