Pillars of Eternity - Patch 1.04 Released

I'm not waiting because of patches.
Currently my sis with her two kids is here. I cannot afford to play games that need me much concentrated with them around so I'm on Ubisoft's milkem'with easy2win, repetitive and consoley shallow lemonade run called AC.
Since they'll be here a couple of weeks more… Ah well, there are enough of AC games out there, not more than Mass Effect DLC though, but if Ubi continues, they can still outdo EA!

I still need to find the motivation to finish the game after the combat challenge plummeted to the underground near Twin Elms. When tactical combat doesn't require tactics any more, or casting well-aimed spells or careful positioning or anything, then the game is just boring, at least for me. I hope the patches address this issue at some point.

I'm guessing you did the endless path before Twin Elms? or are you not playing in Hard?

Same here

Yeah, and I'm playing on Path of the Damned. I couldn't beat the end boss of Endless Paths at first so I went to Dyrwood, hit level 12 there, then finished Endless Paths, then went to Twin Elms.

I think my main mistake was doing all the bounty quests as they popped up. They give way too much XP. Oh well. I do love the game, but I really need the incentive of challenge to keep myself going.

maybe you were like me. it turns out I had to install the 1.03 patch

I'm almost guessing there were fewer bugs on the release version than 1.03 by the comments here. I didn't run into any bugs.

I am concerned the patch nerfs some stuff. Is there a list?

Yeah, click on the word here, which is a hyperlink, in Couch's first post.
