Bug Description:

As part of his introductory quest, Liu Fei appears at a transportory stone in my base. Problem is that his ghostly form is tangible, stands in middle of the T.stone, and physically blocks me from using my own transportory stone. He also doesn’t vanish after I speak with him, but stays in the same spot. I managed to work around it but I dont see why he needs to be tangible, or at least stand smack dab in middle of the transportory stone. My base is fully enclosed and uses that portal as the only entry, so this is important. He vanished after I moved forward in the quest.

Liu Fei also has another “bug”, when his ghostly form appears in your base, he yells and combat music starts - as if Liu Fei was a common enemy and was aggroed by your presence. Although he doesnt actually move or attack in any way, the combat music keeps playing for as long as he is present.

Bug Reproduction:

Have a home base with a transportory stone, and be in the second part of Liu Fei questline (not on cooldown). He should appear in the portal to be talked to.

Interesting, last night Braga (the dialogue NPC in Mounds) yelled a battlecry at me. I’m sure if I had music on I would have heard the combat music too

Yeah, I think Liu Feis quest has some unintended consequences when it comes to dialogue NPCs. I think I can guess why this is, but it involves spoilers from Liu Fei’s quest.

Basically I think the cause is that they are using same model for both a dialogue NPC and an enemy, and this has some unintended consequences, like having these dialogue NPCs trigger combat state as if they were enemies. Since dialogue NPCs cannot move, they dont do anything besides yelling and having combat music.
