Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Should traps be seen by scouting ahead w camera?

Hey all.

Just came here to post a possible bug. Hope im in the right place.

Anyway, while exploring the beach where "Oggie Woggie" is, to avoid spoilers. I was scouting ahead with the camera. I saw traps on the ground that my characters don't detect and that disappeared from view when they came closer.

It smells like a bug. what do you guys think?

It's probably a bug. There are other things that you can cheat this way, such as buried secrets.

Figured as much. Thanks for answering.

The fact that you can scout ahead at all in the first place is a bug. There is supposed to be a "fog of war" blacked-out effect over everywhere you haven't been yet. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to stick around for very long once you've entered a map. Even reloading a save seems to cause it to bug out and vanish completely well before you've ever visited remote areas.

I found those traps the same way. They were killing my whole party until I figured out what they were.

I'm sure it's a bug, but I'm not sure if it's one they are focusing on fixing anytime soon.

They already said they would fix this soon...
And hell no, don't take away my scouting with camera. Having doors load in closed stand is annoying enough to move about maps already to make it more obnoxious.
