Let me start off by saying - I am sorry.
This might ruffle a few feathers.
I've started another campaign last weekend, following the 1.6.0 beta patch.
My last savegame dated november 2020.
I quit playing due to the obvious reasons mentioned time and time again on these forums. Perceived lack of progress, not enough content, mods that kept breaking due to mod-breaking patches, the whole nine-yards, up until the game not even starting up anymore.
If you continously play the game and get every new patch - the changes seem insignificantly small. You get fed tid-bits that dont really still the hunger within. But I havent played for over half a year. So all those tiny tid-bits got served to me on a big plate. And I must say, it's looking good so far.
From the introduction video, to the significant choices in culture selection, to the brother-quest that gets a proper introduction, the game thus far feels a lot more "whole" and better performing.
Dont get me wrong - I haven't exactly been an ambassador of TW. They have issues to overcome regarding this EA. But I am pleasantly surprised: All those (seemingly) insignificant updates amount to a more complete gameplay. I wouldn't be able to objectively look at that fact without taking an extensive break from the game.
Now - Am I looking at this with pink-glasses due to my recent experience starting a new campaign with 7 months of updates or are there other players who have been inactive for an extended amount of time and can objectively compare with the recent updates?
