Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback "Move Lock" for combat-to prevent accidental move?

I can't tell you how many times I or my friend have accidentally clicked somewhere on the ground during combat and lost action points or a whole turn (with accompanying profanity). Yes, yes, it's our fault, but still :p

I propose an option called "Move Lock" that, if enabled, forces you to hold ALT or SHIFT when clicking the ground if you want to move during combat. Out-of-combat movement would be the same.

Thanks :)


(Sorry if this already exists or has been discussed)

That would actually be quite handy. I've done the same thing often (including D:OS) and it's frustrating.

Yes, I've always wanted something lie this, or the ability to select targets via their portraits to avoid mis-clicks. It's really annoying since the shifting idle poses can cause you to click the wrong thing.

I have had the same issue in DOS 1 and no, this is NOT the player's fault.
The player was required to select the hit box of the mob and since they don't stand still but always have some animation it would occur sometimes you would click on them at the moment they start their animation and bam your character moves instead.
This is infuriating!

In the end I was always zooming in as much as I could and wait for the stupid mob to finish his random animation to attack.

There was also a bug with some knockdown mob (Half body zombies I think) and they were sometimes flashing making the cursor flash for a brief period making your click be a move instead of an attack.
No they were not players error they were simply a flawed mechanic and a bug.

Although I have not encountered this issue in DOS 2. I think you can just target their round base to make sure your order gets were it should. So all is good in the EA at least.
But a move lock could be fine.

I guess if you press CTRL and click you kinda have the same but I am not sure if your attack will hit the ground instead of the NPC.
