[The Trials of Durance]

Thanks everyone.

 

I did find a way in which you might not be able to discuss the vision. There are multiple pathways to get to a lot of Durance's topics. There's one where if you ask him about the etchings on his staff, he'll start talking about things that make the game think you've already discussed the vision, even when you haven't.

 

If that is your problem, I have a fix you are welcome to try out. I am too late to get it into the latest patch, I believe, but if you want to test it out on your own (and at your own risk ), I have a dropbox link with a couple updated files:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/78pcyzkpykskhcz/AACuB_hCwiPyj8DQlf01r9E4a?dl=0

 

These would go in the Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\data\conversations\companions subdirectory of your game directory. (For steam, it's Steam\SteamApps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\data\conversations\companions), and should overwrite two existing files there. For your own safety, I recommend making copies of the originals before you overwrite them with these.

 

The fix prevents you from being able to ask too early about the staff etchings, and also employs a better criterion for whether you've discussed the vision with Durance yet. I believe it will work retroactively.

 

Let me know how it goes!

 

 

EDIT: I screwed up and uploaded the wrong versions of the files at first. If you'd already gotten them before seeing this edit, you'll want to grab them again.

Thank you very much, Eric. Fixed it for me as well. Thought I would have to beat the game without completing Durance's storyline, which I very much enjoyed, but thanks to this fix I can continue to experience this amazing game fully

Well I've met the looters, but including the stash in their camp, I've found no quest item or whatsoever. Where did you find the quest item?

 

Just press tab and look for a clickable space on the ground. The artifact is burried in the ground

(spoiler warning)

 

Is it possible to actually hear what Eder's brother and the avatar of Eothas are talking about in a vision? I tried to get a reading on the battle artifact from Grieving mother and then from Lady Webb with exactly the same result: they show me a vision but without sound. Eder is asking me what were they talking about but I can only answer that I don't know. He's obviously upset about it. It completes the quest, but the quest text is saying something like: "he will never know the truth". This is obviously not a perfect way to solve it. Has anybody archieved different results?

[No character appearance customisation for Wild Orlan?]

When I create a wild orlan character, head and hair options are grayed out. Facial hair is available, but it's probably not working properly, because it shows the beard on top of the default one not instead of it. Also I don't have an option to change hair color. 

 

Is it supposed to be this way?

[The Trials of Durance quest bug]

Hi! We discussed this issue in different topic and one of the developers asked to post a support ticket with a savegame. So here it is:

 

After resting I got a dream event, which updates the Trials of Durance quest, which now prompts me to discuss it with Durance. But when I talk to him, I don't have a needed dialog option. The dialog goes like this:

 

I say:

"I had questions I wanted to ask you."

 

He responds:
"If doubts and curiosity plague you, you're skinning your knuckles on the wrong door."

 

I should have the option:

"I had another vision of you. One of the symbols on your staff - it was dying."

 

But I don't have it. I exhausted all other dialog options, it's nowhere to be found. So it's obviously a bug.

 

My savegame:

[The Trials of Durance]

Same as leaderreborn

I say:

"I had questions I wanted to ask you." 

He responds:
"If doubts and curiosity plague you, you're skinning your knuckles on the wrong door."

I don't have the option:

"I had another vision of you. One of the symbols on your staff - it was dying."

 

The "Trials of Durance" quest tells me to talk to Durance, I have a dialog icon on his portrait but no dialogue option. So it's obviously a bug. Will file a support ticket with a savegame.

 

 

 

Ok, this may be stupid, but I just spent 15 minutes trying to find out how to file a support ticket and couldn't figure it out. Should I just start a topic in Technical Support section or there is a separate form for tickets elsewhere?

[The Trials of Durance]

Thanks. Will continue on and hope I can advance this quest. Will post here if I succeed. Btw, the quest you're talking about, is it in the main storyline or one of the side ones?

[The Trials of Durance]

Have the same issue. Got the dream, the quest objectives changed, telling me to speak to Durance and the dialog icon appeared on his portrait. But when I click it I get the same dialog options I get at any other time. Tried to go through his dialog tree with no success. At this point it seems bugged, which is really depressing because Durance's story was pretty intriguing. Has anyone found a workaround for it yet? Maybe the place you rest at before the dream affects it in some way?
