Bugs

 * While fighting in the Proving, you can talk to the proving master after defeating the enemies. There is a small window you can do this in. Once you talk to him, keep choosing dialog #1. You can get caught in an infinite loop and never complete the proving or you can finish the proving and all your companions that you had with you before going into the proving will be standing outside the proving alone. You can not add them back to your party until you go back to your camp.


 * If you set your party to hold in the final match when fighting for Harrowmont, your party will still be in the proving arena after the proving master's dialogue. If you release hold for your party while viewing one of your party members there is no way to get out, as the main character teleports into the arena. Also, your party teleports to you if you release hold while on The Warden.
