I was a day EA player and I very distinctly remember the first time I encountered this. The fishers around it were mind controlled to clear away rubble and dig it out, which is a very clear reason. You could absolutely just shoot the thing in the face with your bow, and they would all shake it off, be upset and confused by what was going on, then walk away. No muss, no fuss. The rest of your commentary is pretty overstated, in my opinion, but that's just a matter of opinion, so we can just have our different takes on how dark it was and the degree to which the companions were more of a pack of jerks back then compared to launch... but this is just flat out untrue.On a different note: As someone who 100% agrees that DOS 1&2 had some seriously jank mechanics and a lot of setting issues, I also 100% agree with Vinke that they're better than the D&D 5e rules and the FR setting. Also lol @ at the idea that FR isn't just as edgelord grimderpy as Rivellon ever was. It's literally just a super-generic fantasy kitchen sink where everything is crappy and tragic, but with bright colors so for some reason, people don't seem to notice it. FFS, the author-insert great hero of the setting literally looked his own daughter in the eye and said "Might makes right, so do as I say, or I'll kill you." I'm barely even paraphrasing.</blockquote>
