yeah a big patch…has some spoiler in it I guess.

Reactive armor changes:
Cost changed to 2 AP
Cooldown changed to 6 turns
Damage reduced

That skill was the main bread and butter of the soloing building (well one of them, I read the post about a dude who solo classic using that and perseverance).

Fixed certain Voidwoken that create Cursed blood surfaces when they died

Wait, that was a bug??? I though it was a feature. They like all do it in Act 2.

Sebille no longer proclaims she is free when enthralled

But it is a very Sebille thing to do, lol.

No explicit mention of the Portrait glitch due to mirror respec. Here's hoping that it's fixed regardless.

One rune slot per item? And I was gathering only those with two slots… Just kidding.

EDIT:

Fixed not being able to drag items from containers to inventory

This was a bug?!

I honestly thought it's impossible as a part of f.k K+M and go mushrooms UI adaptation.

Fixed AI characters trying to move out of invalid positions when they are unable to move

What exactly is fixed here? All my (hard) fights I'm getting trashmobs stuck somewhere and they're trying to escape but can't. Hopefully they didn't disable this strategy where I can't make a circle of boxes then teleport a trashmob inside it.

Fixed the White Magister who kept repeating her shout for every hit during combat.

Dunno where this happens, but it feels hilarious and as such shouldn't have been fixed!

Added an option to enable/disable sound muting when the game window does not have focus.

Thank god, I'm gonna disable it right away because I was keeping the party onscreen all the time so I don't miss a detected secret spot to dig/loot!

Great looking patch although some spoilers for sure in the notes even if I don't fully understand them - just got to Driftwood last night. Seems like there might be a romance option as well … that is something to look forward to and even more glad I decided to go custom.

The graphics of this game just doesn't seem to warrant romances. It makes sense in Skyrim and Witcher but isometric? No thanks.

No Vicky romance in BG2 for you?
I'm totally disappointed.

Lol I am not looking for sex scenes. I just enjoy companions, relationships, and interactions with them. I got hooked on them ever since Baldur Gate 1 … which is probably why BG stands out as one of my all time favorite games. Not just the companions but little things like the personal quests to get a cottage (Ranger) or castle.

I like companions a lot in games.

EDIT: Just did part of a romance and it was great and nicely done I thought. Couldn't be happier right now with the game.

Audio erotica novel isn't as awkward as animated 3D sex scenes.

Well unless you are a skeleton, then it's just hilarious.

Playing as the human female Loshe my (first?) romantic involvement was with the skeleton

Sounds like you both got boned.

Minor update today:

Hello everyone!
We issued a hotfix today, containing the following changes:

• Cases that could cause the “Device lost” crash, are now better handled.
• Fixed an eternal damage loop situation in combat.
• Lucky Charm has been re-balanced: it now grows in power at a slower rate.
• Tweaked Journal XP.
• Several fixes and improvements for German, French and Russian languages.
• Also, a big patch is on the horizon, and we are aiming to release it next week. The focus will be fixing the remaining issues we’ve seen pop up since release.

Thank you for unending support and as always, keep on sending us your amazing feedback!

What does this even mean.
My luck based character has luck of 9 (5 points as skill plus 4 from gear) since the second island.

example: it grew by 10% each points you invested in it (so lucky charm 9 meant 90% chance of triggering) and now they reduced it to 5% increase per points (so lucky charm 9 means 45% of triggering).

NOTE: I have no idea what were the numbers or what they are now.

Luck of 9 wasn't 90% trust me. To trigger a "hidden loot", I needed to loot at least a dozen of containers, sometimes even more.
And it doesn't work on looting corpses at all.
