The previously detailed patch v1.2.0 for Obsidian Entertainment’s Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is now live with its official mod support, performance improvements, several useful new features, a heap of fixes and, of course, balance adjustments. The full patch notes are rather extensive, but here’s something to get you started:

New Features

• Added mod support for character backgrounds, voice sets, and Classes.
• Mod Manager has been added to the settings on the Main menu.
• The Player Stash now has a search feature.
• Holding shift while selling things from your stash will now add items without prompting the player about stack sizes.
• Reputation screen now displays the player choices that led to changes with the companions’s relationship.

Major Fixes

• Fixed an issue where party members who were knocked out during a save state would be dead but still be in the party upon loading the save.

• Players can no longer pickpocket their party members that aren’t in the current party.
• Fixed an issue where Vela would disappear from the player ship when wanting to bark at a party member.
• Fixed an issue where players were not being prompted to add Tekehu into the party if Rekke is in the party.
• Shrines no longer allow for Maia and Pallegina to farm infinite negative reputation.
• Xoti no longer gain’s anti-Eothas disposition when talking to Waenglith.

User Interface

• The tool tip that breaks down player health in the character sheet now displays the proper amount of health.
• All active animal companion abilities now properly display on both the Ranger and animal companion ability bars.
• Fixed problems with the ability bar detecting the active/queued state of modal abilities in no modal group.
• UI windows related to Pillars I Histories are now layering properly.
• The options menu and News Feed are now layering properly.
• Fixed an issue where journal entries could be sorted incorrectly.
• Fixed an issue where clicking a crew member’s name in conversation would open an inspection window for the crew member.
