Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Is Sidewinder Bugged?? Need help

As the title says:

I would like to know if it is bugged and not working as it should. As seen in the screenshots, I have it, but yet I am still getting a Flanking penalty... am I missing something?!?!

Any help is great and thanks in advance!!

Can anyone help me with this??

It could actually be just that they didn't update the flanking graphics and the defence value works fine.

I'm really not sure, the only people that would know well is those with access to the game files, might be more help to post in the mod forum.

Does it work against just 2 enemies? (I think I see 3 elementals in those pictures)

If so, it could be that it's working as intended, but the description is wrong. Or its bugged, and can't handle more than 2 enemies for some reason.

It's possible it just reduces the penalty by X%. The more opponents that flank you, the higher the defense penalty (I think). I've seen penalties ranging from 10-30%.

I've seen higher defense penalties as well, Gyson.

The in-game text states that it removes the flanking penalty, which means that I should not be recieving the flanking penalty like I am in the screenshots. If it reduces the penalty, then the describition should say it.

In any case, I am still confused if it is working as it should be, or if it is bugged.




If this is true, then they need to update the description. If it only provided it for 2 enemies, then I most likly would never have taken it and instead taken something more useful...

EDIT: If I am not mistaken, I still get it with having only 2 enemies next to me...

Agreed. Sounds like its bugged.
