I have stupid problems since this patch. Or maybe it was there before and it just never happened to me until now, but after the patch yesterday it happened almost right away so I am assuming it's the patch.
First, difficulty suddenly hiked a LOT in my NG+ death march playthrough. But monsters do hardly any damage to me. Human's however, will kill me in two hits at most, sometimes one. These are humans like 10 levels or so below me
This I can live with though, because until then it was way too easy
What I can't live with is the other issue that just started for me; using tawny owl (I think it's tawny owl, that give stamina regen?) is unlimited. I am using superior tawny owl, and it has something like 1:30 timer. It starts at 1:29, and then never moves. So I have unlimited stamina regen.
However, using swallow I still only have 30 seconds, even though it is superior swallow. Shouldn't that have a longer timer now as well? It seems to be exactly the same as it was before?
Anyway, this is bugging me more than the difficulty hike, I don't like having that tawny owl thing there at 1:29 forever. Or until I use a potion to clear toxicity, or meditate at least.
