Titolo: Pillars 1.05 Out.

This is a big one. Patch 1.05 features hundreds of bug fixes, balance 
changes, and new UI features. There are many minor fixes that are not 
listed in these notes.
 
Please Note: Save games in 1.05 are not compatible with 1.04 or earlier 
versions. The game will automatically back up your save games in a 
special folder in the save game directory after converting the saves to 
the new format.
 
 
New Features
 
You can now rename save games.
You can now change the portrait and sound set of characters from the 
character sheet. Click on the gear icon to open the customization 
window. You can only use this feature on player characters and hired 
(non-companion) characters.

and sell value.
Added a news feature on the main menu to keep you informed on patches 
and Kickstarter updates.
Added a new color for unique items in the inventory.

You can now bind extra mouse buttons to Ability hotkeys.
There's a new option in the Difficulty settings to reset newly 
recruited companions to level 1 (without losing the experience) when 
they get added to the party for the first time. This will allow you to 
level up companions to your liking.
