Thanks for the clarification. I added it to the OP for visibility :)

Thank you!
Does it only apply to respecs of the main character? I've respeced some companions a few times but never my PC. Should that be safe, or may their companion quests etc break?
Yes it's only the main character. Companions are ok.
What is the issue caused that crops up later? When does the game break if this bug does appear?
I know that there's a high chance you won't be able to enter the prison if you respecced as a demon.
Wait, was this in the game the entire time since release? I did respec a lot through my playthrough already and I am almost finished with act II. Is that playthrough broken now?
Yes, it was all over. But unless you're demon and lich, you're probably okay.
Wait... what if I respeced using a mod?
And what if that respec wasn't on my main character?
I'm going Azata so this shouldn't be TOO big of a problem hopefully, but I'm a little worried.
Behaviour of mods in these circumstances is unpredictable, so it's pure luck.
When is the next Patch?
Coming in really soon.
does this problem effect the lich transformation problem both visuals and not becoming undead? and is it at any time during act 2 or only after you pick the 3rd rank in mythic path cause i did respec at the start of act 2 and have had 0 problems so far cause of it during my time in act 3 as lich
Visuals and becoming undead is fixed in the upcoming patch. It's a different issue.
Is there anyway for us to check if our saves are corrupted or not before we throw away hours of playtime unnecessarily?
Not that I'm aware of :\ But if everything seems to function fine so far and you're not playing demon or lich, it's probably worth trying to finish the current playthrough.
A bit of clarification on this:
The issue is that respec bug was affecting the mechanics so deeply, that we were not able to guarantee that your game will manage to repair itself even after the fix is deployed. I.e. things may be so broken in a given playthrough after respec, that even a fix won't help it. Highest chance to bump into this is with demon and lich mythics, other mythics have a chance to be affected, but it's considerably lower.
It does not necessarily mean your game won't work or that it will suddenly stop working after the patch - it simply means that if it was already broken, there's a chance it will remain such. Thus we recommend to revert back to an old save if possible.
Patch itself is about to come really shortly. Issue is fixed there and respeccing after patch is no longer dangerous.
Hey just wanted to check, are there any plans to implement more of the occult classes later on?
Hi! More classes are possible in future DLCs, no details at this time though.
Hello! This is a known (and a quite nasty) bug, the Undead traits are not applied properly after transformation. Fix is already in works, it's coming in one of nearest patches. I'll try to come back later with a more precise ETA.
Sorry, immortal masters of life and death, your time will soon come!
Good news, just got a word from the tech team that they fixed it. So expecting it in the upcoming patch. Day-two.
Read moreThere is a difference between Q/A for a linear 15 hour game, where every tester fully plays through the game 3 times a week and a 100 hours game with branching paths and dozens of character classes where testing is more a random spotcheck.
Also bug fixing is difficult to manage timewise, since it's often more a "Half-Life" than linear time frame. Lets say you know you have 1000 major bugs in the game, then you can probably fix half of them in a month, i.e. the ones that are common and reproducible. But then in the next month the bugs get rarer and you only fix 250 of the remaining ones and so on. Eventually you will have to cut off testing at some point.
Often bugs are very easily fixable post launch when you have thousands of bug reports but hard to nail down by ~100 testers.
Also more testing isn't free. Games have budgets and more testing means less game. Would would you take 10% less content for bugs that are fixed within a week after launch? As a produc...
Something tells me you are working in gamedev :D
Again, thank you very much, especially for answering on a Sunday nonetheless!
Though I'm a bit saddened to hear I can't have both an intact phylactery and my revenge on Zacharius. Or a new Lich voice.
Incidentally, would it be hard for the Devs to introduce a custom voice feature analogous to what we already have with custom portraits? Otherwise we can only mod the game heavily or replace existing voices, both options are a bit unsatisfying.
Idea is interesting, and I'll make sure to mention it to the team. No promises though, currently all effort is on bugfixing, not on adding features. Meanwhile, the game has extensive mod support, and will soon get Steam Workshop functional, so I'm sure modmakers will take care of this quickly.
Read moreThank you for sharing this information with us!
I have a question regarding the phylacteries, mine and Zacharius': is there supposed to be a way to repair/remake mine? You probably know why it broke. Since we literally can hold the one that knows how to do it in our hands, is there be a way to ask/persuade him?
Also, when choosing not to destroy him once you find the wand, I can't interact with Zacharius in his state as a wand anymore in any way. I can only use the wand like any other wand (this version of Finger of Death also works on undead btw) and once all charges are spent, it simply disappears. The quest to destroy it still remains in the questlog. Is it a bug or is it working as intended?
One more thing: is the transformation supposed to change your voice in addition to just the portrait? If not, is there a way to change/remove your voice after the transformation without having to respec? I'd like to avoid it, as it also completely resets your spellbo...
Hello u/l_x_fx!
1) No, you can't repair it.
2) Remaining quest in the log is a bug, please report it via ALT+B.
3) And sadly nope, no change of voice during transformation.
Thank YOU! Your guys' enthusiasm is very energizing for us :)
... Oh well xD
On a serious note though, u/Moikanyoloko, did you leave a bug report using ALT+B in-game? This should not happen in any circumstances.
... Oh well xD
<3 Thank you all wholeheartedly for such an amazing support!!! The team is really humbled. Nothing of this would be possible without you guys.
