Pillars of Eternity is a lovely CRPG, but it's a lovely CRPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a developer that's be known to miss the odd bug or two. Like the one that strips your character's permanent buffs and abilities if you double-click equipment in your inventory.

It's now been a few weeks since I wrote my initial thoughts about the inventory, and I've made a few new conclusions from the comments and other articles I've researched (thanks to the Critical Distance Game Writing search engine).
