Mercy of the Tribes is still broken. Permanent combat bug. Any hope it'll be fixed?

I've just now tried lying during the trial. This also breaks the quest (cannot be completed).

I examined the staelgar, then went to the hut (I thought I had also examined the body, but had in reality done so on a previous playthrough). If I want I can start the 'trial' now. The 'trial' will not trigger, however, if I now leave the hut, go examine the body, and then return. So: Staelgar > Body > talk to Ridai > trial = works Staelgar > talk to Ridai > Body > trial = does not work

Not sure if this is where to start this kind of thread, but there are TWO broken quests out of Twin Elms....incredibly frustrating. At the Mercy of the Tribes - After killing the people in the abandoned tower and exploring a bit I wind up getting caught in permanent combat if I go anywhere near the Fangs. I end up just having to reload. Hunter, Brother - I went in to the 'trial' before finding Fiorns (?) body (I had found him once before, but had to reload because of the permanent combat thing). I remembered, reloaded, then ran out, inspected the body, and returned. Now it refuses to begin the 'trial'. I'm stuck with Ridai saying he's "eager to find out what happened", and the main trial lady (you'll have to excuse my complete inability to recall names...) offering dialogue options that do not include anything to do with the trial. The quest remains incomplete. Any help would be great!

What a shame. I'm an English-speaker by birth, but I often like to play games in French as a 'cheap' way of practicing the language. I guess I'll have to avoid that for now...

Both are fun, but I prefer the druid, myself. As you said in your first post: it just feels a bit more traditional. Anyway, best of luck with your game....may the four winds blow you safely home!

Thanks guys! I'll see what I can work up.

Quick question: can I change my portrait after creating a character, and if so, how? Many thanks!

Sometimes getting one character back alive was a huge relief. Reminds me of OG XCOM....

Yes, please! My prisetess' golden locks are now forever covered by a goofy Ren Faire hat...

The descriptive text is a whole other issue...you hear the voice before you can read what the person is doing or emoting physically...it can be pretty jarring sometimes.

I'm still really enjoying combat (only about 30 hours in), but agree that tanks (Eder) seem a bit too strong. I never, ever have to worry about him (in the middle of Act 2). Maybe a squishier tank and/or nerfing ranged attacks would help? [At the same time it's worth remembering how easy it is to over-egg a game....sometimes by fixing every 'problem' in a game you wind up with something wholly uninteresting to play]

First post here. Absolutely no disrespect to the voice actors, who I think have done an excellent job (especially given the difficulties of a 'fantsy' script and no real animation to back them up), but does anyone else here just immediately hit mute whenever voice acting kicks in? Maybe it is an impatience thing, but I can always read the text far faster than the actors can deliver it. Bizarrely enough I find the voice acting break immersion, rather than creating it (since we're staring at pretty abstract characters and designs, unlike something like Skyrim where you're very much 'in the world'). Either way, i'm genuinely enjoying the game...it is having a pretty deleterious effect on my productivity at the moment! Great job Obsidian!
