This week's changelog:
- Added a House Daratan quest if Maadoran or House Aurelian is destroyed and if you rejected Lord Meru's offer.
- Added a conversation with Meru at the ruins of Al-Akia (when you enter the complex)
- Added 'plague' side quest
- Added an opportunity to blackmail one of the traders
- Added the first quest in a longer branching side quest chain and corresponding characters - find Elias in one of Lowtown's buidlings to get the ball rolling
- You can continue to Ganezzar from Maadoran's catacombs
- Fixed a coordinate bug in the outpost near Teron when climbing the fence
- Reduced armor penalties for blockers (cut in half)
- STR is now the governing stat of Block (once again and in light of recent changes)
- CON provides a small defensive bonus; we're considering a larger bonus to reduce armor's penalties (which makes sense)
The next update will be released by the end of the month. It will include:
- visual improvements and art assets
- new side quests, probably 4-5, maybe more
- new characters to talk to (working on an annalist who can tell about House Crassus' origins as we speak)
- extended conversations with the faction leaders (personal stories and such)
- hopefully new portraits - Hector needs one
- possibly a couple of items requested by the community: a custom short spear and a sledgehammer
- journal entries
As always, we thank you for your support and patience.
