The soul reading of Wahaki Leader should be tied to Aloth's quest. I think Teacher described the possible cause of this bug correctly. the quest "Friutful Alliance" is bugged. after the watershpper guild quest, if you do not accept the quest right away, there is no way back. however this is not supposed to be a faction exclusive quest. The quick fix to get the achievement is to kill the wahaki leader to force a change in the quest status.

Thanks. same situation here. have to save after getting to Uakizo and load to get the achievement.

What do you mean when you say that Paradox thew Obsidian under the bus with Tyranny? Something happened? Well, that does need contextualized and curtailed a bit. It's not like a business agreement was violated. But Paradox went on record saying that everyone at Paradox expected it to do better. Ergo, something went amiss in the market and Obsidian product. Not with PDX's price hikes across regions, I dont think the sales of both Pillars or Tyranny would increase too much in the future. Many people who are interested in these kinds of games have already purchased them (just look at the number of people who like to gift away their Tyranny coupon in this forum). It s people who never tried obsidian isometric that should be targeted. But with such hefty price hikes without any regard of the real purchasing power of the regions, it's really hard to promote these games to friends, at least that's the case for me.

That's just outright false. Their DLC practices are the best in the industry. They were... It's gone downhill. They used to sell all sorts of little cosmetic stuff piece by piece for super cheap so you could pick and choose, and their big DLC packs were like 10-15 bucks. Now they charge 15-20 for packs not nearly as big or good, and bundle all the little stuff into 5-8 dollar packs. I'd argue that pricing and value of content can't be a deciding factor in whether a DLC policy is good or bad as every individual will have their own determination of whether the price is worth it or not. What makes Paradoc's DLC policy good is that none of it required to play, and it comes with free patches that add content as well as bug fixes for those that decide not to purchase the DLC. Well i have a few thousand hours in EU4 alone and i can tell you that all of their new dlc expansions are shyte.They constantly add a new mechanics that break the game and the rest of the mechanics,the ai is brain dead because of all the new mechanics,the new ford system is broken as hell just like the pathfinding and don't forget the new tech system where the most advanced country in the world is ottoman empire.While there is still some basic bugs that are not fixed for years and some are even breaking the contend of a former dlc.Go and try to play the Purple Phoenix DLC and that is just small example,after all we are not in EU4 forum. No on the topic.I don't think that Obsidian trying to go casual will end well for them in a long term.There is nothing wrong with streamlining the UI and the game but there is difference between streamlining and dumbing down.The Mass Effect went massive because they had really good roleplaying core (roleplaying is not maxing out a bunch of numbers).It will be good if Obsidian go self published but stay grounded. I know it's past time of discussion, but there is some new development regarding Paradox pricing policy. Not only their DLC policy sucks, their pricing policy sucks as well. now to keep up with "growth of" purchasing power in this stagnant economy, Paradox has raised the prices of all Obsidian Games it publishes on steam by at least 33%. The base game of Pillars of Eternity now cost 50% more in poorer region like Russia, China, Brazil, etc. The ultimate version went up 66%. I m from China, so I know things are not good for ordinary Chinese. Pay remain relative the same compared to what was like 5 years or 7 years ago, while cost of living like food, water increase rapidly. I am a EU4/CK2/Stellaris player myself. I agree completely with your view on their DLCs. I dont think this increasing the price of a game after 1year of its release is any good for sales.

Dear Dev, Please dont use Paradox as your publisher. Their pricing policy is atrocious. Recently citing the "possbile growth of" purchasing power, they increased the price of all games they published for Obsidian by almost 50% on steam. Pillars of Eternity went up from CNY 122 to CNY 185, the ultimate version costs CNY 412 ($99.99) from CNY 248($59,99), a 66% increase. https://steamdb.info/sub/107937/ And the price of tyranny went up as well, from CNY 122 to CNY 185, effectively rendering my 25% off coupon mote. The price hike is not limited to one region. It happened across a wide range of markets like Brazil, China, Russia, Turkey, etc. But in reality, the economy has not been kind for most people in these countries. I dont mind paying a bit more for your game if it is meant to be this way in the first place. I love your games from the days before obsidian even existed and I've purchased almost all of them on steam and promoted them among my friends actively. Be it Pillars of eternity, Tyranny or even classic games like Fallout: New vegas, etc. It is just not popular that the price of a game increases after one year without any real reasoning or action, since most game price would remain the same or even drop over time. I understand people need money to live or to make great games. and if need be, I will gladly support you guys in a new crowdfunding campaign. TL; DR: I fear the pricing policy of publisher like Paradox will actually hurt your sales.
