Summary
Dwarves (Chapter 3) and Geas Minions (Chapter 4): Plenty of changes to abilities and base stats.
Late game balance: Item modifiers increase slower at high item levels (NG+ and onwards)
Loading screens: Added text to most loading screens which didn’t have any yet.
NewGame+ starting bugs: NG+ can now be started without going to main menu. This should help avoid all the bugs related to saving & loading.
*Updates will slow down*: Dragonpath will be updated once every 2-4 weeks from now on (because life gets in the way).
