History correlation error

[coyoteazul]

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

Hi. I'm on chapter 3 and I decided to go to the braelys family place first. I finished the gahona post, talked with hatgatrun (i know i'm probably messing up the names, sorry) and basically did all of the braelys's side of the story.
Then I went to baron koda's place, killed the cult, the god and everything else. Then i went to visit the druid, and here's where the problem shows up, the druid mentions that hatgatrun had had a grandson, somewhere, but she didn't know where.
Since I had already talked with hatgatrun, and of course had heard of his grandson, the group should say that they had already heard of him. Or at least not act as if they didn't know anything about the matter. As it is now it seems that the story assumes I'll take koda's path first

Spoilers ended

I also found a gameplay bug.
1- start a fight
2- turn off the game before doing any movement at all
3- load the game
4- start tapping rapidly somewhere on the screen (i actually did it the first time by accident, but rapid tapping is better for reproducing the error)
5- the active character will walk to wherever you tapped as if he was out of battle mode (not showing the path nor consuming AP).

It seems that the game saves right before the battle starts, instead of after. So it allows the player to move  for an instant after loading the game but before the battle starts. Battle start seems to be unavoidable though

coyoteazul - thanks for the both reports. I am aware of the first one, and have an issue on the roadmap to back and rewrite that dialog to have two different ways of playing out. As you said, it was caused by the order in which the content was written, and one place where we have failed to go back and properly inject a branch in the scene.

On the other issue, can you share your device hardware type, OS, and OS version?

It's an lg l7-2, andorid jelly bean

Also, turns out battle IS avoidable. If the save was done before ungrouping for battle and you tap somewhere out of the battle area. It seems to me that the easiest solution would be to trigger an autosave when battle mode has already started. While the enemies are showing up, for instance.

Thanks for the information on your device. We will see if we can produce it here on our LG test device.

Hi, I've found a few more errors

For history correlation, I went to the otherworldly heaven with kea, and finished it with her. Kea got blind, daddy got mad. Then i went to the storm bothers bastion, killed both orcins, and got inside of the bastion.
I spoke to tyrae (i think that's her name, my memory is rather crappy, specially for foreign names) and the heroes asked to go to heaven, and this is where things go south

-For start, other worldly heave was destroyed when I left with kea, so either i shouldn't have been able to go back, or I'd find it completely wretched.

-Before deciding if i wanted to go or not, kyera mentions that kea was known for having the sight. No shit, I went to heaven with her, so they should already know that



-Then I got to heaven. No monster nor any sort of change that I could see. All chests were empty too, as if nothing had happened. When i wanted to leave heaven, instead of speaking about tyrae, kyera mentions kea. It seemed strange, but i thought it'd be a dialoge problem. I didn't foresee what happened next



-I went back to braely's city!? I had gone into heaven from the storm bastion, so either I broke the game, or you guys decided to give us some sort of teleportation system (which would be very useful if you did)



-From there on, things got worse. All monsters were back, but they were a lot weaker than me (this is my first play through, normal mode)



-Also all chests and stones were back


-Right now I'm getting back to the storm bastion to see what happens, but I presume I'll have to fight the orcin leaders again. If that happens, I'm dropping the game and starting from zero. I wanted to change devices anyways, so this saves me the process of moving the game. Orcins on that area seem to have had some ballet classes, because they dodge like ballerinas, which is very frustrating


-Not related to history, but after the orcin ambush when getting to the storm bastion for the first time, I died and restored. When I went back, before being ambushed,  the ladder tile was still there. After the ambush started, it changed into what seems to be a lava tile
Note: It may also be advisable to force the characters being close to eachother whenever there's an ambush. I left the group behind and triggered the ambush with outlander, who's more than capable of getting a lot of attacks by his own. Otherwise the purpose of the ambush is lost



-This one is about being too far from the enemy. I think it was on the right ladder, on otherworldy heaven. The one on the rightest is too far to be reached with arrows. Also it won't move, whatever you do. Even after killing all of his bros he didn't move. He only moved when I reached his south, when I was already being attacked by another group. Perhaps this was intentional?


-Another one about being too far. The battle started one tile over tamlin, way too far away from the enemy to reach them, even with bow. After I eliminted all the enemies within reach, there were still some enemies who would not move at all. I had to circle around, which took well over 10 turns, and I think I had to battle another group too (this happened long ago, i've been cut out of internet for about 3 months because my *** provider had to do who knows what technical stuff to install internet on my new home, and since they were already charging me, they didn't seem to hurry up at all)



Enemies didn't move until I reached this point

Thanks for all the posts and feedback. I will work on parsing this and figuring out all the possible bugs you have reported.

The first one is definitely a known bug. In some cases, you can get back into the Otherworldly Haven by talking to someone else after you've finished it the first time. I haven't been able to reproduce it, but do hope to fix the issue.

Quick update. After reaching the bastion, gates were red closed. By tapping on them i was teleported to the other side, no need to fight the orcins again. There was no dialog on the main house, not even about the flowers to reinforce the barrier (i have some, but not all flowers yet).
When I left, tyrae said good bye, and she didn't seem to be blind or anything (i don't know if she's supposed to go blind like kea on heaven. Please don't tell me). After leaving, monsters were back to the normal level. i forgot to check if that happened when I leveled up or right after leaving.
Btw, I love volpas. They die much easier than orcin

Thanks for the post. I am really hoping I can pin down and fix the issue with the Otherworldy Haven soon. What you've described fits within what I know of the bug. You can get it in by talking to someone else, but it doesn't do more harm.
