Pillars of Eternity 3.04 includes major fixes and item tweaks

Hot on the heels of the epic success that is Tyranny, Obsidian have gone back to their other classic RPG, Pillars of Eternity.

While it’s sadly not new news about a sequel, they have added Hot Fix 3.05 to the game which fixes the alteration of creature stats when reloading an autosave in Stalwart Village. Patch 3.04 also adds a host of changes to the base game, such as fixing the Brighthallow error on transition, spell and ability fixes – like the Priest’s Seal spell no longer activates twice – and Item tweaks, including Sabre damage being dropped to 11-16, but receiving a 20% damage mod instead.
