Aspect rewards are per-realm. So if another of your characters has already finished that dungeon and unlocked the aspect, it will not show any aspect reward for a different character.
As for not getting the renown progress, is it possible that you've already done that dungeon with the current character?
No, you can make a seasonal character straight away. The restriction is that you can't access the seasonal content (malignant gems, malignant quest line) until you've finished or skipped the campaign with that character.
Is it possible that allowed her to choose seasonal when she set it up? She can’t remember what she chose.
Unless the character was created pre-season, there's nothing that would stop her from selecting seasonal realm on character creation. It's also the default for new characters.
The most likely answer is "she created a seasonal character".
Oh yeah, I found it - it's the mask thing that the Skeleton character can make: https://divinity.fandom.com/wiki/Fane%27s_Mask_of_the_Shapeshifter
I seem to remember the shapechanging helmet from one of the other games. Was it a thing in D:OS2?
Druid creates the basement. Barbarian kills the rats in the basement.
That one's a side-quest dungeon with a fixed layout. For the "By Three They Come" quest, judging by your quest journal.
Seems nothing we can do actually affects the landscape. Even the druid's "landslide" doesn't actually do any environmental damage.
The same way that the basements are 10 times bigger than the houses themselves.
I've played all the classes (a couple to 70+, others to 50). My favourite so far has been Barbarian with Hammer of the Ancients smashing everything. Very satisfying and once you get fury sorted then it's just smash, smash, smash.
Looks like that's a feature of the mod. It makes the game more like D2, so levels will be reloaded and mobs respawned each time you enter the game.
Progress is "saved" by reaching waypoints. You shouldn't have to clear the whole level, just make it far enough that you reach the next waypoint. There should be one on every second level.
Hmm. Which dungeons would those be? As far as I'm aware, all the main dungeons give an aspect as a reward the first time you complete them. These will also count towards the renown goal.
