That's the end of the quest, although Eder will have a couple more conversations about it with you later on and it seems like it might change his reactions and dialogue a bit about some stuff toward the end of the game.
Nope. I want to say it's about halfway through.
I started the fight by killing the two casters as fast as possible with Eder on the dragon then off-tanked/killed all the xaurips with summons, summons, summons. I used five figurines, Essential Phantom, and chanter summons. The hardest part was the dragon's terrifying aura (I think?) which repeatedly nuked my entire party. Drank a lot of potions. On my second-to-last attempt I got it down to near death with my entire party dead except Eder, who did practically zero damage, but he wasn't able to kill it before I ran out of potions. Bummed me out.
Did you learn the Scale-Breaker ability? It was really useful for applying debuffs past its defenses and then burning it down once I got it alone.

A while after I had that dialog, they both had lines about how his hand was swelling up and looking purple. She said that she had told him so, and it was his fault for petting it. The attention to details like that really make the game.
Yeah, I imagine it shouldn't be hard to do that.
I'm now checking my charactes to see if they are bugged or not and I already see that I can't deactivate the Defender mode on Eder. And in general...yeah, he seems hella broken as far as stats go.
He has 82 Deflection before items. Even if I take the 15 deflection from Defender away, it's still 67 base deflection and with his mediocre Resolve and Perception, that's not right at all. He should have 57 with Defender active.
He did look like his defensive stats were too high compared to my main character that has pumped up Perception and Resolve.
He is, however, the only character with that issue. I don't know what to do about that, I could keep on going and just take him out as soon as I have a party member to take his place.
I don't want to stop playing the game, but it's pointless to play at Hard difficulty in this condition.

What's the console command to reset a character and does that fix the saved game bug where you keep getting stats?
I was rolling around with the Black Hound as a pet, when Eder suddenly goes "Don't you think we should get a second dog? You know, so he has someone to play with."

Man, even just super early on you have the one little side quest with
This is just a dinky little quest but I've had to actually stop and think on how I want to resolve it because, oh my god, I've been given multiple choices on how to resolve it. Holy shit, I think I've been playing modern BioWare games for too long because this one little quest has more ambiguity and choice in it than most of DA: Inquisition did for it's quests.
And woohoo, I got my big collector's edition box in the mail today!

Is there a real ETA when this patch is gonna hit? All I'm finding is "Sometime this week"
All this talk about people getting the boxes just reminds me that as far as I can tell Obsidian hasn't even shipped mine yet. I finally sent of an email to them asking for an eta we shall see how long it takes for them to get back to me. Also even with how annoyed I am at some of the bugs I still feel drawn to keep playing this game.
Scale-Breaker? Damn, I just looked that up on the wiki and it looks like it would've helped a lot. Where/when do you get it? I just got to Twin Elms in Act 3.
And do you know what level you go to for
Kana's Quest
Same here. The e-mail I got said estimated delivery today or tomorrow, so maybe it'll just show up tomorrow.
With all the bugs and stuff I decided to drop my difficulty to normal. I'm just going to play for the story this time and I'll just switch to PotD next time. I'm pretty sure my Eder is stronger then he should be.
At the same time the rest of the NPC just suck imo. I was hoping that I had finally found a second tank after getting Pallegina but she just sucks. She dies so fast. Terrible fucking stats. Same for Aloth, he could be so much better. Kana is alright. Durance is good.
I think next game my party will be PC, Adventurer, Adventurer, Adventurer, Druid NPC, Ranger NPC.

yup this was my concern too. If you can't lock out old content it makes me wonder why there are different acts - it's just arbitrary
Amazing.

Checked my characters and all appears fine except for Eder, who has unexplained bonus RES/PER.
He doesn't have insane Deflection?
I think that's usually what he gets because of his modal ability.

Can't believe they'd rip off Divinity: Original Sin like that... though, yes, it's probably a coincidence. And I'm joking.
It only gets worse on the top floor haha
Or does it?

It does seem high, but I don't know how to calculate Deflection properly. It's about 60 with all gear off and modal switched off at Level 6.
Which one?
I'm pretty sure my entire part has been effected by the "Double click equip" bug that causes them to lose certain passives, though I don't feel like restarting.
How many recruitable NPCs are there that have unique stories? Is it just 5, or will I at some point have to choice who I take with me?
Shake Appeal
Member
I think it's eight. One for each class except
Barbarian, Monk, Rogue.
Try to switch the modal off and on and check if your Deflection changes. For me it doesn't, for example, the effect is always active.
60 is kinda high anyway.
Base fighter Deflection is 25+3*(level-1).
Eder gets a +2 from Resolve so it should be 42 at level 6.
This one: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/73...llowing-stats-to-grow-beyond-intended-values/
Simply, if you save and load a game in the same location you recruited a character, that character's stat-boosting gear will boost their stats by the respective amount every single time you load.
So say you have +x Deflection/PER gear on Eder. Save and load a bunch of times at Gilded Vale and suddenly your Eder has monster Deflection and becomes basically unusable unless you want to trivialize combat.
It's a bug

My Eder has a base of 94 deflection at level 4. lol
If you've already completed the Endless Paths then I think you've missed it. You have to pass speech checks with the adra dragon and say you're going to help set it free. It'll send you to fight a dragon-slayer, who you can then double-cross the dragon to and warn instead. She'll teach you the skill as thanks.
If you killed the adra dragon, though, I seriously doubt the other ones in the game will give you any trouble without Scale-Breaker. Those fights are pretty simple by comparison.

Yeah, I guess I'll stop playing until they patch these known bugs. So far I have faith these should be patchable without restarts. I have ignored Bloodborne since this came out and Axiom Verge is tomorrow too...so I guess a break will be okay.
Mine is 59 at level 5... bugged?

All the praise about Grieving Mother is spot-on. And I've only just encountered her.
Edair's charm is overwhelming, though. His voice actor really sells the role.
In many ways, Pillars of Eternity is proof that Obsidian cares.

I'm just going to sit on the character creation screen for a while and sketch up characters, I think. 
I've just created a level 6 fighter adventurer and she has 43 deflection (with no equip nor aura), so it's plausible

You can fix the double click bug by dismissing the member and re adding them.
My stats are for Eder that has +2 deflection from his Stats.
A Fighter has a base of 40 Deflection at level 6.
On top of that you have to add the Perception and Resolve bonuses.
If you have very high Per and Res you can get about 16 to 20 bonus Deflection.
But Eder with no modal and no equip on should have 42.
For other chars you have to give me their Perception and Resolve.
See, for example here his Eder is fine Deflection wise.
Alright guys, I've been out of town over the weekend so I finally get to start up Pillars of Eternity.
What class do you think I should play?
I think I've narrowed my choices down to a melee cipher, druid, paladin tank, or rogue.
Which ones are the most fun to play? Which ones have the most utility?
Also, does anyone have the links to the various portrait dumps?

Him and Aloth are my favorites. I thought Aloth was going to be your typical arrogant elf mage, and he kinda is but I still like him a lot

Has there been any info on how these stat bugs affect Spiritshift? Because the power and duration difference between my MC and the companion druid is immense, in my MC's favour. The companion's form lasts like 10 seconds at best and does garbage damage, whereas the MC's is like 30 seconds of total domination.
Druid. Control or annihilate from afar, and then close in and obliterate whatever remains with your spiritshift.

Does anyone know why the V
backer NPC is in the GAF inn? Did they specifically request that spot or does no one know who they are?

Compare your levels and INT values. If I recall correctly that's what affects duration in general...but disclaimer, I haven't played a druid yet so I don't know what else can affect it.
