get out!

have you looked for secret doors?
some of the characters merely notices secret doors (elf)
others must actually search for them

you can use knock on the door,
detect secret in the room

another thing, try to switch in combat mode by pressing C and try to walk through the door. I notices in combat closed doors are not always blocking the party. Going through them does not always open them either (you might simply pass through)

Those bugs should *never* make it to the release of a game. It 's a shame. I blame both the developper and the publisher for it. The developper for it's inability to respect its deadline and the publisher to allow this kind of crap to go out.

I just walked through the door. Only certain members of my party could. They were a sorcerer and rogue. Dunno. They are lvl 6.

Well aslong my people have the robes they can pass, otherwise they cant.

game design

althought I really understand the mechanism of this thing, the reason why it could have been a good idea to build a dungeon this way,

In game design, it is *vital* that the player knows or gets clues of what is happening to keep him focused on the game, and not boring him. In real life you would have needed to find a way or die in this room. In a game, you can just say too bad and play another more interesting game. Since this game is so bugged, the player have no faith if being locked in a room is normal or not.

They could at least put some spiffy magical effects on the door and on the PCs that have the robe so you get some clue they're connected. testing on if you get in with the robe, you can most assurely get out with since you have the thing with you.

Also, I just imagine the 4 elemental factions building/fighting the temple together. They wouldn't have finished yet and they would all be dead. So is the nature of the chaotic evil.

I also find strange that nobody around ever saw the cranes, the construction trucks, the mixers and the cantinas swarming all over the place during construction.

Oh it's true it's so ancient that no one recall, was there man there at this time? then who built it? Oh maybe it just grew out from this secular ancient evil spot of land.
