You should keep i mind (but i know its hard to accept) that humans tend to suround themselves with people they have something in common with ...
Its perfectly fine to talk with person with different religion, if you agree on politic stuff (or vice versa, or something entirely different) its perfectly fine to talk with person who have different politic ideas, as long as you can talk about sports, since you both like the same team ... etc. etc.

BUT (and this is the important part)
Once you and some random non-specified person have nothing in common, you will not stick together. Thats just how our mind works, there is nothing bad in that. smile

Once you grasp this idea, its not so hard to expand it futher ...
Why i never meet anyone who voted for the other president than i did?
Why i never meet anyone who thinks this horrible noise is actualy beautifull music?
Why i never meet anyone who would like that stupid sport (team)?
Etc.
Why i never meet anyone who would like such ingame features?

The answer is often (almost allways) the same ... those people simply arent part of your social bubble, it doesnt mean they dont exist. wink

I see ...
Fun thing, you both are right. laugh

I mean exploits usualy start like oversight, or misstake ... but once they are left there on purpose, they indeed become feature. laugh

I believe Larian improoved this ...
Now when you enter the tunnel and come few steppes inside, your party gets really low Perception check (i dont think i ever failed) and warn you about those statues.

You can still miss it, true ... but RP-wise, it seems lot better to me now. smile

This was also improved ...
