The sneaking sniping has to go. I had Lae'zel, Astarion, and Shadowheart trigger the Bullette fight. Game glitched and my MC didn't go with them.
So, I snuck up with my sorcerer and just endlessly pegged the Bullette with Firebolt until it dies. My companions kept him in frozen combat status while I just slowly dwindled him down and killed him.
When one member triggers combat, everyone needs to enter combat.
That is weird. It has seemed better to me lately in that once someone hits they are most of the time pulled into combat. What I am afraid of is that they will "fix" this and then completely screw stealth players by removing the only way to create an ambush. I am not a fan of how easy it is to cheese stealth combat, but given a choice between how it is now and not having any way to ambush then I will pick how it is now. I can always stand up out of stealth if it does this random glitch, an occasional immersion breaking instance is better than each combat being one.
