↔️ Easier dismissal of companions
💋 New, unique and random kisses
👋 New activities at the camp
🐛 Bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and more
Among these changes, we will note the addition of legendary actions in Honor mode! As a reminder, the latter was added during patch n°5. It offers a tough challenge to players since there is only one save location while the game ends when all members of the group have died.
A patch for Valentine’s Day
The deployment of this massive patch is also an opportunity to get back to it for the dozens and dozens of corrections are made in-game (see official website). In addition to those mentioned above, we particularly welcome those concerning interface changes. There was an overall review of readability during the discussions; and other changes providing greater clarity. Massive, however, this patch seems to have been deployed… a little late according to Sven Vincke, the boss of Larian:
Wasn’t that scheduled for Wednesday?
Why Wednesday? For February 14 and probably for Valentine’s Day. In fact, patch #6 brings improvements to lip lock. Additionally, each character now kisses their partner in a way “more reflective of their personality”. Enough to extend, even virtually, the lovers’ celebration.
