Fixed two HUGE bugs. One was from a recent patch that was causing occasional crashes due to combat abilities skipping a couple animations frames (so it looks better with targeting auto-pause).
I have no idea when the other bug started, but it prevented party members who were not the main character from initiating dialogue. You were always supposed to be able to use your other party members to talk to people and use their persuasion abilities. Just a handful of characters are supposed to refuse speaking to anyone but the party leader. Also fixed a couple other minor bugs.
Added another 7 persuasion opportunities to Chapters 4+5, as well as status effect tutorials to Ch.1.
Finally, I watched the new Deathstalker movie recently with Patton Oswalt, and there was a plant monster that absorbed arrows and shot them back out, so now that happens with Shamblers (plant monsters in Ch.3).
Complete list of changes:
-Added another 7 persuasion opportunities to Ch.4+5.
-Added quick tutorial messages for common status effects in Ch.1.
-Fixed major bug where party members who were not main character could not initiate dialogue.
-Fixed major recent bug with "objAttacK" command that caused crash (skipping first couple frames).
-Shamblers now absorb arrows shot at them and shoot them back at you.
-Fixed bug in Ch.5 sewer maps where some baddies started out Berserk.
-Smoke from cauldrons in Ugliest Pony Inn no longer causes blindness.
-Fixed Ch.5 Battle of Jadenbury AI script pathfinding.
