No the save file doesn't keep the bugs..

I tried a new character under the new patch and still had a lot of the "corrected" bugs.

I am starting to wonder if the latest patch wasn't incorrectly deployed. Maybe we ended up with a cross between the files the patch was meant to fix and the original files.

If so, we might get lucky and end up with a quick refresh that solves most gamer's woes.

I hope that is the case. I don't like patches where most of the "fixes" don't fix anything.

I like many players am staying on the boards but not getting deep into BD until the game is more stable.

My time is just too precious to spend over 40 hours on a game and then find out my character is messed up because of a glitch and I have to spend all my gold to fix the skills or start over.

I am really hoping Larian fixes things right. I have played the game about 20-30 hours and what I have seen is awesome but ultimately the bugs kill the game.

Bugs seem to kill or maim too many otherwise good games ie. later Ultimas, Daggerfall, Sacred (real fun when a quest boss appears in town instead of the desired location and kills town people.. I also like the way you can complete a quest and then the status can change to failed if the rescued player dies, etc.)
