The end of this descriptive text has two periods. It should be either just one, or three to form an ellipsis. Screenshot This sentence has an ellipsis that should be followed by a space but is followed by none. Screenshot This string says "He speech" but I guess it should be "His speech". Screenshot The player's reply is a question and should end in a question mark, but currently ends in a period. Screenshot There's an extra "of" in this descriptive text. Screenshot

When Rite of Hidden Wonders is cast on the party from the namesake scroll, Valor's icon appears next to party members' portraits instead of the appropriate Rite of Hidden Wonders icon. SAVED GAME: link REPRO STEPS: Load the attached saved game. Observe that the protagonist has a scroll of Rite of Hidden Wonders in his quick slot. Cast Rite of Hidden Wonders on the party. Observe that Valor's icon (an arrow on a target) appears next to party members' portraits instead of the Rite of Hidden Wonders icon (cogs).

When humanoids wield an arquebus, their left hand isn't really touching it. The issue is very similar to the one occurring with a pollaxe (link). SCREENSHOT: link SAVED GAME: link REPRO STEPS: Load the attached saved game. Observe that Grieving Mother is equipped with an arquebus. Enter the door in front of the party. Skip through the dialog until combat ensues and everyone enters their combat stance. Zoom in and observe that Grieving Mother's left hand isn't really touching the arquebus; rather, her whole arm is above it.

Some Areas have super low resolution

Could you post screenshots highlighting the problem? -
UI Scaling - blurry font
AndreaColombo replied to Cirventhor's question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
I hear you. I bought this monitor because during the Kickstarter it was said 2560x1440 would be PoE's native resolution. Then they changed their minds for some reason, made 1920x1080 the game's native resolution without any official statement about it, and here I am with a monitor that cost me a full month's salary and can't do the one thing I bought it for. After seeing the difference it makes, I've started playing the game windowed. One month's salary spent on a computer monitor for Pillars of Eternity and I have to play it windowed or it gets blurry as eff. "Butt-hurt" is an euphemism for how I feel about it. -
^ Which one is that? Feedback for Obsidian (in case they're reading this) Thanks for making a game in which women in armor don't appear half-naked with barely a stripe of metal on their breasts and one on their genitals. Hallelujah! What the expansion really needs to bring to the table now is a kick-ass black full plate, with spikes and gothic ornaments (or maybe one that looks like Sarevok's from BG1—always loved his black plate.) We have a white knight armor; now we need a black knight one PoE does helmet/headgear design better than most games, but most headgear in the game is the same silver/metal color. Nothing wrong with some realism but, as shown above, most endgame suits of armor in the game are colored (red, gold, green, even blue.) For the expansion we need some unique headgear that matches these armor in color and can be used in conjuction with them (right now I'd rather wear no headgear and give up on the bonuses than to wear something that doesn't match my armor's color/design.)

There's an extra "were" in this interjection spoken by Kana in the Sanitarium: Screenshot There's an extra "it" in this interjection spoken by Hiravias in the Sanitarium: Screenshot (the question itself doesn't super make sense, anyway: Hollowborn don't survive and can't reproduce, so it's by definition impossible for "generations upon generations" to experience the Legacy. If it affects an entire generation, there won't be a new one afterward.)

UI Scaling - blurry font
AndreaColombo replied to Cirventhor's question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Seeing those pictures, I realized I do have blurry text just like everyone else. My monitor is the BenQ BL3200PT 32" 2560x1440; my graphics card is a GTX 970. KTran, some thoughts: While I appreciate the need for upscaling UI assets that are capped at 1920x1200, there is no need for the font to also be upscaled. Case in point: The UI in BG:EE and BGII:EE gets upscaled beyond 1024x768, yet their font is always crystal clear. Polina mentioned here that portraits' native resolution is 4800 x 7540; so I wonder—is there really a need for portraits to be upscaled beyond 1920x1200 and become blurred? If game size is a concern, I would be willing to download a separate "high-resolution assets" installer for a sharper font and sharper portraits (and if inventory icons could receive the same treatment, all the better.) Alternatively, you could provide an option to disable UI scaling as others suggested. I'm not a fan of that solution, personally, as it would make the UI much smaller (I would rather keep a bigger, albeit blurry, UI if I could have sharp fonts and portraits.) EDIT: my DxDiag. -
Vinsssounet - When I found myself in need of a Mechanics guy, I just hired a custom Rogue at an inn and put all of his skill points in Mechanics at level up. Even though I hastily made him, it turned out to be a pretty decent DPS character too so I decided to keep him around instead of recruiting a sixth Obsidian NPC (that was during my first play through.) So if you hire a custom Rogue and actually spend some time optimizing them, you'll find yourself with a Mechanics guy that deals astonishing amounts of damage in combat (peddroelm managed a 300-damage crit once; it's in his signature.)

^ For what it's worth, I haven't run into that particular bug. There is no denying the game is still in need of patching, but I could beat the game with 1.4 without running into any showstoppers (and it is worth noting that I'm a completionist, so I did all the quests and optional content.) Now I'm on my second play through (started with 1.4 and recently updated to 1.5) and I had no issues with Maerwald whatsoever. The game feels pretty safe/stable, if not particularly polished.

Inspired by an exchange with Crucis and Kaigen42 over here, I figured I'd open a thread to discuss the best-looking equipment in Pillars of Eternity. Sanguine Plate Looks amazing on human/elven female characters. Argwes Adra Nothing says "I'm stylish" like a plate whose name I can't spell. Sun Something Mail ... unless it's a chain mail whose name I can't even remember. Looks good on Edér too: Coat of Ill Payment Oh, yes... White Knight, FTW The Dunryd Demon helmet adds to the cool factor. Autumn Something Something Nothing says "I killed an innocent dragon-slayer!" like wearing this armor. The Funky Green Chain Mail All your friends will be green with envy. Vengiatta Rugia With a dandy hat for extra style. Aru-Brakr Not sure how to spell this either. Pallegina's Breastplate. Party Selfie at Night

I like all of those, but on my female human or elven fighter nothing looks rad like Sanguine Plate. A matter of personal taste, I suppose The Autumn Somthing Something chainmail I mentioned in my other post looks great on Edér, in my opinion. You get it from killing the dragon slayer near the Galawain's altar in one of the wilderness areas north of Defiance Bay (the one the adra dragon wants you to betray.) She also wields the best pollaxe in the game.
