I don't know if this counts as a contradiction but here goes:

Event: Passing the reflexes check when Zorana goes to sleep on turn 1

There seems to be no problem with the event itself as far as bugs are concerned, but I found it odd that Zorana is sleeping fully dressed when there is a pyjamas sprite already. I was thinking it might be to not interfere with the outfit system, but then I remembered that this is turn 1 which means you can't possibly have unlocked any stat-boosting outfits yet.

I've noticed two issues with the dossiers/social screens.

One is when I had Yakau as my military advisor, but he was still had the "unseen" portrait. If I'm remembering correctly, he agreed to be my advisor without even asking me to do his personal quest - so maybe something in there caused the full portrait not to trigger?  EDIT: I managed to have this glitch happen again, and indeed this time I can confirm that it happened while I recruited him on approval alone. 

Second, I'm in a run where I'm engaged to Kxenia and having Vasily as my concubine. All of the Vasily stuff is working perfectly - the change in our relationship status is reflected in his dossier. But there's no acknowledgement of our engagement on Kxenia's dossier. It's shown in the votes screen, though. I also don't have the ability to remove her from her cabinet position or break our engagement. If it matters, I did the villainess proposal option.

Game mechanics show up in Sideo's in-character speech on turn 24. log screenshot was easier sorry

I've reached grandmaster intrigue, so I've unlocked the mechanic where an electors background, blackmail, allies, and enemies are all automatically revealed to me. 

However, when I go to the denounce screen and try and look at the dossier from there, the information doesn't show up. This is an elector who I have met before, just before I got the max intrigue. I'm not sure if this is an intentional gameplay balance (you have to meet them in person to unlock all the secrets) or an oversight. 

I've also noticed that, on occasion, an elector who has a blackmail hook won't have the blackmail icon show up on the social screen. It's not a huge problem, since the icon does show up once I actually click on the elector, but it is a small visual issue that I thought I'd point out.

While fending off an assassination attempt at the pool (unsuccessfully, clearly), it says that there's tools checks being made. I can't figure out what group of skills this is testing. It's very possible I'm missing something, but I think this is inconsistent language. 

Bug regarding the history feature.

It doesn't always correctly display when a choice was made. It seems to always display it correctly for big story scenes that are locked to a specific turn, but it doesn't always show up when you made a choice during a banquet or a quest. 

For example: the choice to do piloting over painting here isn't indicated.

I'm going back through a completed run to try and make a guide, which is why I noticed. 

I have found a text box overflow bug in one of the epilogue screens (this appears to happen if there is an engagement and Krovos is on the Cabinet, and it's the one with a decorated skull on it). While I cannot find the rot13 option to spoiler what I think could be a spoilery epilogue item, taking two words out of either of the first two paragraphs would solve the overflow.

(The engagement imperial proclamation flipped briefly, but I thought that was an intentional fancy spin animation to grab attention rather than a coding error).

Not sure if this is actually an error or if I'm just not understanding right, but Yakau's profile lists him as Myrthan but based on his design I would think he'd be Mirrow? He seems to resemble those characters more. Maybe this is mentioned if I dig into his background, just threw me off later when i was looking through my screenshots.

I get a exception screen as follows: Meet star admiral for first time -> Charm and flatter (success) -> Negotiate (I particiapated in Starfall) -> He agrees and votes for me. The crash occurs when I click on the little page that unrolls displaying his vote status changing etc. 

"Hair wound around her hair" - this could be accurate and I'm just stupid, but I can't imagine it and I feel like maybe the second 'hair' should be something else.

change shoud for should

Milan's quest shows "hunting + fishing" as a combined skill check, not sure if it's a joke on purpose.

A couple of questions (possible but not certain bugs), having taken a quite different route through the game to usual, on version 0.7.18.1:

Is Dragocen's royal portrait (visible in the Turn 1 starting sequence and one of the Cautious mood activities) intended to have a constellation tattoo? My understanding of the lore is that this is something Myrkkans receive on becoming adults, for religious reasons. If Dragocen is old enough to have had an adolescent daughter at the time the portrait was presumably painted (given it's there at the start of Turn 1), Dragocen would be expected to have undergone the Myrkkan adult initiation rites at some point. (If there's a spoiler about Dragocen's beliefs being different, the imperial portrait artist was trying to make an aesthetic statement or some other in-game reason exists, however non-spoilery, please put that reason in rot13 or something - adding lore would be an equally valid solution for this as changing the image, and potentially simpler at this point).



I'm also not sure if this sequence of checks that appears whether Branekka is asked about the weather at the Heru III reception is intentional, coincidental or a bug. It's the first time I've seen any check of the same area not be presented in ascending or descending order:

The initial explanation for Denounce says that denouncing an elector will "ensure that they never vote for you", but in a run where I denounced literally every possible elector (I'm trying to collect all the assassinations), I still got 2 votes (1 from Draug, which was definitely Stoyan, since Sinnipart was pledged to Lukamir, and 1 from Myrkka 1, which was presumably Korvos, because he was the only one there with a positive opinion of me). Not sure if this is a bug or if the description of denounce is misleading and the actual effect is just "lowers their approval a lot"

While I haven't seen much in the way of bugs during my playthroughs so far, I did get this visual bug in space navigation.  I was on Heru III, and the white dotted lines connecting it to other routes were suddenly gone. They reappeared after the next turn, though. This is the only time I've seen this error.

If you've already caught/survived Milan's assassin and then talk to Branekka for the first time, she still wants  you to Denounce him... but you can't, because he's already been kicked out of the Heavenly Palace for sending an assassin. So she won't give you her vote.
