March 30, 201510 yr I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I couldn't find any mention of it. My characters reached level 7 today and while leveling both my own Ranger and Sagani I decided to choose the 'Takedown' skill, which allows my wolf and Sagani's fox to knock people down. The skill should be useable once per encounter and for a very short while it did. However, at some point the game decided to mark the skill as 'Already Activated' and I've not been able to use it since. Sagani's fox broke down first. A short while later my wolf got the same problem. Saving/loading, resting, nothing works. I hope it can be looked into. Regards, Gotcha! Ps: Here's a savegame, if required: http://avatar.home.xs4all.nl/crap/6cf93f04-2de3-4812-8488-499b733ac0c9%20autosave.savegame
March 31, 201510 yr This also happened to Sagani's fox at some point during the 7th level. Haven't found a fix for it, removing her from party and bringing her back doesn't do anything
March 31, 201510 yr It seems to be a common problem for abilities with "X uses for encounter". Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll!
March 31, 201510 yr Author It seems to be a common problem for abilities with "X uses for encounter". Strange. I'm pretty far in the game I think, I've been using x uses per encounter skills like crazy and only the wolf/fox ones broke so far.
April 1, 201510 yr Author I spoke too soon. Today Edér's Knock Down stopped working. The option is simply unavailable, like I've spend them all, but I didn't. I am really hoping for a patch soon. I was severely disappointed with Wasteland 2 and a few other games I've bought recently, all showing more and more bugs as the games progressed. I was hoping this game would have been different, especially since its release was set back for such a long time.
April 3, 201510 yr Sadly, there was no information in the patch notes that seems to say this will be getting any type of fix. Nor have there been any developer responses in the numerous threads describing the encounter abilities becoming bugged. So who knows if this is even on their plate yet.
April 3, 201510 yr The problem *could* be addressed with this note. Fixed many issues where combat would not end properly. Since combat "not ending" properly could explain the inability to use the skill again. Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll!
April 3, 201510 yr Maybe if it was worded differently. Since there are known issues of combat not ending, I'm pretty sure that's what they're referring to. I also don't think they'd pass up the opportunity to list it as its own separate thing. Not going to hold my breath.
April 4, 201510 yr Still bugged after the patch, both takedown and grimoire slam to me. I think it might have to do with casting Withdraw on them just as they die, but I'm not sure, I don't want to test it either.
April 4, 201510 yr Same problem for me cannot activate the ability. Says already activated in the tooltip going to try to find a way to edit my character to remove it and replace it with something else or just remove it and add it again whatever will work.
April 5, 201510 yr It's still bugged after the latest patch! I've had this bug since I got it. I think I've only been able to use Takedown once. The icon is dimmed out during battle and says "Already activated" but my bear never uses it.
April 8, 201510 yr Hey everybody, thank you for your feedback. The team is aware of this issue. We have a hunch that using an ability as a cutscene starts or as the game saves may cause it to remain in the activated state, but we are unsure if there are other ways this issue may arise. If anybody has any other ideas or 100% reproducible steps, it could help us pin-point the issue and find a solution. Thank you!
April 11, 201510 yr No unfortunately not, but my friend also got the bug on his main char now (same ability Edér has that knocks them down). He had it once before too but restarting the game helped that time, maybe because he didn't save.
April 11, 201510 yr Hmm. I need to look into this further. I had noticed my Wolf was not knocking enemies down. I thought possibly it was some sort of resistance a certain enemy has. I noticed this also happening with Eder's knockdown not working all th time. Are knockdowns by fighter/animal companion supposed to work 100% of the time on every enemy?

It has a roll like any other ability. The problem here is that you can't even use the ability, it stays greyed out even though you should be able to use it.

You can't even click the spell if you have the bug. My bear always have 2 knockdown uses and the spell itself says "Already activated".
April 13, 201510 yr No fix in 1.0.4 It's kinda sad an issue that popped up and was supposedly noted during the backer beta and then became prevalent the day of release with thread after thread following still doesn't have a fix.
June 18, 201510 yr FYI, this seems to be fixed now. You may lock the thread if you feel that it is needed.
