Stepping in puddles of "water" in the old city makes characters sickened, which in turn makes combat UI pop up:


Think makes saving and looting impossible while you stay in the puddle.

Here is save from the Old City for you convenience:

It's not the water, it's the toxic clouds from the piles of bodies that you can see. This was a thing in RTwP too.

 

In certain sections of the map, you're better off having most of your party hang back while sending a single party member to go grab the loot.

Alright! Never noticed it in RTwP

 

EDIT: actually I did! Now I remember containers constantly disappearing. Now I know why.

It is annoying. I wonder if the ship has sailed on them being able to make those hazard areas (they're in Beast Of Winter too) not put you in "combat"

Yeah, it 's the bloated and gaseous corpses that does it. A great thing, that really keeps you on the toes where to step as it is wonderfully annoying.
