All Activity

I was able to complete mission Brain Benders of Auntie's Choice without having first completed mission "bit of refreshing news" , which remained in the ‘rumors/hearsay’ section and never activated. At this point I’m about ten hours of gameplay later and I don’t intend to reload, but the fact that it’s still sitting in the list of unfinished quests is annoying.”

That's the trouble with losing a war, the longer you wait the worse the concessions will be. The worse the situation is on the ground for you the better it is for the other side and the more than can simply take. The situation on the ground for Ukraine, well, it isn't necessarily developing to their advantage. "But it's unfair" is irrelevant if it's the best offer you're going to get and the alternative gets progressively worse. If the rest of Donetsk and (the remaining .002% of) Lugansk are taken by force the next offer will be for Kherson/ Zaporizhia, then Dnipro/ Kharkov/ Odessa, then Sumy/ Chernigov/ Mikolaev. No one is negotiating for Crimea, now, because there's zero prospect of Ukraine being able to retake it and everyone knows that and, realistically, there's no negotiating for Lugansk either for the same reason. As soon as they're taken they aren't a bargaining chip any more.

That is what first put me off in Pillars 1. Reaching the city and having to choose between two factions without enough time to get a feel for things.

Same issue for me. Niles wont speak despite having the speech bubble. Nebulon is in the room. All of my saves are at this spot so no way to progress/go back. Please fix this.

This is just capitulation again with different words.

Uh...some deal there.

Well, I didn't enjoy my experience, though to be fair I did consciously refuse to initially engage with what was clearly a rather important choice. From my perspective my gripes would be that: 1) initial choice felt rather sudden and arbitrary and didn't provide enough context to commit to such decision (I do wonder why they didn't go with more traditional route of NPCs petitioning you to do something, and you fulfilling their request meant supporting their cause) 2) and coming from that not fulfilling that person's request (or even doing the complete opposite) seemed to have no effect whatsoever on either of parties involved. It's as if they cared more about me saying I side with them, rather then actually helping. Anyway, I think it is safe to say I have abandoned my playthrough as I feel no desire to go back, especially as it seems the first bit I already experienced haven't presented the game from it's best side. Will give it another go on a later date once I am more in the mood.

Just following up on this. Would really love to keep playing the game but I am just at a total standstill.

Note that the released documents will be redacted over the privacy concerns of the victims... supposedly. Even if DJT signs the bill, the documents will then (conveniently) need to be reviewed (slowly?) by the DOJ. Who knows how long that will take? We may never get the full truth, at least not for a few decades.

Hello, I'd really like to start a new game, but wanted to wait until the TBM has been fully released. Any information on when that might happen? Can't wait^^ love this game.

The achievement "Go Out With A Bang" is not unlocking. I play on Series X, but heard that it's an issue on all platforms. I have obtained the weapon and killed 3 enemies in a single shot many times (there is a group of 3 enemies immediately after obtaining the weapon), but it never unlocks the achievement. I tried reloading a save without perks that might have side effects, and sent my companions to the ship, and unequipped all of my other gear. This meant that my only perks were boosts to damage, so it should mean that the weapon was doing all of the damage. The achievement still wouldn't unlock. Is this a known bug, and is there a planned fix coming soon?

Just happened to me. Got the bug on discovery of Laplaces garden.

I just hit level 20 on the game. I have had the flaw Easily Distracted since around level 9. Every level so far I have gained 3 skill points to distribute. But I hit level 20 and now only have 2 skill points? Is this a bug or does easily distracted only work until level 19? Thanks.

Hmm. For some reason, I can't access the thread. Discord says I have "no text channels."

Same issue!!! This is ridiculous! Obsidian, fix it!

There was a patch note in the latest patch that seemed to suggest that this had been fixed. Just reporting that for me it has not changed anything. I am at the point of no return (main quest wise) and really would like to get this done before I finish the game ...

Hey mate, Just registered to thank you, this was exactly what I was missing and I thought it was bugged. Appreciate you!

Any idea when the next patch will be released? Are there really developers reading our messages? I'm stuck and my only save is 20 hours into the game. I really don't want to start all over again. Despite everything, I love this game and would really like to finish it.

For me Niles makes the explosive. But once inside nothing initiates. Zeb walks in and just stands there. nothing else. just stuck loading to there or losing 5 hours of gameplay which is a put the controller down and walk away sort of thing for me right now. id rather restart if i have to do all that and at the same time i dont wannt do any of that anytime soon. so i hope there is a fix soon.

It might sting the Americans a bit, always good to see them get so when they go to war with people that can't possibly resist. Won't be an Iraq level screw up though, at least.
