For what it's worth, some Pillars I characters literally would not work properly in Pillars II, and would have to be rerolled anyways. As an example, my character from Pillars 1 was a Paladin from the Sheildbearers of St Elcga that favored Greatswords, and they would get no value from the order passive in Pillars II. This would also prevent any imported characters from Multiclassing.

I had preloaded my game, and was able to load in after work around 4PM EST. During gameplay, I experienced regular stutters/frame skips at regular intervals (which has it's own thread). After I froze my game by trying to switch to full screen mode and restarted my machine, Steam is making me reinstall the game. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've been seeing this myself. I tried switching from windowed mode to full screen, at which the point the game hit a black screen (with cursor) and refused to reload. I had to reboot my machine, and steam is now making me reinstall.

My game is at 100% downloaded on steam, but the initial launch is taking forever.

Thanks!

One random question I was thinking about when considering which Pillars I character I want to play through: Is there any customization that can take place for Pillars 1 characters imported to Pillars of Eternity 2? Specifically, my Paladin was a Shieldbearer of St Elcga who used two handed weapons (in particular, Abydon's hammer). Obviously, he won't benefit from the passive for that order in Pillars of Eternity 2.
