Is the FPS drop in
a common thing? I was always 60 FPS until I got to this place
Defiance Bay
what about the character stat bugs?!?!
Those are probably priority number 1 I imagine.

Just encountered a weird bug in Brackenbury where
Hopefully reloading an earlier save will fix it.
the Sanitarium doesn't react properly to all hell breaking loose. There are a bunch of wichts standing still with their arms out that I can't trigger, and then when I go upstairs the friendlies attack me.

From the devtracker, here's who wrote which companions:
completed Durance's and Grieving Mother's personal quests, both are really well done. Durance's quest conclusion in particular is pretty great. I definitely recommend having him in your party
my main character is suddenly doing less damage and the natural DR with talents doesn't stack up to where it should be, looks like I was hit with a bug as well that disables the talents. Carnage still seems to work though

Yep, people have talked about this. I think the solution someone mentioned was
not killing a guy who you really want to kill at the end of a certain quest. If you don't kill him then you're good. I guess. I'm not there yet.

I got that one, reloading and
not killing that one animist for his crimes
I'd like to know all the VAs too
Great news, I want to keep playing Pillars but it's almost impossible for me with how long the save times are.
I believe they already said the patch would fix that.

I believe that both the double click bug and the stat stacking fixes were confirmed yesterday to be in the patch.
Chris Avellone's characters are just so damn unique. You know when it's his writing, every time.
Just want to report that the difficulty HAS ramped up again now that I've advanced forward. I just out leveled a lot of the content in and around Defiance Bay with my massive amounts of side questing. Still nowhere near where it was in the beginning, but I'm once again facing battles that I would've lost without good use of the right spell at the right moment.
Still, Obsidian may want to tone that down in a future patch. And I still miss my high level BG2 wizard wars.

Woo, just finished the game. Despite some issues, I'd say Obsidian knocked this one out of the park.
I don't really want the game to get easier in that manner.
What difficulty are you playing on?

Fixed Eder with cheat engine, headed through the rest of the game, thought that even with his normal stats Hard mode's difficulty was frontloaded. Then I ran into (act III spoilers)
Raedric 2.0. I must be missing some kind of charm/will defence set up, because he wrecked me so many times before I manage to get off a few aoe/cc spells. Still ended in a potion chugging race with eder versus Raedric and another fampyr. That's more like it.
Sun is just another big flaming whore for Durance

It's comin'!
(The fix referred to here that's not included is cosmetic, relating to the tooltips and log for damage over time not displaying properly.)
Well I dont missed spending 5 minutes buffing.

Is there any penalty for using a ranged weapon and being right next to an enemy/your target/engaged? I just realized I've been assuming there wasn't, but there might be.
If not then man, guns might just generally be the best weapons in the game for everyone.

The game shows combat rolls, so it won't be difficult to figure out.
The main probem with guns is that they have an immense reload time, and a noticeable accuracy penalty. High deflection enemies will eat you for dinner.

Just got to that part myself.
Let us know what happens! Hilarity will ensure, I'm certain.
Just the danger of being interrupted.
UncleSporky

I guess what I mean is, it's a very bursty game, you want to take things down as quickly as possible, so if everyone takes a +1 weapon set talent and goes into combat with at least 3 high damage guns each and switches after every shot...it's very micromanagey but that'll burst the packs down to just a couple of guys pretty quickly.

This is a best-case scenario where enemy spellcasters don't exist, no ranged enemies are a problem, and you're not in danger of being swarmed. That's without bigger problems like DR or interruption.
Guns have their place, but I don't think it's worth building an entire team around 'em.
Older RPGs don't do level scaling stuff like that, they're generally made with a flow in mind of you being roughly a certain level at certain points.
It's great because sometimes things wreck you good.
Turns out that the tracker just hadn't updated yet. Assuming the clearance was just updated at the end of the day along with a billion other packages I'm guessing.
The backer portal still says mine is Shipping Soon.
all gods say that we have deal when I talk to them again, but I can only I can only have one boon at a time. I suspect bird lady will haunt me in the expansion for not upholding my part of the bargain, but probably not the others sadly
I know, but I remember reading somewhere that the main quest would scale a bit. Guess they scrapped that.
Super slow attack speed and interruptible reload phase. I had Eder go against my main character first with a Fine Pistol, then Fine Estoc. He's proficient with both weapons
With Fine Pistol, despite my main character being very heavily armored, he got 3-5 hits off for every pistol shot, and the fight wasn't even close, Eder went down quick and my Watcher had a lot of HP to spare. With Fine Estoc however, it was actually close
I dunno, with just one talent and a chanter the reload times get pretty damn low. Getting a firing squad together stomps just about anything.
Also, Durance is a priest of Magran, and as such gets +10 to accuracy with arquebuses. Even the gods want you to roll with guns.
RPGCodex had the best April fools joke this year.

Lol, I didn't even know that I gave him a Burning lash Arquebus for roleplay reasons.

Christ, Durance is so powerful. These fourth level powers I just unlocked are bananas.

What do you mean, enemy spellcasters don't exist?
My main is a rogue and he's my MVP right now because he one shots every enemy mage at the start of every battle with his blunderbusses. Enemy casters is probably a best case scenario, since guns are ranged, pierce their magical defenses, and they generally have low defenses anyway.
And you say "bigger problems like DR," as if guns weren't specifically designed to bypass huge chunks of it. Every gun I have ignores 4-6 DR.

Hrm... you make a good point. I was thinking more of some battles I've had where some spellcasters completely debilitate my party right off the bat, leading to a slow, gruelling encounter.
Durance got nothing on Hiravias, imo
gunsquad is a really effective strategy, btw. All my caster have improved accuracy with fireweapons and with the fast reload chant and a certain weapon-improving 3rd level chant my party wrecks most enemy encounter
