I used two Wardstones, one for nightmares I think and the other for whatever. I lost them now in my save file, don't know how, they were in the quickslots of one of my companions, Is this a common bug? what to do? Those sigils give bad curses.

Apparently, this is a bug, I'm on the gamepass version. Can I finish the game without those wardstones or will it be a pain ? Iam playing on veteran and some of the fights are really hard I barely win without having to deal with this, apparently painful bug.

If they are essential I will have to use the console but that also removes acheivments.

I was a backer of the old game on kickstarter, even got a T-shirt. I don't know if you can remember, but the excitement was through the roof for those early kickstarter projects. They said they will give us a Planescape Torment(My GOAT) Infinity engine inspired game. They had all the right people including Josh Sawyer and Chris Avellone. The game was good, but compared to what I remember of the old games, it wasn't as good or as immersive. Maybe because I played it on a crappy laptop screen but I doubt it. However, it built a great world and lore and had a great system and some highs like the main villain, conspiracy etc. All I remember was that by thr end of it I wasn't enjoying it much and just wanted to finish it.

So when this sequel released I didn't rush in to get it, and Kingmaker released around that time I think so I played that instead. I wasn't that excited to try the sequel and thought it will be the same as the old game.

Right now I am playing Deadfire finally and it is really good. I am enjoying this on Veteran better than I enjoyed Baldur's Gate 3.

I don't know how many people are like me, but maybe that's how they felt. The game probably released too close to the original and too many people got burned by bad kickstarters that they didn't give it a chance. It's probably why the original outsold the sequel on release.

Now that a trilogy is in limbo I can't help but feel some guilt for not supporting the game earlier.

TLDR: you can blame me for POE3 not being released yet, lol

Edit: Removed Chris Sawyer, a fusion of two great developers!
