Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Spoilers: Silence, or not..?

Anyone else slightlightly confused by the silence spell?
I as a D&D player thought: Oh, well, those drums are bad... so silence them!
Well, did not work out as planned.



I mean, yeah, this is not 100% 5E. But c'mon, that one should've been obvious imho.


But well done so far!

Same with the priestess. I silenced her and when her turn came up she screamed for help :\

"no sound can be created within or pass through a 20 foot radius sphere..."

Silence should stop drums, NPCs calling out for help, and conversations, as well as make it impossible to cast spells that require a verbal component. I'm sure they'll fix it eventually.

yeah .. cant wait till this is fixed. But im pretty sure even if they don't someone will create a mod that handles it proper

It actually seems like something Larian would think about
