There is now a bandit who will tell the others to stand down in Tuskwood in Chapter 1 if you get to him, improved other dialogue and fixed a bunch of little shit. Chapter 2 DLC is still on track to release Monday, November 6th. Busting ass on side quest scripts until then.

-Fixed script bug where Commander Ralo and Murag would drop papers for Ch.2 when killed in Ch.1.
-Attacking the bandit camp in Ch.1 now causes Murag to automatically flee with Favius (so the story won't break).

-Sounds and game messages no longer play if map isn't yet loaded (for respawn scripts, etc.).

-Forges now produce light (like campfires and streetlights).

Huge pathfinding and general AI improvement, lots of new voice sounds. Fixed lots of little bugs and made tons of progress on Chapter 2. One more week until Chapter 2 is finished, but for now why not give me money on Patreon and get the alpha?
