I just applied the new patch and the problem I had when I last played the game (October) is still present.
First, a question: are the skill bonuses of items suppose to add to the skill points spent when a character levels? For example, I have a character with level 1 in magical might. Later in the game, I found a shield with magical might +1. So, when I'm using the shield should my level in magical might be 1 or 2?
My problem is this: If I load a game in which the shield was not equipped and then equip it, I get a level 2 in magical might. The problem is if I save the game while the shield is equipped, quit, and then load this saved game the level in magical might is only 1 (even though the shield is still equipped). In order to get the level 2 back, I have to remove the shield and reequip it.
This is just an example--I've noticed the problem with many different items and skills. Also, the problem occurs when two different items are worn that apply the same skill. Once again, loading a saved game in which both items are worn gives a level of 1, not 2, in that skill.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? If not, try experimenting like I did above and see if you encounter the same problem--I'd like to know if this is a problem for everyone or just me.
Lastly, do you think that starting the game over from the beginning (with the new patch applied) would solve this problem?
I apologize for already posting this message in the technical section, but I was hoping for a bigger response. Thanks for any help or opinions provided.
