Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback High ground problem/bug, please fix!

Hi guys

Firstly I wanna say well done on making a great sequel, I've been really enjoying the game so far but there is something that bothers me during combat that I really think needs fixing.

I think adding the high ground mechanic is a great idea and I'd like it to stay in the game but the problem is that melee enemy units from ground level are able to attack your units that are on high ground, but what's more is that your melee units on high ground can't attack those enemy units in return, that are on low ground. So what happens is that even though you're supposed to have the advantage for taking the high ground you are also ultimately put at a disadvantage when it comes to melee, which makes taking high ground a very awkward and undesirable choice, and somewhat ruins a perfectly good mechanic in the game. PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS

Thanks

Cris

This only happens in edge cases thankfully, but I agree. Perhaps only make it work for spears? (with fitting animation)

i think it works for any melee weapon? i remember some random magister with a sword doing it to my ranger. i also remember a possessed wolf killing my mage in this manner

In that case you should still be able to attack back at them with a spear from high ground, it needs to work both ways or not at all.
