Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback [Bug ? ] Constitution lowered by Boost: -2

Greetings,


First off i want to say i really enjoy the game so far and have almost 60 hours already. Great work overall.

At the moment i am on the Nameless Isle, and i just noticed that i have a strange stat debuff on my constitution that reads " Boost: -2". I don´t know were it comes from. I also have the -2 from Spider Kiss but that reads " [u]From[/u] Spider Kiss -2". The last save were it was not there is several hours ago, when i just landed on the Nameless Isle. I may have overlooked something, but i cant find the thing that gives it to me. It is not some kind of talent or from Gear. It is even on there if i take everything off.

Does anyone know what this is and maybe how to get rid of it ? I searched already if the problem is know, but it seems i am the only one.

I think you get it by giving your vitality to some god. But this boost thing is actually kinda bugged, because it "disappears" when you use respec mirror, and makes you unable to get full hp: the max hp you can have is calculated considering this "boost", but the max hp of a character on the icon shows if there were no -2 const, so it kinda messes with hothead(yeah, i can explain i swear). So it's like you have 4370\4560 and you cannot get the actual full hp.

Thx for the reply. Can confirm it gets removed by the mirror, but stays bugged in the background, killing Hothead in the process. All my saves that have it, are after the sacrifice. So you are probably right. If it is intended, from the vitality sacrifice, it should be a " Talent" or something that has a description, so that you know what it is. Just "Boost: -2" is kinda confusing.


Edit: Played my savegame, that was just landed on Nameless Isle, to the Elven Temple and can confirm that the blood sacrifice was the culprit. So my problem is "resolved" but the bug with this + the mirror needs to be removed. Further i suggest that:
1. it has to be made clear that u don't just sacrifice HP but actual stats. I did not notice that i had offered Constitution until much later.
2. Rename the debuff to something that makes clear, what it is, or make it a "Talent" like Spiders Kiss so people who don't get confused like i did.

This can get closed i guess.

This is correct and should be added to the bug list. Spider's Kiss is very clear and direct, so whomever decided to use the word "boost" to represent a -2 con drain (when the text described vitality) should be watched with a doubtful eye. Made all the more annoying by disappearing when you respec, which, in conjunction with crap disclosure about what happened with the god makes this actively look like a bugged stat rather than half arsed feature implement.
