• New things in inventory screen:
  
  • Now shows companions as a list of images making it easier to switch between companion inventories.
    
  • Removed switching between equipment/backpack and backpack/floor. This was just confusing. Hopefully no one misses this.
    
  • Some companion related inventory keybindings have changed.
    
  • You can now switch between companions:
    
    • CTRL + UP / DOWN
      
    • NUMPAD MINUS / NUMPAD PLUS
      
    • CTRL + F11 / F11
      
    • By clicking a companion image from the list of images.
      
    • By using mouse wheel when the mouse pointer is on the list titles or on the list of images.
      
  • You can now switch between equipment & backpack and exchange-mode:
    
    • CTRL + TAB
      
    • NUMPAD 0
      
    • CTRL + E
      
    • By right clicking when the mouse pointer is on the list titles or on the list of images.
      
  • You can adjust item amount with the mouse wheel when the selector is on an item.
    
    • SHIFT pressed adjusts by 1, CTRL by 10, and ALT by 50.
      

• Made some adjustments on how companions replace equipment by better ones that you give them.
  
  • If they fill the ability requirements of an item, they should always equip the more valuable item (value in zorbits).
    
  • If you come across a situation where this doesn't happen, take some screenshots of the situation (F12), and I'll take another look at it.
    
  • Remember, if you equip an item by hand, the companion won't change it (other than ammunition).
    

• Some players have complained on how the settings screen is confusing, all dumped into one list, etc.
  
  • It may be, but it's not high on my to-do -list to do anything to it.
    
  • Remember that you can jump to next titled section with TAB, and can filter the settings by writing a keyword, like "autopilot" or "health".
    
  • There are benefits of having just one list with groups, as there are settings that belong to many groups, and filtering shows them all.
    

You can now use mouse wheel to switch to previous / next companion in the inventory screen.
Move the mouse to the list title and then scroll wheel up or down.
With the keyboard, previous companion can now be selected with CTRL + F11 or CTRL + NUMPAD PLUS, next with F11 or NUMPAD PLUS.

• Changes to enchanment scrolls:
  
  • You can now give enchantment scrolls to companions, and then use them from their inventories. Your Mind-ability and possible Expert Enchanter talent will be used when reading the scroll.
    
  • When enchanting items in inventory, you can press [CTRL] + [W] to swap the active weapon set.
    
  • If two weapons or a weapon and a shield are equipped in the active weapon set, unequip the first item if you want to enchant the other item.
    

• Random character creation now uses the new talents introduced in release 59: Spirited Learner, Bloodlust, etc.
  

• Fixed a bug where creatures animated in Carillo were too powerful. (thanks to Horthas for reporting)
  

• Fixed a bug where companion list indicated a companion being out of arrows / bullets when the companion had a shoot weapon in both weapon sets and the quiver had wrong type of ammo for the other set.
  
• Level loot screen now remembers the last sorting method: by distance or by item type. (thanks to Level10Cybermancer for the idea) You can switch between the sort methods with F10 or NUMPAD MULTIPLY.
  
• Fixed a bug with the "Lever Lover" achievement: now only switch room switches are counted for this achievement.
  

Fixed a bug where an anchor effect was set as the last used talent if the player was affected by it after flicking a switch in a challenge room.
