My PC following an NPC through a transition to talk to them will walk to some distant point in the next area before before attempting to talk to the NPC #654

Open SeanMJOBrien opened 2 weeks ago

SeanMJOBrien commented 2 weeks ago

Observed on Windows 10, and MacOS 14.6.1

Description: When my Pc is following an NPC into another area, my PC will automatically walk to some distant point in the new area without my command or consent and without any reasonable expectation for this behavior.

Steps to Reproduce using the attached save game:

  1. Load the attached save game.
  2. Order the Dwarf Worker to follow you.
  3. Take your new follower outside the entrance (where you start) next to the tree outside the Lair/Cave entrance.
  4. Talk to the Dwarf Worker and order him to go back to the Lair and HEAL himself.
  5. Right-click the Dwarf Worker but do not select anything.
  6. Wait until the Dwarf Worker walks into the cave entrance and count to 10.
  7. Select the Talk option from the Radial menu.
  8. If it does not occur you can try again by intercepting the Dwarf Worker repeating Steps 1-7 until it does. This repro worked for me 2/2 attempts.

Expected Result: Your PC will intercept the Dwarf Worker and talk to them.

Actual Results: Your PC will automatically walk across the area, ignoring the Dwarf Worker, until they reach some distant point near the Throne room.

v-- OLD --v Description: This is a weird bug where my NPC follower (not henchman) will will follow me through a transition and then walk to some point in the next area for no reason before resuming following my PC.

Observations: A. Exiting my Lair area causes this issue often, especially if I have multiple NPCs following me.

B. Once, my PC did this "sleep walking" without my interaction, and this is the reason I am reporting it.

  1. I was watching a goblin enter my Lair, I clicked to attack the goblin.
  2. The goblin walked through the cave entrance before I could reach it to attack.
  3. My PC walked across the Lair area from the right most map pin in the attached pic to the left most map pin.
  4. The goblin WAS killed by my Lair guard, but I don't think it was before my PC started walking. These two events happened within a second of each other.

Steps to Reproduce using the attached save game:

  1. Copy the attached PC bic to your localvault if needed, this PC was exported from the save attached game.
  2. Load the attached save game.
  3. Talk to the Dwarf Worker and order him to follow you.
  4. Walk through the gate next to you.
  5. If it does not occur you can also just walk back through the cave entrance back into the Lair area and repeat until reproduced.

NOTE: If I physically bump or get in the path of the NPC as they walk they snap out of it and follow me right away.

In case the save game is not sufficient, you can get the module, join the dwarf faction, and take the dwarf that exists when you start the game (you can use all default settings, and you just need a follower by joining any faction). https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwnee/module/rts-harvest-souls-enhanced-edition
