Guter: ... to the main game? Like for instance in Titan Quest?
Thanks!
Mostly, it depends on what you mean by improvements.
Stuff that affects the game mechanics (e.g. bug fixes, save anywhere feature) will work in the game as a whole no matter which campaign (Dead Man's Switch, Dragonfall and any user campaigns will get these changes).
There's also stuff that's Dragonfall specific, so you won't get Dragonfall-only spells/weapons/armour appearing in Dead Man's Switch.
The current change list is here:
