This would be the ultimate patch from Larian that addresses story content material, with the addition of recent endings for the Darkish Urge (no spoilers right here), Jaheira’s “unwillingness to comply with the group and bounce into fight, and Wyll’s less-than-romantic greetings.”

Larian left readers of the Steam submit on a optimistic observe and reassured followers of the sequence and the studio with an excited ultimate observe from CEO Wicke:

“I don’t know if we’re going to tug it off, however our narrative, visible and gameplay plans, I feel what we’re engaged on now will probably be our greatest work ever. I get excited like a child watching the important thing imagery, need to present it to everybody now and grumble in frustration at having to attend till it’s truly all working. Sure, it’s hype but it surely’s hype as a result of it actually seems to be and feels good.”
