Hello, sweetness.

Wait just a tick!
Killing me is a waste of time. I'll find a way to come back, always have, always will. Spare me, let me keep the girl and her babe, and I'll make you some angel hair pasta.

Lae'Zel: [fighter/intimidation] Actually I'll take the girl and the hair. *rolls dice* (Dice result is clearly higher than the required DC, and is about to add some modifiers with their lovely animations.)

Auntie Ethel: CASTS HOLD PERSON (while adding up the dice total)

Auntie Ethel: Legendary action - multiply

Auntie Ethel casts "hold party" before you can move, and the dice vanish as you return to combat.

Auntie Ethel: The only pasta you're getting is code spaghetti.

Your honor run has ended. Your save file and the evidence have been deleted.

???

Sorry, petal.

I had to dig WAY back on the forums to find this topic

Cannot make deal with Hag using Deception/Intimidation

After the Hag initiates dialogue following the fight in her lair in Act 1, I roll Deception or Intimidation (tried both) but mid-dice roll, the fight resumes as if I had refused the deal. This happens every time now and no matter which character the Hag initiates the dialogue with. Super frustrating because it means I literally cannot save Mayrina and get the Hag Hair.

Playing on PS5 with no mods. This has been happening for me since hotfix 16. Anyone else?

Edit: After filing a bug report, the Larian rep stated that they had received several reports of this when applying Guidance to the roll. I was using Thaumaturgy. So applying abilities to the Intimidation/Deception roll seems to bug out the dialogue and re-initiate the fight. After doing the fight several times, I can confirm that this seems to be the cause as the dialogue proceeds normally if you don't apply Guidance/Thaumaturgy to the roll.

PSA: do not use abilities for this roll until Larian patches it. Just roll it straight and rely on your passive bonuses.

I did this battle last month on Honour Mode. I failed the dice check (no abilities applied), had the option to take the deal or save Mayrina. I took the Hag Hair.
