Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Found a bug allowing vendor Rerolling

Resources may be limited to an extent but that amount not really an issue, the reroll also causes the NPC's gold and base items rez scrolls etc to become additive per reroll, so an act two vendor can have 9999999 gold.

I'm sure you can see the game breaking implications of spending 15min re rolling a vendor and walking away with near best in slot for your level of gear, in a game where gear directly influences every single spell action and bonus in the game. especially on harder difficulties, even just a few very strong items, namely weapons can cause you to one shot bosses on tactician.

I personally view such things as cheating, many players may enjoy or dislike such a exploit but i feel its existence diminishes the prestige of harder difficulties. which is why for the strict nature of the game that are 4 difficulties, to challenge people how they want to be challenged, its a pretty big deal if you can turn honor mode into explorer mode with 30 min of item farming every other level. just IMO.

Furthermore i don't believe vendors reroll every hour they do however reroll every time you level, from my testing Larian has put a lot of effort and time into developing an item system that is very well coded to disable this very exploit

outside of saving the game at 99% exp and completing a quest, leveling viewing vendors then reloading if you don't like what rolled which is time ineffective and at best can only a few OK items per level

i believe the system was implemented this way to attempt to preserve integrity of the game diffaculties

Again these are only assumptions and my opinions. i simply don't want to see all of their hard work undermined by something like this. Coming from a background of high world ranking, in world of Warcraft play for years, bugs and exploits like this can impact the integrity of players and the game.

Unfortunately its part of the human condition to want to win, and if your having a hard time you will seek an advantage, whether that be using a enhancement drug in sports or an exploit in a game, the best way to preserve integrity of the situation is to remove the temptation altogether

Simply put, you wont cheat, if you cant cheat and that is best for everyone involved.
