I posted this in the Beta Thread but I noticed my save files are up to 2 MB and loading slower. I did not know if this was an issue or not so I am reporting it and attaching saves. The saves are too big to attach it seems.... Will have to compress them down.
-
Like the title says. I noticed my saves are up to 2 MB each and the load time is a bit slower. I will try to attach the saves somewhere.

Tried searching for this but did not see it.
I noticed that certain status effects were staying on permanently, I was using Palleginia and she was blinded. I could not remove said status effect without going to the Stronghold, removing her from the team and then putting her back in. I remember similar bugs were in the release so it seems it has popped back up again. -
I have had this bug as well.

It does look cool, but I have had this too.

Might be a stupid question, but - When I add a custom portrait, do I need both a big (210x330) and a small (73x86) picture, or does it work to add just that big one?
I'm kinda paranoid about messing my game up
Haven't tried without a small - But I DO know that if it did work, the small portrait would look weird since they aren't just supposed to be re-scaled large thumbnails. The small picture is used for the "head focused" up close shot ingame on selection.
Actually it does work. I found out by accident. I forgot to resize the picture I used for my first character when I renamed them. I just made an exact copy.
The game resized it for me. And it does not look that funny looking at all.

I still think people do not know how to use wizards in Pillars..... Seriously, the classes are pretty balanced (They will never be completely balanced. Just doesn't work that way). Wizards usually ALWAYS start out slow in fantasy RPGs.... This is no different.

Hey, from my POV, messy, unorganized, non-completist people are the ones that need to be cured.It's nothing uncommon.
It like playing pokemon and wanting to collect all the pokemons.
I didn't say it was uncommon, I said it was potentially serious. Lots of people have untreated mental illnesses. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but if it starts to be a problem that is affecting your ability to live and enjoy your life then it might be time to seek treatment.
There is a point were completionist becomes perfectionist. Nothing wrong with wanting to do everything in a game, unless it becomes obsessive like I have seen with some people. When your life ends because you can't get a Kickstarter Steam Achievement like I saw complained about? You have some issues.
And anyway, we are talking extremes. Most gamers are not total completionist or totally sloppy and unorganized. Most of use fit in the very wide area in the middle of those two.

I don't see the problem. I must say, imo, it is a pretty trivial complaint.
And I hate the word immersion as it pertains to games.... -
I don't understand any negativity. Maybe the real fault is that people want to compare this game to BG2.... Which is not exactly fair.
Pillars stands on its own. I think most people complaining are people who cannot adjust to the new system. Some people are stubborn and don't want to learn new things. A lot of people just wanted this system to be a D&D clone. That it is not....
All of those negatives you listed I have heard as well. I think they are nuts. I am a proud backer and I find it to be a very solid game that is well worth my money and time. -
That is what I was thinking.

Anybody know what was patched in just a minute ago? Just got a 570MB download on Steam

So anybody know what just got patched in? I just got a 579 MB download on Steam....

Ugh, I am quitting this before I hate people even more than I do....
The Internet, maybe it IS a bad thing. Lol....
Peace.....-

Oh gods, EA is part of the problem.....

A few people on a forum does not a **** storm make. Most people don't give a crap, and are actually just playing the game.
Forums very rarely reflect reality.
Actually you would be surprised. It is not a few people and it is just not this forum....

They already said that the issue will be addressed in the next community update. Which I suppose means blog entry.I do like seeing the devs on the "currently reading" section but none have any guts to come out and speak. They're all cowards. Yes, if you haven't realized yet, I'm not happy in the least.
Oh I doubt any explaination will be good enough now. That boat sailed oh... when this started....

Because even many transsexual people thought this is ridiculous. And I am sorry but there are far fewer nut jobs out there than moderate ones. And these moderate ones are now fighting against censorship. And thank you for insulting me.
Did they really? Which ones? How many?
We can ask that same question of you. How many? Who?
I wasn't the one making flagrant claims that one side of the discussion was a vast minority. You all sound like children.
"Where's your source?"
"I DON'T KNOW, WHERE'S YOUR SOURCE YOU HYPOCRITE?"
lol.
I was actually pointing out how ridiculous your original post was. Thank you for proving my point with the next.

In retrospect, this is getting a bit silly
Obsidian didn't remove the backer entry, the developers contacted the backer who made it and he or she agreed to submit a different limerick, which mocks the people who wanted it removed. In this regard they aren't disrespecting the backer's wishes, because he or she paid for the tier and agreed to do it. I, personally, would have just ignored the tweet altogether, but at the same time I don't own or run a business.
You can argue that it's a slippery slope, and Obsidian will make more major changes to avoid offending people in the future, but this is a game where you can kill children, where kids with animal souls in them become ravenous undead, where genocide is seen with regularity, where a woman gets raped, and so on. I'm having difficulty seeing the developers do a complete 180 from this just because a backer agreed to change a poem, especially since virtually none of the backer content has any major effect on the main campaign and could be completely ignored altogether. This applies to the memorial itself, which actually has several immersion-breaking entries that the player needs to go deliberately out of the way to find.
You can argue that it was a waste of time and a distraction from the patch, but really how long does emailing a backer take? I've seen some of the developers on here at 2 o' clock in the morning, discussing bugs on the forums. It's not like they all gathered in a conference room and had an 8 hour debate about the issue; they were probably more focused on fixing bugs.
In the end of the day all I'm concerned about is the games. While I would have preferred for Obsidian to just ignore random people on the internet I'm not distrubed by this either, because I can't see how this will significantly affect content now or in the near future and this was ultimately something the backer consented to. I'm not really concerned about people on Twitter feeling victorious or "winning", because the politics don't really concern me and come off as petty.
Where does it stop? Now that they know Obsidian will cave when confronted, what will they want when they come for the mile? Obsidian already gave them the inch.
That is the problem. You say you are worried about the games. This WILL affect the games.
Dude, listen to yourself. They changed a backer poem. In a memorial in the middle of nowhere, that serves no in-game purpose other than referencing the backers. They didn't even remove the entry, they changed it with the backer's consent and it mocks the people who wanted it removed. None of the backer content is even significant to the game, there are even people requesting mods for it to all be removed. How, in any way, is this going to affect games in the future?
You really do not know about the slippery slope do you.
Look at the post below yours and above mine. The twitter screenshot.
Lol, my point is quite proven. They are coming for the mile.

Nice move, Obsidian. Now my SJW-y acquaintances hate you for letting him play victim in the new epitaph, while the whiners who always cry "censorship" when someone bursts their comfortable little bubble of privilege hate you for changing the original.
Personally, I think this whole thing could've been avoided with tighter control over backer material. Maybe then my eyes wouldn't bleed when reading the backer NPC stories either!
Seriously though, I don't get those who have sworn off Obsidian games forever because of this thing. What are you gonna play now? Bioware games? Elder Scrolls? It's not like Obsidian has, like, any competitors at what they do.
I think you forgot Larian and inExile.... ;-)
Larian? Haven't you heard, they caved to SJW censorship too. The early concept art for the two Original Sin main characters had him in sensible armour and her in cleavage-y boobplate. When people complained about this, the art was changed so that both characters worse sensible armour. Or as sensible as armour ever gets in Larian games.
All those spikes, man.
Interesting, I liked the armor.
)That is sad to hear though. Guess it is just inExile....
Considering dev overlap and cooperation between Obsidian and InXile, I'd honestly be surprised if they'd have a significantly different company culture over there, come to think of it.
Guess you could always play Shadowrun? Oh wait, they sent GGers away, too. How sad.
They sent all of them away. I know, i am a backer of the Shadowrun games too. ;-)
