Yup, same problem here.

Happens to me too, only I've never noticed any difference regarding location. And in my case, it's just the PC that has this issue, with the companions it works as it should.

I thought that was just Aloth sarcastically imitating Iselmyr?

Validating game files didn't help, restarting Steam didn't help. Restarting the computer did. Go figure.

Can confirm it still happens.

Today when I tried to start the game and clicked 'continue' it loaded my latest manual save instead of the latest autosave. When I investigated, my autosaves or even quicksaves didn't show at all. I quit and restarted the game and when I tried again it showed me all the saves, but when I clicked 'load' it only took me back to the main menu. I play the game on Steam and this has never happened to me before. Any suggestions?

I mean, I guess the other half is for the negative influence points, but since I don't think you can have both at the same time with the companions like you can with the factions (which would be kinda cool, Tyranny has that IIRC), I think it would be better if the max influence was 4 for both positive and negative.

Same. Also possibly related to this, hovering the cursor over the stats in the character sheet doesn't give me the factors affecting them for the Watcher. Nor does it give the stat descriptions.

Still doesn't work as it probably should.

Good to know!

Relationship scores range between -2 and +2. Really? That's only half of the circle. Weird.

I suspect the devs are aware of this to some degree but looks like there are still some persistent issues there. There have been multiple instances where doing/saying just one single thing a companion character reacts positively or negatively to will gain +1 or -1 influence in their eyes and also immediately trigger a sometimes wildly out-of-the-blue conversation. For example, Tekehu and Maia can still proposition you literally within minutes from recruiting them -- and I mean, I could even believe it's somewhat in character, but it still feels kinda jarring. Once I also let Xoti harvest some souls in the middle of some dank, dangerous swamp and she started basically Talking About Our Relationship while a bunch of forest lurkers attacked us even though as far as I'm aware, I had never encouraged her romantically in any way. It was sort of hilarious, actually. Xoti's dialogues seem to be kinda bugged in general, I feel like her quest can proceed (or at least her quest dialogues can trigger) much faster than it probably should in relation to the main quest. Especially considering it's tied to it. For example, she seems to magically know what Eothas is up to before you've even had a second chat with him, let alone a third. I mean, sure, she's a priestess of Gaun, but... You get the picture. (And then there's the "wants to talk" icon that leads to nowhere.) Aloth seems to be a bit better now, but he only ever seems to like Dutiful things and dislike basically everything else. I might be wrong, but I don't think even he should be quite that Stereotypically British. But I know it's a pretty huge overhaul to do to add more dispositions to him to balance things out. Does anyone have other hiccups like these to add? eta: D'oh, meant to post this in the main forum, not the beta forum.

I don't think so, things are just a little off every now and then and there are some dialogues that don't make sense (like she refers to main quest things you might not have learned yet).

Yep, this has been a recurring problem for a long time now. Xoti's dialogues seem to be kinda bugged in general as some of her dialogues are also triggered sooner than they probably should be judging by their content.

Funny thing is, for me it's the other way around. I didn't even know those were a thing before this patch. They seem to trigger pretty irregularly, though.
