Possessor Lua error on assuming a form, unable to ever exit
Posted: Wed Dec 25, 2019 4:38 pm
So, I sent in a bug report when I got the error itself in game with the popup, but I'd like to give any additional info here/look for ways to not have a playthrough get bricked in future.

I've since made a few new characters, not sure if that would make grabbing extra info on it harder or not.
Halfing ruins complex either the second last, or last level. Was activating one of the pedestals that you use to summon the bringer of doom, ended up with an elite doomed human with 2 whip looking things as weapons and a robe. Upon assuming his form (the moment I "confirmed" the skill selection page) the Lua error popped up saying there might be issues with the game from that point on. Turns out what it meant was I was unable to EVER leave the body I'd just inhabited. Can't use assume form to get out, so no changing forms, healing, putting on gear etc. Even trying to let the form die would just kill my character at the same time, and the same form would end up in the shadow realm where I died, still unable to swap out of it. Even at the end of ends, when I brought myself back via blood of life it STILL kept the form.
After some googling the only relevant info I found was this post on steam forums from 2017 which matches what happened to me exactly, though with no responses.

So uh, yeah, hoping I can provide some extra light here on the error as it's really scaring me to do more runs of it and have them brick part way through.
Either way, thanks for the great game, this is my first bug/crash/error of any kind while playing for almost 40 hours now and it seems like a VERY rare bug itself so props for the almost bug free experience so far!
