I posted in another thread that my Skills info box had quit working. I found out why. It is the exact same problem I saw in G2 and NOTR. The cache for these Skills, and Stats displays is limited in size, and you can top it out. The effects are weird. It can cause long pauses or lockups; missing dialog and therefore failed quests; and probably missing voice in the dialog ...
What I did to prove it to myself .. same as in NOTR ... was I went to a chest, and unloaded everything I did not have to carry with me. I can always go back to the chest and pick up what I need later. I used the chest by Anogs throne chair, so I remember where I put the junk. As soon as I did that, my Skills info box worked again. Also, I noticed more dialog lines when I approached someone. I had been getting only one line at a time, and then I
would have to click again to continue the dialog. Sometimes I got no dialog, but re-clicking would then get it ... sometimes I had to click 3x.
I created this bug myself by wandering all over Mrytana and opening every chest, and attacking every animal, and collecting a ton of skins, teeth, and meat ... which I thought I might need. I have nearly 300,000 gold coins, and I'm not half way through the game.
I think this is a major cause of all the bugs we are seeing.
