Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Magma Mephit Wild Surge Interrupting Cutscenes

During the fight with Crusher in the Goblin camp I cast a level 2 magic missile that got him to submit instantly, but because of wild surge I got a Magma Mephit to spawn. It then took me out of the Crusher defeated conversation as it was starting. Everyone in the camp then banded together to kill the Mephit. I then tried to talk to Crusher again, because we didn't finish our conversation, but he was no longer able to be talked to thanks to the scene being interrupted early.

is that a bug... i mean its called a wild surge for a reason

I would still report it because I am sure there are other situations that would be a bit more game breaking if this happened…

Nobody knows what a surge will do

Facetious and joking comments from others aside - yes, this is definitely an unintended bug, without any sane question of the matter; it's breaking scripts and cutscenes.

I'd encourage you to send this one, along with your save file (folder and thumbnail included) along with any screenshots you might have, along to their formal bug submission form - here: https://larian.com/support/baldur-s-gate-3#modal
