Whatever i do, each party member misses any attack. It doesn't matter if these attacks are melee, ranged or magic and it doesn't matter if i stand besides that enemy or in a distance. Since commander Zhalk gets company with two of his species later on, my party gets killed during that 'TUTORIAL' sequence in an ongoing loop, no matter what i do. What's wrong here? Nearly any attack goes missing, no matter what character i use - i don't expect D&D rules to play like PoE, but it feels ridiculous the way combat feels.


You are told you should leave the Devil alone and connect the nerves in front of the rudder. There are ways to "win" the fight, but you are told 2 times at least not to fight him and rush to the front.
