Hello,

Just fired up POE2 today, after beating the first in a long while. I did a save import and things looked fine at first (Eder had the correct backstory, I pledged to destroy the souls, etc). However, I did run into Vela on the beach, which is weird, because I sacrificed her in PoE.

If I make a custom history without importing, and choose the sacrifice option, then she doesn't show up.

No a big deal in the scheme of things, but I am wondering if more errors will pop up.

Boy oh boy, people are never happy. First she was bugged and didn't show up no matter how she fared in POE and now she shows up even tho she shouldn't have survived. I say "shouldn't" cause she obviously did, maybe you weren't paying attention for a moment, who knows. I know you wouldn't; remember? You didn't pay attention.

In all seriousness - tho where's the fun in THAT - maybe patch 1.1 messed something up there. You might wanna report this to Obsidian on their official forums, you know, the ones they'll definitly read.

EDIT: Seems I was right about 1.1 as you can see in this post: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/102036-11-vela-bug/?hl=vela

Thanks for the quick reply and info.

All my googling had brought up the opposite problem of her not showing up.

Loaded up PoE 1, beat Thaos again, confirmed that I sacrificed the baby. Imported the fresh endgame file to Deadfire... Still had Vela running around. Weird that it triggers the exact opposite of what happened. Keeping the baby is kind of an out-of-the-way quest to begin with, weird it flags.

Loaded an endgame save from 2015, so no expansions or anything, where, again, I sacrificed her. She still shows up. So, sounds like an import bug

There are a few import bugs still about.
They fixed the Eder ending import, and the absence of Vela - but seem to have introduced a 'presence of Vela' bug.
I also encountered a later bug where, despite earlier in PoE2 confirming my PoE endgame with the souls, the game reacted like I'd done something different with them.

Obs are aware and working on it is all I know.

That seems to be the case.

Doesn't really matter, since the game always crashes in the digsite anyways. They are working on that too apparently

I think she may be a mental projection of the Watcher rather than a real girl. I bought a new ship and went to check out the new cabin and Vela was in there. When I ran down to the other end of the ship to see Eder and Aloth, Vela was there too... Eder started a conversation with her and the Vela in the cabin could just be heard responding. So I went up on deck to see Serafen, and Vela was up there too.
