I dunno how many times I've had the game just straight up cheat on me. Just had it happen again. The problem seems to be firing lines. Enemies can sometimes fire through walls, through closed doors, through FLOORS. Just happened in the Zenthium section of the goblin camp (They were holed up in their smokepowder room, door was closed, they could shoot out but I couldn't shoot in.) Other common places are the ruins just outside the Goblin camp (where Volo is) and in the spider nest fight with the queen phase spider (that's the most common one for shooting through floors.) And it is NEVER reciprical . . . they will be able to shoot at me all the ding-dong day but I can't shoot back at them. Doesn't matter if I have the high ground or they do.

thats not really cheating... the bad guys will take a shot at you if they can find a line of sight and yes sometimes thats questionable but the walls and floors are made with holes in them

Nope op is correct, there are places were there is no line of sight and you can get attached through “solid” objects. The one I can think of is in the spider lair. The spider Queen can fire poison right through the floor of one of the ledges. Wouldn’t call it a cheat, more like a bug…

I've only noticed this in patch 9 which introduced the bug with doors that means they look closed when it's actually possible to walk through them. I've found that in this case, enemies can still shoot through the bugged door but my party actually needs to walk through it (or "open" it then, as that actually closes it, open it properly) before they can target the enemy.

Which isn't to say that it doesn't happen in other places where there isn't strictly line of sight, just that I've never noticed it. I certainly wouldn't be that surprised if there was some bugginess at the handling of line of sight especially when verticality is involved, given the latter has a number of other known issues with spells.

This isn't just a BG3 thing. I recently played the Solasta DLC Palace of Ice and there were some very dodgy LOS decisions and mostly not in my favour. cry
