Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Combat mode infinite turn exploits

No news after 9 months? Is there any chance of any new patches for this game?

I beat a certain optional fight in Fort Joy yesterday (which I will not name because I don't know how to use spoiler tags) but the victory was hollow because my characters kept leaving combat and getting extra turns. Note that I did not want to exploit the game here! That's the problem, not only are these exploits possible, but you often run into them on accident. Moving vulnerable characters far from combat just makes sense tactically, but nope, any time you try to use distance tactically the combat system breaks down by dropping people from combat and then giving them extra turns when they rejoin.

I hope Larian will consider implementing something like the fix Raze mentioned above. One addition I would make to his idea is to add a confirmation dialog when a character is moving too far from combat and will be dropped from combat. Otherwise instead of accidentally getting extra turns, players will accidentally lose their turns when they try to use distance tactically. I actually wonder why moving far from combat should drop characters from combat mode at all. I imagine there's a technical reason for it... if using the escape action was the only way to exit combat mode you would not need the confirmation dialog.

EDIT: So after thinking about it a bit more, the confirmation dialog idea doesn't make any sense, and maybe "accidentally losing turns" would not really be an issue, since characters dropped from combat may lose a turn, but they still would get free movement, a free attack from stealth, and a reset on all their cooldowns, the sum of which is probably better than the turn they missed anyway.
