I'm having an issue with the quest A Danger To Herself and Others. It has to do with the fight not ending because I am locked into combat with an enemy called "Laboratory Stuff" that I can't damage or interact with.

Spoilers: I talked with Gregorious Swann and used the [Scholar] tag to have him agree to let me see Natalie and he gave me his key. I opened his house door and he beelined for the basement. I followed him and as soon as I entered the basement, I was stuck in combat with Laboratory Stuff. Because I'm in combat, I have no option to talk with Natalie Bromhead to initiate the next part of the quest. If I damage Natalie, her emotions spawn. I can defeat the emotions and then nothing I do ends the combat with Natalie. Even when I kill Natalie, I'm still in combat with Laboratory Stuff while Swann hides in a random corner.

When I leave the basement at this point, Swann will respawn by the house, but his dialogue repeats a previous section, 'Are you ready to head to the basement (paraphrase)?' He then beelines again to the basement. If I go back into the basement anytime after leaving, I'm again stuck in combat with Laboratory Stuff, even if Natalie is already dead, and Swann cowers again.

Laboratory Stuff is just a rack of vials on the shelf to the left of the ladder. If I click on the Portrait of Laboratory Stuff in the turn order, the camera centers over the shelf. It takes no damage and I can't interact with it.

I'm having a similar problem in other places as well. This is the same playthrough as the problem with Laboratory Stuff.

When I go into the hatch of the Peacemaker, the area where you can get the compass unique item, I get stuck in combat with "Ladder". Ladder takes no damage and I can't interact with it. *correction* I can interact with it to leave the ship, but nothing I do ends the combat.

When I go near the haystacks just North of the Witch's house, near where Mabel and Geraldine cows are located, I get stuck in a fight with 'Hay'. Hay takes no damage and I can't interact with it. *correction* I can interact with it, but it just gives me the snarky 'needle' line.

It's not game breaking at this point, it's just more annoying that I have to spend combat AP to run by the Haystack until I'm out of range and the fight stops. I've went and completed a bunch of quests in Act 2 and went back to the Bromhead's house, but I still get stuck in combat with Laboratory Stuff. /Sigh.

More to this ongoing saga. Last night, I was in a fight with Magister Reimond/Magister Vorrh on the docks in the Blackpits. A "Torch" joined the fight. It did nothing except take a 2-minute long turns of just sitting idle. I couldn't damage it and if I interacted with it, it would light on/off like normal.

However, when the fight was over, it stopped being an enemy, so that was a good thing.

This was not fixed in the October 26th patch.
