@BAdler Just curious do the different editions have different in game start menu (i.e. a little sub title under the main title indicating the edition) / loading screens at the start with titles of "Royal Edition" or even "Collectors Edition" for the actual collectors SKU (physical install) or are they all the same? Along the same lines did you do anything special for the desktop icon for Collectors, or is it also the same?

The chanter in POE reminds me a bit of the Bard in Vanguard (now dead MMO) - could create your own songs(buff,debuff,utility or all 3 together!) and they were good at combat..was a really fun class, memories.

Sensuki, when the full game releases you are going to have to take a few weeks off for all the bug/mechanics testing xD Out of curiosity, have you arranged any time of work for this!?!

Nice Job with the revisions Grotesque, I'd tap that UI.

I noticed this as well, especially that inventory open sound! Would be nice if they could squeeze it in before release.

Should be sometime this week from what I have heard. Thanks Karkarov !!

Any recent news on when for the next(final?) beta build?

Source: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/69317-press-release-pillars-of-eternity-now-available-for-pre-order-worldwide/?do=findComment&comment=1534363 I would have actually missed it otherwise, so thanks I missed the stream, but you can watch it on twitch since it auto-records: Part 1: http://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive/b/588467303 (~17min) Part 2: http://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive/b/588477048 (~2:00hr) Some spoilers for sure but they do their best to skip the major ones.

For me, as long as they can fix these things I'll start testing more: 1. Items "poofing" 2. Quests "poofing" 3. Effects stacking like crazy These are hopefully all related to save/load issues - My hope is that they can be fixed in the first patch. I don't agree with their decision on releasing the beta with these issues known, but I guess they wanted to get it to us ASAP so we would catch other stuff to help them with. I feel more like this is an Alpha over a beta with these particular bugs present. Where the game is now, I'm just not patient enough to test it further right now - I guess I'm not a good tester! I did report a few things, but with all the bug spam on the forums it's hard to know if what I'm reporting is even worth it. It would be great if they would keep updating the known issues list to reflect all the bugs people have reported or just have a better system for bug reporting in general. I still love you Obsidian, I just have to wait a bit to test further, sorry!

Are you using a laptop or an older computer? If it's a laptop, maybe try disabling your internal video card in the bios if you have two. You would have to find out if you have two though before you do that..maybe it's trying to use the weaker card if you have two is my thought. With that said, the game is unomptimized at this point but they are working on the Mac and Linux beta releases too, so good luck man.

Try hitting space when you get black screens like that. Sometimes the game doesn't unpause when loading areas / loading for the first time. Space, if that's the issue will "unpause" it and let you start. Good luck

This is a little different, it's a *NameError* one. It seems similiar though so posting here. My BB Wizard is dazed so has -1 Int per his "Active Effects" on his character sheet. The description on clicking "Int" from "Character" shows -2 however and also has a *NameError*. He has major fatigue atm and an array of overlapping/duplicate effects so that may be factoring in. When I click "Int" on his character portrait I get attached. Also attached a copy of most of the duplicate effects on my Wizard.

Wizard Grimorie: Level 1 Spell "Thrust of Tattered Veils" has a missing string. (attached) Misc: In the party and personal "Records", there are quite a few monsters that have *Missing String* listed under "Most Powerful Enemy Defeated". Note, I also attached my cyclopedia entries for monsters so you can see what I have slain. (attached)

I've had this issue, glad to know it's known.

I'm also having this issue, and have done the same thing you are doing to fix it. Beyond disabling the second montior view entirely I haven't found any other workarounds. This should probably be moved to the bug forum if there isn't already one there.

It's looking great! Like others have said the seaweed really adds to that beach scene! I would love to see character footprints on the sand as you bring a character through such a scene if at all possible. I haven't seen a whole lot of character animation / spell + ability animiations yet but please spend a lot of polish time on these, if you nail these down that will be just awesome. If these are not "right" in a game, I have a hard time getting immersed into the game as minimal frames/incomplete and/or poor animations are quite distracting imo. With that being siad, I'm looking forward to the beta testing to help with bugs, even if what I mention above isn't fully polished by then!!

I'm looking forward to see how this will be done, thanks for bringing it up to remind us this is happening in some way!

Hello! It appears I don't have a Kickstarter badge. Thanks!

I've been using Lastpass, if you have a lot of websites that have usernames and passwords like me (I had over 50) it can take awhile to setup, but in the long run it streamlines things quite a bit and makes your passwords more secure and much easier to manage. I like it.

Oh boy oh boy! I feel like a kid in candy store, breathing it all in then looking for my favorite and finding it!!! DO WANT, keep up the AWESOME work Team Obsidian!

I love to see these updates and I'm super stoked for this game, haven't been this excited in a long time. Thank you everyone at Obsidian/Kickstarter for making this possible <3

Hey all, It took me days to get my confirmation email for the forum, Obsidian sorted it out though when I emailed them. I'd like to be "Shrouded Assassin of the Obsidian Order"
