This is an update that brings some requested quality-of-life changes and numerous bug fixes.
v1.17.3
Important Changes
- Damage mitigation effects now cannot reduce damage below 1. If a character is hit by a damaging attack, they will now always take at least 1 damage.
- Character stats screen and battle inspect screens now have tooltips explaining all statistics
- Higher difficulty settings now have an effect on experience gain and loot quality from battle (note that this does not apply to found treasure)
- New option for instant dungeon movement
- Shops now have specific shopkeepers that can be spoken to for more information
- Additional tutorial dialog and new help popups
- Help bubble popups remember when they've been dismissed
- Hiring new characters in the first month of the game is now free, making it easier to change your starting party
- Tonics now work differently. No more 'liver damage', characters can use one tonic for each character level, at any time. Improved tonic tooltip to show how many more tonics the selected character can use.
- Cosmetic Enhancements now use their own special slot
- Improved handling of situations where all friendlies/enemies are hidden (now means none are)
