Just don't cross any big bridges into any major urban centers is all I'll say.
I finished Act I without realizing it--only caught on when I noticed I had the achievment--but I was able to go back and do a couple of big things I missed once I was in Act II (I Completely missed
Raedic's keep and Eder
I guess the bigger question is if it's possible to lock yourself out of content via early progression?

List of bugs that everyone should know about (Game Breaking)
Kinda tempted to stop playing until a patch arrives.

Good stuff, especially last one. Such feminine beauty

Just did 3 out of 4, to me, available bounties. Good thing that heads are left even if bodies evaporate :b
The Dweller, Warchief Iklak and Sly Cyrdel. They were really easy for my level 9 party to deal with :s Bounty for Nalrend the Wise in somewhere called 'Elmshore', but I don't have it on my map. It's close to Twin Elms?

Oh wow, that's huge. I just checked and my level 4 Eder's defelction is.... 78. Time to start a new game, I suppose. I'm only 6 hours in so I should be able to get back here in an hour or so.
Yeah, same. I'm loving the game but I might just hit up Bloodborne and Axiom Verge until the first patch.
Decision to play Bloodborne first (for this very reason / fear) vindicated. Hopefully a patch isn't too far away.

I'm not at home, so I can't check, but this would explain why my Eder is basically untouchable as a tank.
His deflection being that high isn't impossible so I would go through his traits/equipment and see if it makes sense before you do anything drastic.

I just thought it was the good armor and shield. He would still take damage in the first dungeon in the town but now he barely gets hit. He might have like 5% endurance taken off during a fight. So I probably have this bug too.

Easiest way to figure it out is to strip him of all his gear and look at the stats.
This is is somewhat worrying. I haven't had anything happen to me yet though (12.5 hours in).

So I'm thinking of trying a Chanter. I notice that Constitution is one of their highly recommended stats. Is there something about their kit that uses endurance or health?
Man, I was like fighting the stuff in level 5 of the Endless path and everyone was getting fucking REKT. Except him. I mean he was, but not relative to everyone else. Fuck... I'm almost 20hrs in too!
47 @ level 4. It should be 25+3*4=37, right?
Edit: Scratch that, should be 25+3*3=34, I believe.
Edit #2: Nah, my deflection calculation is totally off. I just started a level 1 fighter and he has 27 deflection. Anyone know what the calculation is to figure out a naked fighter's deflection?
Yeah, every quick load in GV will trigger the bug.

Saves are taking like 30 seconds to process for me now. It's gotten progressively worse lately

FML. 20 plus hours in and I am pretty sure I have that bug. Can someone provide the easiest way to tell? I quick save a ton... :/
I like that the one where you go into the Keep in act 1 and get locked in because it crashes when trying to leave isn't even on that list.
Yeah, it seems I have this bug on Eder, the other companions are fine but his defense stats are too high, probably his defensive aura got applied multiple times when loading saves in Gilded Vale.
Not sure what to do, I'm 40 hours in and have no intention to restart, I hope they fix this retroactively otherwise I'll have to finish the game this way.

Ouch, some of these sound really bad. Luckily I'm not that far into the game.
I feel bad for Obsidian. They do the complex games very few other studios even attempt and one hand they have publisher who push for early releases, and on the other hand they have a very small budget to work with, both of which are going to impact the quality of QA.
Hope they get this stuff fixed fast.
Luckily I haven't bene hit by anything yet.

There's a workaround for this, though.
Unequip all gear from Eder and turn off the Defender ability if you have it. Check your deflection stat. It should, I believe, be equal to 25+3*(x-1), where X is his level.
Edit: My calculation for figuring out what his deflection should be is off. Anyone know what it actually is?
Edit #2: The calculation is 24+3*x where x is the character level.

Are you adding new saves all the time? I'm cycling the same 10 or so saves + quicksave. Some games really struggle with a huge save set. My saves still only take a few seconds.
I also have the game on my SSD. Probably helps with the saving.
Any loads.
Does this bug apply to him having defensive aura activated as well? Or just equipped armor that gives a bonus?

There's no publisher to blame here- but yeah, I just assume day 1 WRPGs are going to buggy to hell. I mean, somehow everyone in the backer beta missed the double click buff, so whatever, I'm just glad it's not troika level (or new vegas/fallout 3 level for that matter- at no point in the game so far have dead dogs appeared out of the sky to rain on my head in PoE).
Well any load will do it, but yeah just saving won't trigger it. You have to load into an area where the character was recruited in order to trigger the bug.
Maybe my save isn't too bad then.
I've saved a ton in GV, but I haven't loaded in more than maybe twice in the actual map for it. Mostly it's loading in the wilds around it or the Inn... I hope the Inn doesn't do it.

I suppose this is why Pallegina has over 100 Will even when naked. Most of my characters have defensive stats way higher than they should be now that I look at it. I suppose I'm just going to breeze through the game huh?
I highly doubt Paradox pushed for early/rushed release.

Here stats for my level 10 eder while being naked. Do they seem ok or bugged? To me they look somewhat too high.

Even counting defender aura that looks a little much.
She's a looker alright!
You know, maybe I was hit by this, because Eder seems awfully resilient. The couple of times my party has been wiped since I recruited him, he's always the last one standing, and keeps on dishing it out for atleast a minute before going down.
Hmmm, gotta check that character sheet.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
The new bug is ok because it just offsets the other bugs that neuter passives and break cipher focus
I'll have to check when I get home. The game hasn't been terribly difficult lately, but it's certainly not trivial and no one has crazy high attributes.
Man, it's gonna be a hoot starting a 2nd playthrough in the near future and not having to worry about stumbling into huge, character-mangling bugs

Obviously. It's been the story with them though. Publishers pushing for early release son previous titles, and of course a very tight budget here for Pillars. Pretty sure this game can't be made by a studio the size of Obsidian on 4 million dollars (minus taxes, minus backer rewards, minus kickstarter cut).

That explains why Eder and my Paladin never die in hard fights but everyone else in my party does...
Yea I add new saves everytime. I should probably cull that list.

So I'm assuming that means loading into the Inn or Windmill or Temple won't trigger it. Only specifically loading into the Gilded Vale map.
I may be alright for the most part then. *hmm*
Take off all his gear and any passive spells he has turned on and check his deflection rating. It should be 24+3*10=54. Edit: Wrong calc, should be 24+3*10+15+2+4=75.
Yeah, I tested the inn and neither Eder's or custom characters recruited at the inn's stats increased.
