Title: [Rogue] Spoiler observations about the Treants and some hidden Observations
Post by: garr on July 21, 2014, 04:50:21 AM

Doing the bird cage quest before the Treants causes them to burn.
Getting message to meet Kayanna past the trees, then doing bird cage before meeting her, the trees burn.

I wonder if as a Rogue, the pine cone is necessary. It's obvious the bird cage thing causes the Treant to burn. Could it be that the tree must be burned? Or is it a bug that happens because of the bird cage quest?

As a Rogue, what are the different ways to burn the tree since it's obvious it's going to happen before or after the bird cage quest? I wonder what the Cheat book has to say about all this?

Yes you can get them the pine cone. For fire, think about what is normally required to set things alight. Lighting a match on a live tree won't work in real life, for instance.

This settles it!

The Treant isn't supposed to catch on fire.

Once you accept the bird and cage quest, DON'T do it just yet.

Fool around and get the message to meet Kayanna beyond the trees. Obviously you do need the pine cone to get past the Treant. Once you get the necklace from her, go ahead and do the royal seal pieces and get thrown in jail. Before doing the moonshiner quest for Raymond, instead go get the bird cage for the thief master and give it to him. Now you can walk past the Treant without igniting it. You can go in the fortress but you just get thrown back out. Seems as if the bird cage quest causes the Treant to burn if you go there before meeting Kayanna. This appears to be a major bug to fix while playing as a Rogue.

So just continue with the Moonshiner quest!

There IS a way to burn the treants in order to get past them without getting the pine cone, but yes--the situation you're describing was definitely a big bug.  We've already fixed it in the source code, so this shouldn't be a problem after we update the game.  Thank you for your patience!  Sorry you ran into this!  :)
