yea i am fucked ender doesnt have the defender ability and who knows what else is missing.. pretty huge deal. now not sure if i should restart although i am not keen of redoing everything i have done so far (i am not that far ahead but still..).
I'm still quite early on so it looks like the only thing I'm missing on my Moon Godlike main character is the Silver Tide racial passive. It's a pretty good one, though. My only other companion right now is Aloth and he seems fine.
Now to consider whether to restart or just take the hit.

I thought about it too, but ugh, 16 hours in. I'll just wait a few days for a patch -_-
I think the stone one is a shortcut and doesn't open early. You need to use the one behind the energy barrier that disappear when you kill the spider queen to go to level 2

No matter how many times I create a Cipher, intelligence radius bonus is still bugged. None of my spells show the additional graphical range when I hover with the skill.
Kinda bums me out as I'm really wanting to play/progress.

So, yea, took a better look and my PC is affected (only one). 20h in, no way I'll start again. Let's keep going and hope for a fix.
Not here, too good to be over, I'll just have to overlook this little blemish.

ah I still have my Death Godlike passive, well at least that means I haven't fallen pray to this bug.
at least there aren't any memory leaks or hard drive eating catastrophes
yet
And none of the reviewers noticed any of the bugs?
Next kickstarter is going to need an external QA stretch goal.
Yikes about that double click bug. Just checked my most recent save and all my passives are still active so how I managed to get lucky there I don't know. Then again my bumbling has been more to do with being waaay out of the cRPG loop for a while.
Got to Gilded Vale and instead of carrying on with the critical path I thought I'd poke my nose around and see what side stuff, quests and activities there are to do while I'm here. Bumped into Aloth and found my way to the Temple of Eothas. First floor was pretty simple and I though having a Wizard in the party had balanced things out a bit. The second floor on the other hand when I started bumping into Shadows I was getting wiped left right and centre. Eventual started to get my head together and started using scouting more, upon spotting an enemy leave Aloth behind, preferably out of sight around a corner or doorway and pull one enemy at a time into my trap. So after finally getting some sort of makeshift strategy together, and a hairy moment when I stumbled upon a small crowded room of the buggers (didn't have and ranged means of pulling so it involved a lot of running away and resetting) got the quest knocked out and was ready to push on. Then after picking up the current main quest again I happen upon my next companion. Urghhh well he would have come in handy and probably save a party wipe or 5.
Oh well with my tactics refreshed and a bigger party I went back and fucked up that
I think I might have been a bit too ambitious with a Hard-Expert run out the blocks. Still, loving every minute of it.

All in all that's not exactly a game-breaking bug, though my opinion might be influenced by the fact that I haven't had the opportunity to put dozens of hours in already like some people
Honestly, there aren't many developers I trust to stay totally blind on but Obsidian earned that right.
Ahh okay, that explains it. I'll probably keep reading all the ones I find then skip them on later playthroughs, some of the back stories are pretty great. Like in the Gilded Vale the guy who

I have been double clicking my ass off and I'm afraid of loading my save ti see if I have the bug. I have been doing so good so far too! Fuck restarting

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Hmm. I remember killing that, but I don't remember an energy barrier blocking a different path. I'll have to check it out again.
Because there's a bug that might negate a few bonuses?
No. The game is still the best RPG I've played in a very, very long time. Bioware's latest attempts fall woefully short of what Osidian has accomplished here.

Thank God I drag-dropped everything, that's all I'll say.
Not even sure I knew you could double-click.

I love Obsidian, but I also know Obsidian, so I'm waiting a few patches in before I play it.

I don't think I ever double clicked to equip something, but I can't be sure. .....damn it.
Meh, as I said, nothing game breaking for me yet. Also haven't been hit by this particular bug, and even if I was, not having a Dex + 2 from my race would have ZERO impact on my enjoyment of this game.
Hell add a bug that removes all bonuses period, this is still the best RPG of the decade. It's got just about everything else beaten by a mile.
Three and a half hours in, looks like "Towering Physique" is the only bonus I'm not getting (Coastal Aumaua Monk - so Towering LOOKS like it's the only bonus I'm supposed to have anyway).
Not sure if I'll restart or not, I fully intend on finishing the game on hard difficulty, and I'm already having enough trouble as it is

Look at your abilities in the character sheet and note which ones are passive. If those don't also show up under "Active Effects," you've got the bug (for that character, at least).
I never drag-and-drop in these games so this bug was pretty much tailor-made to fuck with players like me.
I'm only fortunate in that I'm still so early on; if I had a full party there is a 100% chance that every one of them would have been screwed in short order.
Did you test it out?I'm still quite early on so it looks like the only thing I'm missing on my Moon Godlike main character is the Silver Tide racial passive. It's a pretty good one, though. My only other companion right now is Aloth and he seems fine.
Now to consider whether to restart or just take the hit.
All of my characters have their racial passives not show up in the Active effects list, also my own Moon Godlike, but when I made my fighter take Moon Godlike's energy to <75% with a meaty greatsword strike, she triggered the racial heal wave like she should.
Same with the human fighting spirit passive when energy below 50% (in combat with actual enemies), and Wood Elf's 4+ meter ranged bonuses. Everything checks out
The one we know for sure to be affected is the passive that gives a 3rd weapon quickslot, but that might be because it's one of the only passives in game that changes the menus. A possible combination of 2 bugs that manages to actually affect the game
I have expert mode enabled, and the only thing I really miss is AoE indicators for my spells. It's hard not to blast friendlies without them, you have to basically mess up a few times and get a feel for when the spell's going to land. I enabled the option to turn them on in the menu, but it doesn't seem to have done anything :-(

His nickname was "Shakes", and the memory ended by saying he started to shake uncontrollably or something along those lines, so I assumed he was the kid.

It doesn't matter who makes the RPG. All RPGs worth a damn have bugs on day 1. It's unavoidable considering the scale of it and all things that intertwine.

So, if all my characters still have their racial benefits, I'm safe?
These folks saying it's now officially an Obsidian game are off their rockers. This is one of the most polished RPGs in some time.
Dragon Age: Origins? Very buggy at launch. Still some unfixed bugs to this day.
Dragon Age: Inquisition? Super buggy at launch. When I played some equipment didn't even work (I'm looking at you, Rings.)
Skyrim? No multi-core support at launch, giving terrible performance for a good portion of folks. Don't even get me started on some of the bugs, too.
I could go on and on. Not to mention, these games had budgets twice or even triple the size of PoE, with external Q&A to boot.

Yeah, I really should've waited a good two months before playing.
I knew this would happen, but I couldn't help myself. With Wasteland 2's big upgrade coming, it feels as if I can't play half the games I want these days. Time to get back into Attila I suppose.
When is the W2 unity upgrade coming on PC?
