sYk0: Here posted at this "8 lipiec 2011 18:30:31" time, yea whatever that means.

Danceofmasks: Wait what ... you can fistfight a praying woman in vergen?
*goes to try it*

Seriously, though .. a couple of things I was hoping for isn't there (yet?).

Some way to sort inventory, maybe by weight.
I don't need it anymore I guess .. since I pretty much know what everything in the game does, and with the addition of storage I'll just put away heavy stuff like ore and wood.

Issue with not being able to use strong attacks (with RMB?) vs. the rotfiends while near the bodies (to be burned).
Trying to heavy swing doesn't do anything at all.

hanns.g: There is an excellent mod for inventory here:

Kindo: Lots of fixes - I approve! I can't believe number 20, though. I can't believe that they actually listened to those who 'got stuck' in the Kayran fight, when there's only two directions to choose from. Sigh... Haha! It makes no difference, I guess. It's just... amusing. Likewise the dragon part of the Prologue. :)

Kindo: Copy/paste of the changelog. Keep in mind that they specify that it's a temporary one, and that it's not final.

[Minor spoilers if you have not played the game.]

1. New FREE DLC – “A Sackful of Fluff” is a new quest in Chapter 2 of the game. To start the quest, visit the eccentric Elthon, who inhabits a solitary hut near the quarry outside Vergen. The quest will prove most rewarding to those who demonstrate patience.
2. Game now supports 4:3, 5:4, 16:10 aspect ratios.

6. A „Quickload‟ option has been added under the F9 key.
7. The game's HUD can now be hidden in order to produce HUD-free screenshots! On newly installed game copies, the option to hide/show the HUD is available by default under the 'H' key.

Please note that the game cannot be played with the HUD hidden.

Lots of fixes - I approve! I can't believe number 20, though.

vAddicatedGamer: No need to be all smug about it. The fact that it's well known to us doesn't mean new users won't have difficulty finding where to go after the bridge collapses. They might try to attack the Kayran from the ground (say casting Igni on it) or run to the right and get crushed by stones. Likewise someone new to the game may find the dragon part unnecessarily difficult due to unfamiliarity with the controls and admittedly it's not exactly a good time to read tooltips on the screen buildings are burning down around you, a dragon is trying to toast you, and soldiers are trying to hack you into pieces, and frakking Triss keeps staggering you with fireballs.

I for one, think those two are very reasonable changes and reduce the steepness of the difficulty curve.

Kindo: I'm not smug about it - I'm really not. It just amuses me whenever I notice how much hand-holding seems to be needed in games today. If there are two paths to choose from, and the first one you try kills you, there's a chance the other path is the right one, no? Heck, just seeing the bridge fall down, and slide into the ground textures, forming a perfect ramp... You would think that would be enough for most people to figure it out. But I guess it isn't, and that's alright. It doesn't ruin the game for me in any way, but it's still funny to read about it in the changelog for an upcoming patch. Apparently it was a really big problem. :)
