chatumao Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hello, just got into 2.04 in Saint Lucia. I thought I report this so it may be noted and possibly improved at some point. I killed the first guard that is standing in the tunnel, not hiding the body. The second one patrolling the church court yard has a lantern. He noticed the corpse and went over to check it out. In order to draw his weapon (I reckon), he dropped the lantern. I think he should pick it up again after he returns to his routine/exits combat mode. Thanks for your time and thank you for this release! Kind regards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldjim Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 As an aside - playing Knighton Manor it would appear that a guard was slightly alerted (I wasn't aware of it) and dropped the lantern on the grass near to entrance to the woodshedFortunately I had a water arrow left to take out the nearby torch otherwise I would have been stuckHow the guard became alerted I have no idea given the stealth score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that, the lanterns stay dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that this AI was alerted by something other than the player. Those types of alerts don't count toward the stealth score.

AluminumHaste Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 This is reasonable behavior, but we don't have an animation for the AI to retrieve a dropped lantern. Without that, the lanterns stay dropped. The kneeling animation for checking dropped weapons might do in a pinch, and just teleport the lantern to the AI's hand?
