Pillars of Eternity’s Patch 1.05 Adds a Host of New Features

Good news, fans of Pillars of Eternity. The developers of the game at Obsidian Entertainment have prepared patch 1.05, which comes with hundreds of bug fixes, balance changes, and new UI features. There are even a number if minor fixes that aren’t in the patch notes, according to the devs.

Among the many new features in the patch is the ability to rename save games, change the potrtait and sound set of your character from the character sheet, new stash sorting, and even a new color for unique items in your inventory. 

There’s also a hotkey now for switching weapon sets on selected characters, the ability to bound extra mouse buttons to Ability hotkeys, and the option to reset newly recruited companions to level 1, allowing you to level up your companions to your liking in case you don’t like their abilities.

Keep in mind that save games in 1.05 are not compatible with 1.04 or earlier versions. The game will automatically back up your save games in a special folder in the save game directory after converting the saves to the new format.

Here's what's new:

• You can now rename save games.
• You can now change the portrait and sound set of characters from the character sheet. Click on the gear icon to open the customization window. You can only use this feature on player characters and hired (non-companion) characters.
• New Stash sorting. You can now sort stash by item type, enchant score, and sell value.
• Added a Latest News feature on the main menu to keep you informed on patches and Kickstarter updates.
• Added a new color for unique items in the inventory.
• Added a new hotkey for switching weapon sets on selected characters.
• You can now bind extra mouse buttons to Ability hotkeys.
• There's a new option to reset newly recruited companions to level 1 (without losing the experience). This will allow you to level up companions to your liking.
