Unfortunately it's not working for me, even with restarting Steam. Do you think it might have something to do with me having opted into the beta for the patch? I'll try leaving the beta and restarting steam, to see if that works, I guess.

EDIT: Nope, doesn't seem to matter, still doesn't work.

Hmm, I doubt it. Could you hit up eternity.obsidian.net for tech support? Weird that it's not working, I'm sorry for the trouble, this is a pain. :-(

Any word on the issue here?

It's all working. We announced it yesterday. If you're not receiving the Gaun's Pledge bonus yet, try restarting Steam.

Who's Ondra?

But Ondra forgets everything. Including my crimes. Which I, of course, never committed.

We demand he answer for his crimes.

Damn, I leave over the weekend and come back to a kangaroo court! I demand an attorney!

There's nothing you have to do to install it -- should happen automatically. I will check with Steam to see whatsagoinon...

Surely that can be pushed forward somewhat since the save import is a fairly major feature? There's so many bugs with it so far.

  • Eder issue
  • Baby
  • Aloth's story not working
  • God's you chose/made a deal with not carrying over
  • Now some people saying Pallegina's story doesn't match either

Let's just say I have been extremely vocal with the team about the importance of fixing this to the fans. I don't set the timelines, but we'll see...

We are looking at this right now. Just spoke to Josh and it's been designed to be skipped, not sure why it's not skippable now -- I think there's something that hasn't been implemented or could not be at release. I will find out whatsagoinon and get back to the group here. Stay tuned.

We did release this game on Steam, after all...

Damn that's Ellie from The Last of Us? You guys didn't skimp on the VO budget that's for sure.

I'm glad she doesn't narrate EVERYTHING but the narration VO for the beginning was very well done. Looking forward to hearing more.

It is indeed. She's a member of Critical Role, (check out /r/criticalrole) who are voicing most companions and major characters throughout the game.

It would really have been amazing if she narrated everything in the game. But I guess that would have just been too much work.

It wasn't that it was too much work, per se, we made a creative decision to allow some of the prose to stay unnarrated, as we felt that was more in the tradition of the classic Infinity Engine games, and we didn't want to take too much of giant leap away from that, since some fans do prefer to have breaks in the dialogue/read at their own pace. We did our best to balance both sides' desires.

Okay, thanks for the response. Regardless, I love what I've seen so far of the game and think you guys have done a fantastic job with it.

Thank you so much!

Do you know if this is something that has a big effect on the game? Does it just create a few lines of dialogue and a necklace or does it influence Eder and his personal story in a significant way?

It won't block you from quests or anything like that, if that's what you're worried about. It does have an influence on how Eder approaches certain situations and relationships, but none of that is set in stone by his beginning state, either.

I think it's only for the first 5 mins of the game.

The narrator (Ashley Johnson is the actress' name) appears in most major moments in the game.

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried your option before posting here but Eder went home to Aedyr rather than becoming mayor of Dyrford as conveyed in the ending slides from PoE 1. Maybe there's an issue there, too (or maybe that got reconned)? Anyway, I can wait a week. I waited years for another cRPG before PoE1 and another week's not so bad to wait for the successor.

Apologies for the inconvenience, I hope you still enjoy the game!

This is the kind of thing that is unacceptable not to have working properly at launch. People can only play a game the first time once, and that is especially important for RPGs.

Really, really disappointed.

There is a workaround available: you can use the manual state-setting feature to duplicate your choices in Pillars I. Or, you can pick one of the pre-made states. Either one will avoid this bug and give you the result you're looking for. Apologies for the inconvenience.
