Pillars of Eternity - Beta Build 392 Released

Well it seems Obsidian has released the next Backer Beta Build of Pillars of Eternity. 

Hello, all. Build 392 is now live for the Backer Beta. Currently, we only have the Windows build up on Steam, but we are looking into the Mac build. If we place it up I will update this post.

 Important Changes

• You will notice quite a few combat balance changes in this build. Be on the lookout and let us know what you think.
• You will notice many UI polish changes. Some screens may even be entirely new (loot screen, I'm looking at you).
• Most of the icons are now in the game. There are still a few that are missing, but those should be few and far between.
• Some final VO is in the game. You will also notice sound sets are in and hooked up.
• Skill system has changed back to a point-buy system.
• Talents are now organized during level up.

Important Known Issues

• It can be difficult to loot bodies sometimes. It can help to try to loot the bodies toward their feet. One workaround is to do a save/load. The body will turn into a loot bag and you will be able to loot it properly.
• Saving with a modal active will cause the modal to appear to be non-functioning. If you deactivate and reactivate the modal a couple of times it will start working again.
• Pressing the "Take All" button in the Loot UI, if a lootable body is underneath the "Take All" button, will cause the cursor to get stuck. This can prevent you from opening doors or interacting with objects. To clear this you can do a few things: mouse over a loot container, loot anything, transition, or save/load.
• The "proof" mods (e.g. Pierce-proof) are not stacking correctly and will have problems after a save/load. Best to avoid those mods for the time being.

Fixed Issues

If an issue has "Needs Verification" after it. It means a fix has been checked in, but QA hasn't checked it yet. These issues are likely fixed, but a few may fail the verification process.
