uh, first controversy regarding the game (outside the bugs):
What do I think? That they should've asked the backer to send a different text. Considering trans people a punchline isn't funny.

Any advice for when you come up against foes with high DR vs melee? I have one spellcaster. My pc rogue and my tank (same one y'all have) just keep saying "I must try something else" (or words to that effect) - but all melee weapons seem to have the same problem. Any ideas?
Not really. According to the character sheet he's been downed 5 times total so far and I'm pretty sure most of those are when I was doing the
temple in Gilded Vale and those damn shades and shadows would just suddenly teleport away from my tank and appear by my casters
I was getting a perfect 60 FPS until the second I stepped into Defiance Bay where it dropped to ~30. I'm playing at 2560x1600 so it's a bit more demanding than 1080p but I'm still surprised.
I think that's happening to me too. I don't really use scrolls so it hasn't bothered me.

Steam customer service? Surely they can do something? Sucks man..

Any enemy in particular? The short answer is to change weapons/tactics to suit the enemies weakness.
You can still use the scrolls. i think it might show as red because not everyone in the party has a Lore high enough to use it. Lemme test it real quick. Going to kick out my low Lore members and see if the text stays red.

It goes into your Stash.
i believe its a Steam thing and not a game bug. Something having to do with computer shutdown while writing saves.
That was the first place I looked, but there are no grimoires there.

Dumb question time, and I'm sorry if this has been explained elsewhere, but what is the significance of the name (goose and fox) of the neogaf inn? I read the OP, but it didn't provide an explanation that I could see. =/

Undying Heritage quest. In the journal it says that I can bring him a living sacrifice but I don't know where i can find it. I have already freed the prisoners and the little girl.

Question time: does experience only apply to people I have in my active party? Do I need to choose who's stories I follow up in, since the ones I leave at the inn will be underlevelled?
Like I said, I checked there. Neither Maerwald's nor Nybrid's grimoires are there.

Swap weapons, there are 3 physical damage types, slash, crush and pierce. Hover over the enemy and their stats show up in the top left if you have fought a bunch of em. Also might want to consider slower, heavier hitting weapons if they have high DR.
Side note, just started exploring Defiance Bay. Holy shit there are a ton of sidequests.

Okay.. about the scrolls with red text. i just removed my no Lore having dullards and the text is still red. i can confirm that the scrolls still function. It might be in red text just so it makes you aware of the requirements to use or it may be a display issue.
Its the Kickstarter backer pet. Not sure if the lowest tiers get it.
Hmm.. not sure what to tell you then. i just removed my Wizard and all 4 of the grimoires he had went to the weapon section of the Stash.

I paid $20 and only got the pig. If I would have known the higher tiers got a dragon pet i would have paid more...

None of your saves load? Not a single one? Try validating the game files.
If that doesn't work, you're going to have to post on the Obsidian forum or open a support ticket. Doing both would probably be a good idea.
According to the strategy guide, another similar pet exists although it's a different color.
I believe my Durance quest is bugged.
I need to talk to him about my last vision.There was the Talking smybol on his avatar. I clicked on him and it only opened his normal dialog tree. There is nothing new. The Dialog Symbol is gone, quest still tells me i need to talk to him :/
I even put him in my castle and returned him back into my group, still nothing. Cant go on with the quests mhhhh...
last save without that is a long time ago

Experience applies to everybody I think, even people who are not in the party. I left one of my made characters behind and came back for them a little bit later, and they had leveled up.
Some of the earlier ones work however I know the later ones work because they've worked before, it just won't consistently load those files every session. Also half the time I start up the game the continue and load buttons are grayed out and I have to reboot until they come back.
In regards to the double click bug, what is the best way to tell if I have it on any of my chars? I have an elf wizard, human pally and human fighter. Elf wizard has "distance advantage" under actives, fighter has defender and pally has nothing except item things. Should the pally have some other active that is missing?
You can get a dragon whelp type pet pretty easily anyway

Iirc you can remedy it by removing them from party at an inn and then re-invite them. So if you are unsure if you got it just remove everyone and reform the party.
Were they all generic grimoires, or purple ones?
I found an older save where he still had Nyrid's grimoire in a free item slot, went to the stronghold, removed him from my party, and checked the item stash -- the grimoire is most definitely not in the stash. Then I re-added Aloth and he doesn't have it, either. So if it's supposed to be going to the stash, I guess it's a bug.

All except one are named for unique characters.
Ludrana, Maerwald, and Osyra for the named and Spellwrights for the generic one

Well, he felt it shameful enough to commit suicide? Who dictates what the correct emotional response is in this situation? I dont see the problem?

Awesome
The rebooting thing is weird. So is the inconsistent loading thing. I'm thinking it may be a problem with the computer itself but I hope that isn't the case.
I don't mean rebooting the computer just restarting the game.

Meh, hit a bug after 25+ hours, and I'm thinking about taking a break for a couple of days until they hopefully iron out at least the worst of these. The quest is "At All Costs"
Aside from that, the game's been awesome.
where if I choose to protect Mestre Verzano from the Doemenels, the quest doesn't end after the battle, making it impossible to recruit Pallegina.
Aside from that, the game's been awesome.

Just got to the Goose and Fox. It is like the first building you run into in the city, lol

i havent been there but did you "cheese" the fight? The reason i ask is when i (Act 1 side-quest spoilers)
fought Raedric one attempt i skipped dialogue and force fired his lackeys. i won the battle but i think that Raedric bug happened because after killing him nothing happened. i retried the battle actually talking to him first and everything worked out peachy.
edit:
i just got to Act 2 and have yet to find a use for them. i wonder if vendors keep items for extended duration.
The gems are needed for enchanting. I sell everything in the other category.
Validating the files didn't work, can I pass the files that aren't working onto you and you can test em out?
quick question for Pillar-GAF: out of lulz I used the AddToParty console command on the Bear in the first forest of the game... but I can't find how to remove him later and out of stupidity I have already saved.
Pls tell me I'm not fucked because he's pretty much... a beast
(btw, he has a leather armor equipped, LOL)
requoting myself: well, if someone reads this, don't do it. As soon as I reached another city, I had to quit, and when I reloaded my save, the bear was missing (he's still shown in the party, but there was just an empty circle).
Not just that, but after I made a single click, he started to get buggy, as it was shown as if he was far away from me. Double clicking on his icon led to a random point in the map but he actually wasn't there, not even the circle was shown anymore. And for that reason, basically so I couldn't even exit the city anymore - as it requires all the party to be there, nor I could kill him (which is the only way I came up with of removing a member from the party).
So yeah, basically I have fucked my game save and now I'm forced to restart. Thank god I was at the beginning, I'm not sure if this bug is just something that happens with CRE_xx (creatures) but watch out. Don't add those to the party.

I've seen people on Reddit complaining about this too. It seems to be a bug.
Ciphers are not squishy, no. They can be if you build them squishy.
I use one cipher to go in melee, and I also have a second cipher who uses bows.
Just put some talents into the defensive areas (shield buffs, etc), add some psychic backlash and you got a stew going.
Their blinding/Mind Blades are invaluable. No matter how big of an engagement we are talking about.
