Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Nere problems need fixing

Hey folks,
after you knock Nere out and then kill him, the gnomes will take issue with you trying to manipulate the body, making it impossible to cut his head off.
Related to this, when I tried to probe Barcus' mind when talking to him (and failed), they actually turned violent against me, which is a ridiculous and immersion-breaking mechanic.
Personally, I think this needs fixing, wdyt?

Fascinating, I haven’t had the problem where the gnomes keep you from cutting off Nere’s head. But I’ve always straight up killed him. I think it’s normal for NPCs to turn hostile if they catch you probing their thoughts. I don’t think that part’s a bug. It’s intentional. But the part about not being able to cut Nere’s head off sounds like a bug.

Just come back to Nere later after the gnomes and duergars (if you made allies) are gone. It's 1 long rest, I think.

Never had this issue, but on my most recent playthrough, a certain Cleric of Selune didn't let me loot a certain Flaming Fist corpse in similar fashion.

If that happens, just do what you do when pickpocketing and cast Fog Cloud on the target.
