Bounty Hunter Bug (spoilers)
Since before and after the final mission, I have had the status "no new bounties available" for the wanted board quest. I have done everything else in the game, yet I cannot get the (likely) final bounty from the board; anyone else having this problem?

I am pretty sure its a bug as the second I enter Greykeep I get an alert saying new bounties are available, which is immediately followed by a second alert saying no new bounties are available...I tried interacting with the board the moment it loads, but I still get nothing.

Reanimation: Granite Guards corpses cannot be reanimated, despite having the "Living" classification.

Zeal: 3: does not add willpower scaling to either the character sheet damage or actual damage in combat.

Old Crypt Keeper's Staff: does not do double damage to living targets. Tested on dwarves, Dark elves, orcs.

As with SF3 base, each "meter" in the game is actually about 20 centimeters, unless every character is 10m tall.

As with SF3, health regen per second items don't increase health regen per second. Alternatively, they only do so out of combat, in which case it's a virtually useless and highly misleading stat.

Dexterity past 10 does not affect block or crit, even though Con past 10 adds more health

Brand of the Hunter incorrectly says that marked targets cannot move/attack/block/use abilities, when they can.

my "mercenaries" seem to be doing about 10x too much damage compared to non-custom companions...

update:
it appears to be a hangover hidden buff from druid shapeshifting,
i remade my mercs back into druids, shapeshifted and unshapeshifted through various levels of forms, and it removed the hidden buffs

[Rogan Ravenheart]

For some reason Rugremm won't transform, which means that I'm stuck and can't progress the campaign.

Found a Bug when first encountering the Alyani Village. Can`t progress any further, nobody is available to talk to and the frontgate of the village won't open up. The first guard appears as questmarker, but i cant talk to.

Couldnt find any fix for this and the game stalls here, cant progress any further in my main missions.
