- Dual Wielding And Other Improvements - 2 October 2024
Greetings, adventurers! Some long-awaited features of the Fixpack have been released! They include dual-wielding, Steam Cloud support, fast-travel (single loading screen) to questgivers, and monster respawn in areas. Moreover, already known recipes are now marked in shops.
