The most hilarious bug I encountered in IWD:EE

O_Bruce

So I was just after battle against hapries during the Trials of the Luremaster and after that I needed to pretty much raise from dead everyone on my party. Then, the most hilarious thing happened.

Rinna, my Dragon Disciple reincarnated as.... a meat chunk! On this screenshot you can see screen being more or less centered at her.


She couldn't move... trying to not re-load game to avoid repeating the battle, I ordered my party out of the cave. It worked, Rinna was together with them, but still as a piece of meat! And that chunk of meat was rotating in place as it would have been falling on the ground while character being chunked.


She still couldn't move. So I started wondering if she can cast spells... Of course she can! Rinna was the most arcane-adept chunk of meat in the world!

Mirror Imaged:


Casting a spell:


Protected from the Elements:


So yeah, it's hilarious. I am in possesion of the most powerful chunk of meat on the planet. It can do everything.... besides walking, of course. It seems to be its only weakness.

(aside from that there is other bug. In Polish version it should be "Ochrona przed żywiołami" instead of "Protection from the Elements")


I have no idea how this bug happened nor what killed Rinna, but it was hilarious. The only theory I have at the moment that she was chunked, but the game didn't register her as such fully, since I still could ressurect her on the spot. As a chunk of meat, but still.

Maybe that's why usually you cannot ressurect chunked characters...

Now you have your own Kangaxx in the team.

Thanks for sharing!

This is indeed a bug

(Chunked characters should not have a portrait remain and should be removed from the party and game)

@O_Bruce thanks for reporting untranslated string. It has been translated. Please do share any other untranslated lines you'll encounter, so I could translate them before next patch goes live.

@Cahir
Same thing happens with Protection against magical energy (or whatever that 6 level spell was called).

Reincarnated as a meat chunk? That’s some pretty bad karma. What’d Rinna do, slay the entire village?

She encouraged Old Jed to keep drinking.

If I saw a dozen steaks casting spells, it’d “encourage” me to start.

It is a shame you cannot pick her up and pop her in your backpack. So you have your very own meat chunk familiar, and you can always eat her if you run out of iron rations.

I like the sound of "you can always eat her". ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But seriously, she is Dragon Disciple with 75% fire resist. Frying that chunk of meat would take just too long.

You can serve as a ceviche. Should work, unless her acid resistance is high too.
