Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Interface Suggestion: Turn Based Mode on Trap damage

Hi all,

So funny story. I kill the goblins behind the secret druid door, and half my party jumps down during the fight. Combat ends as does Turn based mode and the game decides to "bring my party together." The party members I cannot see because my camera is focused on the melee ones walk right into the flame statue and are burnt down in seconds, while I cannot even see what's hitting them. I move the camera to see the downed characters. Now they are highlighted and the other members of my party who I can no longer see start moving to them, walking into the other flame statue trap. Instant TPK. I rage and contemplate uninstalling and writing one-star review of game with sucky Interface.

You need to give the Player time to react to surprising damage to their party members. Any time a character takes major environmental or trap damage the game needs to go automatically into Turn based mode so that we can see WTF is going on before it's too late.

Thanks,

Hello,

Your issue is related to the chain mechanic.
You should probably copy paste your post here : https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=679414&page=29

We already discussed issues related to this "inovating system" on a 29 pages thread. I guess another exemple of "why they should forget about this in a near future" wouldn't be useless.

Or here :P
