Hello! We are glad to present you our last patch – both this year and before the release of the main game.

Right now most frequent bugs and major grievances seem to be fixed, so enjoy the updated version and Happy New Year! [h2]Bugfixes & Stability[/h2] [list] [*] Fixed Waterskin not decreasing Intoxication when used. [*] Fixed Torture Tools dropping herbs when searched. [*] Fixed Deadly Trick not exchanging places when Blood Golem if it’s killed with this skill. [*] Fixed arrows visually stucking in the doorways.
