Background sounds sometimes overlap. For example, when leaving a cave to the open air cave sounds still remain and overlap with open air sounds. Or after traveling and fighting at sea, wave sounds still linger everywhere I go. Can only be fixed by saving and reloading.

Eder this, Eder that . I tell ya, the best romance in the game is...with Modwyr the sword!

Yea, sure. Here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gxn7uNwLXdwSMgnBxxj6CEo3HWwWmyko

Well, basically all companions follow the same formula: You recruit them and they give you their quest, along the way you gain reputation with them by saying things they like/don't like, after a few rather fast occurring talks (they seem to trigger on completing quests, gaining rep and sleeping/travelling between locations) all eligible companions try to get in your pants because everybody wants the Watcher. So yeah, it's formulaic and kinda shallow. However, they're definitely more interesting to have around than in POE1, because the relationship system also works between them - they like and dislike each other, which can lead to extra dialogues or spats. Also, they are a constant presence during quests - they comment on things and interject in dialogues. Also, they're all voiced so this all makes them more alive, so to speak.

In the temple of Gaun an npc called Wirtan is talking to the empty space where Adaryc is supposed to be standing when he's alive.

Well, go out there and do it for science! There no 100% guarantee unless somebody completes the game while testing this. Yea, romances seem pretty shallow, actually. I think there's something wrong with how fast companions dialogues are appearing, something wrong with the relationship system.

I did her first quest (the one with the stolen gloves) but I don't even have an option to ask her to join. Wonder what I did wrong. Or do I also have to finish the quest with the tablet and Arkemyr? Yea, it seems this is required too.

I'd upload it in the attachment but save file is too big even archived. Will you accept a google drive link? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OOYKpwS1s9rHxPXhO_p6-nT9o2aTlLG2

Josh hates romances so I wouldn't hold my breath. However, I seem to vaguely recall a mention that some romance options are something like "not now, maybe later". So maybe something happens near the end of the game? But then again, I wouldn't hold my breath.

As I made a return visit to the palace in Neketaka right at the entrance Maia automatically started a dialogue with me while not being in the party.

The prostitute guy was one of his schoolmates in the magic school. That whole convo gave me "Aloth was and is a clueless, babbling nerd" vibe, but that's nothing new. It was funny. Don't ever change, Aloth Honestly, I wasn't expecting Pallegina to have a romance, because she's Josh Sawyer's character and he hates romances. So if she doesn't have one I'm not surprised. Not sure about Eder though. Has anybody finished his quest and found his past lover? Cuz that thing seems to be gnawing at him, even though there was an option to flirt with him. Maybe the quest needs to be finished first to start anything with him? Also, it seems that most of the romances are bi? Tekehu, Xoti, Maia...What the ef But whatever.

If Pallegina is still with the Vailian Republics you can find her at the palace in Neketaka. Maia also can be found there, or later at the Brass Citadel, which is also in Neketaka. Fassina works in the Dark Cupboard (a shop near Arkemyr's Manor) in Neketaka. Gotta do her quest first to make her join. Ydwin works in the animancers tower at the Sacred Stair in Neketaka.

Cohh romanced Xoti as male Watcher, so yeah. Pallegina seems to be uninterested (?). What about Serafen?

First of all, you need to download the official parchment background: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/91743-portraits/?p=1967609 Then if you have Photoshop you can try doing this: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/91743-portraits/?p=1956411

I'm glad you found it suitable. Personally, I'm very glad how my custom portrait turned out as well, makes me enjoy the game even more. Funny thing, it was one the first I did but it still turned out one of the best looking.

Right after you meet Xoti. He wants to find his past lover, just to talk to the Dawnstars after you recruit her.

I just got Pallegina as a companion in the palace and immediately after Xoti started an angry rant how she hates Pallegina and threw "me or her" ultimatum at me, barely calmed her down . I think this is a bug in their relationship numbers under the hood, she shouldn't be hating on her so much just after I got her, right?

She's bugged. It was stated in known issues, a fix won't come until next patch which will happen only next week. The only way to make her appear is to create a manual legacy, but there are other more severe bugs there, like incorrect Eder ending, for example. So it's your choice.

I've reported this in the beta, but I see it's still not fixed. POE1's current year was 2823. Wiki confirms this too: https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Timeline#2800_AI_-_present_day 5 years were supposed to pass in POE2, so current year should be 2828 not still 2823.

So not only is he bugged in imported save legacy to have a Night Market ending even if it was supposed to be mayor of Dyrford, but even when creating manual legacy both "strengthened his faith" or "made him skeptical" options lead him to say that he went on to visit his parents in Aedyr I didn't look much further, but manual legacies need a closer look too. There could be other bugs there.

Most likely there won't be any difficulty related achievements, because devs said several times those were driving people crazy in POE1 - they were too difficult and people couldn't "plat" the game. Devs also said they will release those difficult achievements later when they balance out POTD.

From what I saw from Cohh's streams (he's playing human male) there was a flirting option with Eder, but he didn't pick it. Tekehu straight on came on at him but Cohh rebuked him. Also Tekehu flirted with just about anybody, seems he's a promiscuous kinda of guy. I got the Iron Bull vibe from him. Personally, I hate it when romances are aggressively shoved down the players throats like that. Xoti is definitely romance able. She seemed to have some feelings towards Eder at first, but Cohh was nice to her so she got together with him instead. It was kinda cringy and short, and somewhat out of nowhere. So to people who are expecting something groundbreaking out of romances - don't.

I dunno, man, devs posted that rogue's sneak attack scales with power level now. It could be big for single class who gains them faster than multiclass. So this will need some testing. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97241-thread-for-those-of-us-who-want-to-roll-a-single-or-multi-roguelets-talk/?p=2006691

Ahem, you may wanna tone down your expectations. Just saying

Well, it's unknown whether this will be fixed for release, but here are some options to try to make the baby orlan to appear: 1. Don't import a save file, instead choose all POE1 decisions from scratch during character creation. 2. Replay the quest in POE1 in specific order and complete the game. I've a seen post in another thread claiming that the flag isn't triggering because the quest is not completed in correct order. Apparently the correct order is to take the baby first and then kill the evil dude, not the other way around.
