Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Can we get the old version of detect magic back? I would love to be able to see if I can teleport or not. It made it an incredibly useful can trip where as now it feels unused.

I made a similar post asking about detect magic being made to interact with triggers from spells like "Alarm" and "Rorrick's Rune of Light."

That is a really cool idea.

I would just like to see it detecting once again whether an area is teleport blocked or not.

If you could detect an alarm spell and dispel it that would be really cool.

I'll poke Rasael about it. He might not actually be aware this spell is broken, as I don't see a recent QC report on it.

Is there any news on this?

It has been showing you if teleportation is blocked for a while now, when you cast it and appraise anything. If teleportation is blocked you get a message saying so in the combat log.

Don't know that it does anything else.

So you have to use the appraise feat on a random object to determine if an area has a ward blocking teleportation. This is very inconvenient. It was wayyyyy better before when it automatically told you. It was also much more intuitive.

Yes I think it's still not working if you have to do it that way. I hope it can be fixed to work the way it used to?

Any news?

This was fixed a while ago. Detect magic now utilises click (or tab) targeting followed by Appraise Creature, which will simultaneously reveal any zone wards present in the area.

I think we were waiting on the Detect Magic to work without appraising a creature to detect ward zones.

Yes because there are zones without anything to appraise.

Basically reverting it to how it was before would be far more convenient and functional.

appraise a item you have , that works aswel.
