"Gift from the Machine" not correctly importing at Hasongo (Patch 1.2)

[Dr. Hieronymous Alloy]

I've run probably four or five games up through Hasongo at this point and I'm having repeated issues, across multiple playthroughs, with the "gift from the machine" (and, sometimes, the "effigy" bonuses) not correctly importing, even when I carefully selected the appropriate background in the in-game Deadfire history creator. 

 

I have had one or two where it's worked correctly, so I know it's supposed to import, but. . it just ain't happening right. 

 

Here are two separate save games of two playthroughs that got stopped dead in their tracks by this bug; saves are immediately before triggering the lighthouse conversation in Hasongo where the "gift from the machine" bonus is supposed to carry over; in neither case does it, not even in the current patch.

I'd really appreciate a fix for this because there's no way to tell before reaching Hasongo if this is working correctly or not, and I'm getting really sick of putting in 20+ hours into a playthrough and then having it derailed by this bug; it's happened more than once.

Same problem I load old saved game just before talk with Eothas in Hasongo and I dont recovery Gift of the machine.

I dont know if the problem is the game or incorrect import of PoE1.

 

This is the saved before talk with Eothas:

I've been having this issue since 1.1, and while i can consistently obtain my Effigy's Resentment i've never once obtained Gift from the Machine. I've reloaded my PoE multiple times to see the journal entries on how things were resolved. There seems to be very odd inconsistencies with the PoE save importer. When i went to the Oathbinder's Sanctum i obtained the Sky Dragon Wurm which is only available if you spared the High Dragon. I even out of idle curiosity started a new game to see if the ghost of Vela was still appearing after turning her into soul viagra. Which despite apparently being fixed in 1.1 she still spawns in Vilarios Rest.

Does anyone have a definitive list of which Pillars1 perks come over? I’m not sure if the lack of Mental Prowess is a bug or intentional.

I believe only Gift from the Machine and the Blood Pool talents transfer directly. Whatever god you got a boon from (galawain, etc.) also gives you some bonus in the next game but usually it's minor (i.e., Eder getting five more HP from Galawain).

This is true for Xoti as well. But in regards to what talents transfer only Gift from the Machine and Effigy's Resentment are in. It's also worth noting that there was initially a talent gained for empowering Woedica, but since the talent was scrapped along with Gift of Hope( which was the Gift from the Machine parallel for good characters) there is no actual reward for siding with Skean/Woedica. Then of course Hylea bakes you a cake
