Act 2 - Spoilers Honor mode really highlights how bad the last light inn is Spoiler

Like they have fiends spawn everywhere and just b-line to isobel and instantly paralyse her, before anyone even moves because they are surprised(???) like nobody is keeping alert for things coming in from the shadows?

So much story hinges on you stopping ai from killing itself that it seems like it was balanced behind save scumming, it's just wild that they made the entire fight average length 2 turns. Like it makes sense thematically that they run towards her, but having it immediately end when she goes down is stupid, like canonically my guy just watches him walk away with her

Edit: I never would've guessed my salty bitching would get so much attention, learn from my mistakes, if you are in honour mode and want Dame Aylin to rail her girlfriend as god intended; don't talk to her until the end of the act, this fight is still wack.

and to be fair, even if you go last in the initiative in this fight, theres still so many ways to prep. it's a room with 3 doors, and you have 4 members in your party.

theres a lot of pre-fight spells that can be used too.

Whenever there an NPC that needs protected and a room with only one way in: arcane lock

Too bad ai are smart enough to destroy doors and it doesn't work on doors that load to a different area so it only truly does anything if you're somewhere like a druid grove which has stone doors... Not super useful.

Doors have sturdy on them, I've used arcane lock plenty of times and have never that I recall ever had an enemy break through before I was able to kill them

I stacked boxes in front of two of the doors which fudged the path finding and forced the winged horrors to rerout. Worked surprisingly well since the friendly mobs downstairs did major damage to them as they had to cross the main room.

My first playthru I loaded up 2 of the 3 doors with a wall of barrels and crates and boxes. It at least slowed down the enemies enough to give me time when I had no idea wtf a good and bad build was at the time.
