The whole "npc can't do anything, waits full 30 seconds" problem has existed for years now, how come nothing has been done to fix this? I made the mistake of doing the sf scorpion spawn area quest and got stuck in a sewer with 5 minutes between turns. How hard would it be to have a "check if action possible, if not skip turn" line in there somewhere.

[BenKain]

Yeah, had this in the same place. Left and never came back...
Also stopped using TB, because of this and NPCs randomly jumping across the map, HtH me then bamf back to the other side.

Be happy only caves are bugged now. Years ago every NPC waited 30 seconds or more if they did not see you but combat was on. Now they skip turn.
Just +requesthelp, wait 20 minutes, JovankaB will kill the scorpions and you're done

It's not just caves, if i get surrounded by ants or something in a random encounter i have to wait for each additional npc that can't get an attack in.

That too, yes.

Maybe it will be fixed soon...

this bug with some NPC with spears which can't attack and stand in 8 hexes near their enemy

there was one i was in with some tribal type npc's that has already been reported as bugged. there were about 12 of them not doing anything as combat was active. about 10 minutes into trying to walk to the exit grid, something came up and i had to leave the house (think i went to the bar). so i said fuck it and exited from the game. the next night i logged on and was still in the encounter and it took another 10 fucking minutes to leave it. fml. aint mad tho

Female Tribals are among the worst freeze offenders.

Perhaps give all NPCs rocks in their inventory.

Maybe this will give them something to do if their melee script is bugged.

A temporary fix.

+1, Sounds like it would work to, considering all of the times this has happened to me, its been a melee npc. Though a swarm of ants (and a few of you know how big those swarms can get ) flinging rocks willy-nilly is a little scary.

Remember when cows could be used as grenadiers?

Everything should throw shit, make the player feel loved.
