Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity

[Sir Slash]

Sorry Rayfer. But it was worth it.  :-X

[Sir Slash]

So I go into an inn and for 250cp, hire myself a nice Priest to help-out with healing stuff in combat. Then go into the wilds and what's the first thing I run into? A priest wanting to join-up with me. Are the folks at Obsidian watching me play and think this is funny?

MINOR SPOILERS

LOL....I had the exact same thing happen. Ended up dumping the one I created in favor of the pre-made one who has a quest that comes with him.

Hey what the hell same thing happened to me too. I made a second fighter because my main character is a fighter for some brawling and of course the first NPC I run into ....another fighter

From what I've read, the ones you find aren't as good as the ones you create.

I wouldn't know personally, because I quit playing until they fix the repeating-sound bug.  You can supposedly hotfix it by turning tutorial tips off, but I just started this game, I don't want to turn tutorial tips off.  You can also hotfix it by saving and loading, but that takes about a minute and the bug will just come back.  It's a nasty bug a lot of people are running into, so hopefully they will get it ironed out soon.

Seems to be just me but so far it hasn't really grabbed me like Divinity original Sin did. Though not played that much..pretty much done everything needed in the first village with the hanging people, though finding one part particularly difficult. Not sure if I need more than three characters to do it or supposed to be higher level.  Anyway it's OK but as I said not really wowed me yet.

Too bad about the sound bug....I haven't experienced it. The characters I create do seem better than the pre-made ones you meet along the way...problem is they usually come with a quest that you won't get unless you take them on.

Looks like my game is on hold until the patch now as well.

I'm at a point where I'm facing down a bunch of ogres, druids, and ogre druids and they keep casting insect swarm.  There's a bug (no pun intended) with that spell in that it doesn't go away even after combat ends.  You just keep getting stung until you die.  You can save, back out of the game, and then reload and it clears but the damage persists.

My created Priest was Level 1 but the one I picked-up for free was Level 2. It can't hurt to have 2 Priests. The toughest part so far for me was the destroyed temple in the Hanging Tree city. At first it was tough as leather nipples but slowly progressed until finding the needed items to complete the quest. I didn't need to go into every room and kill every enemy but hate not doing it. I'll have to come back around later and finish it properly. I got the black dog too but he doesn't do anything but follow me around. At least he doesn't bark all the damned time like my dog companion in Skyrim.

I haven't gotten that far into the game yet...it's disappointing to read this, I'm really into this game big time.

Tried to fire up the game a few minutes ago but found it was updating on Steam....the patch notes seem to address many of the issues noted in this thread.

[Steelgrave]

Excellent news! I haven't encountered any troubles so far, but heading them off is welcome.

[glen55]

Most importantly, the new patch apparently finally allows bears to wear hats.

[Gusington]

^Exactly what I was waiting for.
