While in the trade window with an npc: while mousing over weapons to buy, it pops up a tooltip to compare it to my currently equipped weapon, but it was always the dialogue initiator's weapon, and not person currently doing the shopping. (ex: Shadowheart was shopping, but the tooltip comparison was for the main character's equipped dagger)

I was standing there (in the Druid Cove place) watching Alfira (like a creep) attempt to make lyrics and strum her lute, but she had no lute. Just... a pretty good air guitar. (she did, however, find her lute once the song cutscene started)

While exploring the beach (again, in the Druid Cove place) during --and after-- the fight to save the little boy from the harpies, Astarion would consistently take 8 acid damage every round (and every 30ish? seconds after combat). There were no acid spells being slung, only fire, ice, harpy rocks, and harpy songs. At some points he was downed (and making death save rolls) and would still be taking the acid damage -- and getting pegged with a failed save-- It persisted throughout the entirety of exploring the beach, and stopped once I went back to the grove.
It would appear that's not a bug, just lore-accurate and I'm rusty on my lore. Must read up more! <3



I have some screenshots, but didn't know where / how / if I should upload them?

For the trade window issue, just click on the character portrait at the bottom left to have the appropriate person in the transaction.

As for the damage to Astarion, I noticed the same, and I think I figured it out.
The rule from 5e is actually live in where vampires are harmed by running water and take acid damage.
I was blown away when I figured it out because I couldn't believe it was implemented.
Astarion is fine in puddles and such, but crossing through lakes and streams or standing in open water areas like lakes or beaches will fry him.


I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.

Holy criss cross. I forgot all about running water and vamps. It so rarely comes up! Thanks for straightening that out for me, it was driving me crazy o_0;;

As for the trade window, I made sure to have selected another character. I just used the 'ol imgur to upload an image: https://imgur.com/a/4svU2np
