[EXPLOIT] [SPOILERS] 1.04b2 - infinite dialogue Clever Reputation loop

[dam]

Description:

There is an infinite Clever dialogue reputation exploit in Od Nua level 13.

The Spirit is in the Easternmost small room with 2-3 traps and a normal + hidden containers, and can be talked to indefinitely.

 

Speaking to the Spirit results in the following introductory text:

"This hazy figure is tall and broad in frame" [...]

 

The player is then offered the following dialogue options :

1: Hello?

2: Oh, good. More dead people. [clever]

3: [Leave].

 

The same kind of loop may be available on other NPCs.

A possible fix would be to check that, for a given dialogue option, the Reputation has already been granted.

That, or just ignore superbly, after all this breaks roleplay immersion but if people want to cheat a bit, it's their own savegame they're diminishing.

 

 

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

1/ Get to level 13 of Od Nua.

2/ Find the Spirit in the Easternmost small room.

3/ Initiate dialogue, press 2 to gain [Clever] rep, press 2 again to exit dialogue, click again on NPC without even moving your mouse

4/ Repeat

 

I have gotten from 2 to 4 [Clever] rep in a minute or less, so this definitely is repeatable and not just the one time occurrence.
