New difficulty modes:
Story Mode - for those wanting to follow along the story without having to worry too much about dying again and again... and again.
Blood, Sweat and Tears - for those wanting an extra challenge.
Custom Mode - where you can adjust the experience and include modifiers like no more ammunition at traders, turn off curse lifting, blessings and more!
One new achievement related to Blood, Sweat and Tears.
A special “victory” item awaits those who battle through Blood, Sweat and Tears to forever remind them of their difficult deed.
New Game+ is here as well, with its own modifiers!
Dare to combine it with one of the new difficulty modes?
New quests:
Jim is suspicious of the new basement in the saloon, but he also has another big job on his mind.
The shaman may require assistance once more in another attempt to right the wrongs.
A brand new NPC may offer two wild, new quests that will take player across whole map
These modes and quests will most certainly need balancing...
so we're gonna need feedback from y'all!
Please let us know how you feel about the new modes and let us know on the forums! We'll be looking to put out another patch for Blood West in a week or two!
Bug fixes:
Traits screen is now back to how it looked prior to 4.3.0

Fixed “Loremaster of the Barren Lands” achievement being granted before gathering the last note

Game should be able to recognize corrupted saves a bit better and inform about them
Debuff from using a Cigar has been improved/nerfed
Totem of Souls voice has been slightly improved
Text-scaling can be changed in the Settings menu
