What does it mean when Im cowering in fear?

In the Kero Sewers, enemy Boos sometimes use a Scream attack that makes one of my party members cower in fear with a purple aura around them. The scared party member can seemingly still fight like normal, so what does this cowering in fear state mean? Question from user Stevoisiak at stackexchange. Answer: When a character is afraid, their attack and defense is cut in half, meaning they deal only half damage to enemies and receive approximately fifty percent more damage from enemy attacks.

Statement from Larian

Regarding patch 4:. " In Patch 4 we introduced a fix that would prevent the Scrying Eyes in Moonrise Towers from immediately calling the guards on you when stealing, even if you were sneaking, or invisible for example. This fix had the unintended consequence of causing unnoticed thefts & acts of vandalism to remain stuck forever within the ‘did anyone see me’ pipeline, rather than timing out and moving on, as is intended. Essentially, your ‘DM’ - in a real-world sense - constantly thinks about the acts of . . . [More]

Can I progress without doing isobel’s fight encounter?

I think I’ve reloaded my save 6 or 7 times trying to save this & I can’t for the life of me make it happen. I think the closest I’ve gotten has been getting Marcus down to like 31 health but those flying things keep taking her out every time. Is there a way I can just get her protection spell then leave and make my way with a torch? Im convinced that at my current class and rank that this boss fight is unbeatable and don’t really wanna waste hours trying to beat it. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated . . . [More]

Why is this affair-filled solution to Love Revolution incorrect?

I am on the final chapter (Novels) of Storyteller. Stage 4 (Love Revolution) of this chapter has the title "Knight and Maid Murder the Monarchs and Have an Affair".

This short - long rest thing is annoying and makes no sense...

Full disclosure, I've never actually played D&D, but always wanted to. And I'm only about 5 hours into BG3. With that out of the way. what the hell? Why does just about every non-basic ability require you to short/long rest before you can use it again? You're really telling me my trained Paladin can only hit people with the pommel of his sword once before he has to take a nap? And can only do that a max of 3 times a day? And my trained wizard can only cast like 2 spells before he needs to nap too? I don't get the logic . . . [More]

How do I trigger the effect of the new item, Enduring Brooch?

According to the description in the game for the Enduring Brooch, it's:. A brooch that will prevent you from going down once per battle. But what exactly does it mean by "going down?". Does that apply to the character that has it equipped and prevents them from being knocked out? Does that mean the if everyone is knocked out, they come back? I had it equipped through some tough battles and the character that had it equipped still got knocked out like normal, and I still lost the battle when everyone was knocked out. . . . [More]
