Sorry in advance for long post but i needed to make a point of how infuriated i have become at this game
I cannot say exactly when/how this bug came to fruition but i do know its been going on for few hours at least during my current playthrough, given the fact i was noticing uncommon difficulty in defeating common/trash mob enemies.
My companions will not use their skills.
It took me a while to notice why i would keep dieing whilst playing in "action" mode and only come out unscathed when entering tactical for the entire fight. at first i thought the extremely stupid AI was just being further down the scale of stupidity but after several EXTREMELY frustrating attempts to just clear through 3 mabari and an archer i noticed the bug.
usually when i would engage in combat after a couple of seconds Cass would throw a taunt in and warcry shortly after, Viv would throw up barrier and a winter grasp here or there, Sera explosive shot/long shot.
Now for whatever reason the awesome code work Dice/Bioware threw together my companions are totally useless.
Viv still uses barrier and staff attacks but that just delays death, Sera only uses poison weapons and the defaults to auto. Cass, well Cass just auto attacks everything.
When im engaged in battle and start losing horribly i swap to tactical and switch through companions, All their skills (save barrier/poison weapons) are Up and ready to use(not in cooldown) and there Stamina / Mana is 100% (minus a small portion if viv or sera just used barrier/psn weaps)
Things i have / have not done:
No i have not messed around in ANY options before noticing this bug, i am to paranoid i may accidentally lower the difficulty down from nightmare and miss out on the achievements so since day 1 when i inverted "y" axis i have not touched the options.
No i have not put "x" next to all my companions skill in the tactics menu, thus disabling them from using said tactics. i even double triple checked this, even went in and "star"d a couple skills to make it "preferred". nothing happens still auto attack auto attack die.
Yes i have made sure in the behavior menu their reserve mana/stamina is low enabling them to use skills frequently.
Yes i have swapped companions (ironbull/varic/ect) same results auto attacks all around
Yes i have tryed reloading
Yes i have tryed loading OLD saves 5+ hours old. More auto attacks.
Finally i gave up and rolled a new char.
5 min into prologue after meeting up with varric/solas, the first time it gives you use of tac cam. i elect for rush in and attack. guess what. solas barriers, varric plucks away with auto attacks and cass charges in with another auto attack salvo we die horribly because i refused to use the tac cam to handle 4 enemys in the tutorial.
i have run through all the option and behavior menus to see if anything could be turned off or on and i have not seen anything that could result in this especially since i did nothing to insight these occurrences.
i have uninstalled and am currently reinstalling the game hoping but doubting anything will change.
if anyone has seen this occur or thinks i may have missed something i have not noted please let me know thanx.
Retour en haut
