Bug Description:

Cannot control character while game is calculating the actions for a fatality if pathing to stunned NPC is cut off

Bug Reproduction:

  1. Engage in combat with 3 or more NPCs
  2. Cause 1 NPC to enter stun animation
  3. Accidentally interact with stunned NPC that allows a fatality
  4. If other fighting NPCs are in the way, such as: stunned NPC in middle, attacking NPCs slightly in front and on both sides it will cause character to attempt to run forward and be stuck
  5. While running forward, cannot disengage, cannot attack, cannot perform fatality, meanwhile attacking NPCs are damaging character
  6. I have to unequip weapon and wrench myself out of the combat usually unsuccessfully as I’m being beat on relentlessly

Unable to provide a video.

On Pc, Do you experience a character freeze when you revive your NPC?

On exil map,
When you are with 2 NPCs, does the second one go on strike for no apparent reason?

I have not had a thrall go into DBNO yet, but I will take note.

Additionally, have not travelled with 2 yet either.

on my side I have a lot of lag

The fatal blow can even be carried out 1 minute later…
and this seems to interfere with the NPCs
With a horse, this cancels its following distance setting
The horse comes to position itself in your feet

The horse being bigger than me, I can’t step on it like I would with my cat

So I die, stupidly

Ya this is something I would expect with lag. While lag does happen often enough especially being a Beta server, I was careful to note if this was really what was happening here. No evidence so far of lag being the cause.

The accidental nature of interacting is part of my avoidance to not initiate a fatality. I cannot stand them and do everything I possibly can but sometimes it happens where I do click within the range of interaction.

Experiencing the same issue, or similar issue. Player character will not respond to commands to use deployed weapon but will allow movement and rolls. This occurs when fighting multiple enemies but does not necessarily seem to require the the stun animation.

Greetings Kikigirl!
Thank you for sharing this report with us!

Could you tell us which weapon were you using when you’ve experienced this issue please?
Additionally, do you know if this happens no matter which weapon you’re holding?

We’ll be waiting for your reply!

Hammer and Katana, so both 2 handed. I’ll update if it happens with others.

If the OT bug is true, the issue should be avoided by implementing a sort of time-out for the fatality. If the system cant make it happen fast, fatality should be ignored. Much better option than being frozen.
