Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Lighthouse Ghoul, rare (and amusing) bug

I'm attempting to play a "true" lone wolf assassin type. So I get to the lighthouse, position some barrels, make a big explosion, have the initiative and stealth. The turn after the Ghoul raises his dogs, he does something very unexpected: teleports to the trade ship in the harbor, slices up my butler--err, second character--and teleports back to the lighthouse. All the NPCs near the ship join the fight, but since the butler is dead, they just stand around.

I reloaded the fight, did the same things, same thing happened. Rather funny I think.

Record it an put it on youtube, i'd like to see that. ^^

That is pretty funny. Just goes to show, the dead know everything!

This seemed like a more appropriate place to put the bulter:

Very nice. Thanks for uploading it.

Hopefully Larian bods will see it.

Definitely a bug. Not high on the priority list obviously, but I'm sure they'll get to it when they can. It is rather funny, though. A giant ghoul suddenly appearing in town to kill your partner who's not even involved in the fight. What happens if your character is in the middle of the town square, or surrounded by guards? Do they attempt to help, or is it just 'pop in, attack, pop out' before any NPC can react?

Thx for sharing - I had a good laugh

Definitely not a priority.

The guards and everyone nearby join the fight, but since my butler was killed, they just stand around and do nothing until the fight is finished.

I think, this bug deserves "The bug of the month" title!

Probably related to a Beta bug report where the ghoul followed escaping characters anywhere in the Cyseal map.

I wonder how Arhu would react to the ghoul appearing...

Oh, that is just funny. Wonder what would have happened if something had prevented the ghoul from teleporting back. Would he massacre the entire town or would the Legion eventually pig-pile him to death?

LOOOOOL

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. ^^

Since it works smoothly and the ghoul actually uses proper teleportation, I think it's a feature :p

Also, someone mentioned that it could be related to the fix they put in for the thing following a fleeing party into town.
