Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Inventory Barter problem and Combat Command probs.

Hey there,

so this is a problem we've been having on our play through that we've learned to live with but it needs to change.

When you hit a hotkey for a spell/skill and change your mind and left click on another skill it will end up casting the spell you didn't want to cast. The spell casting system is clunky in that when an animation is performing you are locked in so you can't perform additional planned tasks that you want to queue up(why can you not queue spell/skills up)? This adds additional seconds to combat that add up over time and make combat a chore.

Another problem is there is a cursor over problem when trying to target enemies when you want to do a simple attack but ends up making your controlled character/summoned move to a position behind what you selected. This can become a huge problem if you're a range character with low constitution and end up moving through a stun cloud/poison cloud/burning ground/frozen ground.

In the barter window can we please have the sort drop down list? Yes I know we can filtre but I want to sort by last like my regular inventory.


TLDR:

1. Barter window needs sorting drop down list.
2. Combat Clicking needs to be able to lock on a target so you can see what debuffs do and don't misclick due to some problem with cursor/mouse over not properly registering mouse over on a target. Or an undo move command.
3. Please add queueing system to allow for smoother combat. I would like to enjoy thinking 3-5 moves ahead and watching it play out with out having to hand hold what I already know what I want to do the entire way. Thanks.
Other than that really enjoying the game!
About 100hrs in on my co-op play through.

You can cancel a skill/spell by right clicking or hitting Esc.

Aiming for the feet of an opponent can help prevent miss-clicks (the idle animation movement generally being in the upper half of the body), though click detection could be improved. The overhead tactical camera (b) can also help.

Thanks I already know about right click cancelling but when you start the movement that you didn't expect a point's wasted and depending on the distance of character could mean an accidental attack of opportunity.

It's the difference between polished and clunky and the game's combat has the depth but the control is clunky and unsmooth.
