Wooo! Thanks!

Edit: Hmmm... Doesn't seem like enough changes for a new playthrough, but I appreciate the work nonetheless.
 
Other - Miscellaneous
  • One-handed throwing axes can now be used as melee weapons. (Default button: "X")
This is listed as a MP change, did throwing axes get fixed for SP as well?

Edit: Yes, throwing axes can be used in melee mode in Single Player, but the damage type still lists as "Invalid", so maybe that will get fixed when the rest of the throwing perks get implemented =D

Thanks as always for the work and patch, can't wait to try it out! I would have liked to see some attention to completing ranged perks in this update, but I can wait and I appreciate those things that you have been able to do. Does anyone know if some attention was paid to the bugged riding perks reported in 1.5.1? I mean I will check them out anyway, but it'd be nice to know in advance.
 
Conversations & Encounters
  • Fixed a bug that allowed players to move and control the camera freely in a multi-agent conversation.
well, if i didn'! get it wrong this bug was more like a feature that allowed us to take cool screenshots. I can't test it now, as the patch is 13.5 GBs :smile:

This seems promising.

Update in general looks like a hotfix but I guess they didn't have much development time because of Gamescom and NVIDIA stuff.

Yea, my profile pic came from moving the camera freely in one of these conversations, lol.
