Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues GAMEBREAKING BUG with Crossbow

I can't believe this has never been addressed it's so ridiculous.

When someone has a crossbow and they are NOT in combat, they can shoot the thing like a semi-automatic rifle. My brother can shoot it so fast it's like a machine gun, insta-killing anybody he targets that's not an NPC.

This bug also obviates the need for lockpicks to a large degree because he can just blow down doors and chests in seconds.

The problem seems to be there is NO reloading animation when out of combat using a crossbow like there is with a bow.

PLEASE Larian, fix this ASAP.

This is a known issue on our tasklist, it just did not get implemented in the latest patch' fixes; also I may be incorrect but if you do attack doors or chests you will still lose durability. However we know about it, thank you for the report though.

I think Crossbows need a bit of nerfing, this has nothing to do with that bug...or does it?

a crossbow should require a lower dex stat rqrmnt than a Self-Bow to use, but should cost more action points to actually use it, a crossbow should in no way approach the rate of fire that a self-bow can achieve, unless it is a Chu-ko-Nu and I am pretty sure it isnt one of those.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks
