    Correctly compute encumbrance

    Nerfed Brotoq, his version of Skullcleaver can not proc greater weapon focus
    Nerfed Half Finished Bone Giant
    Once the transmogrification chest has been found once, all new characters will start with it from birth
    Leaving the level to regen while the other levels are "frozen" should work much less well (also known as stairscumming)
    Fixed giving the staff of absorption in last hope even when it is cursed
    Gem Portal cooldown is now reduced by talent level. Also it wont enter cooldown if not moved
    Icy Skin now scales with Willpower
    Bone Nova correctly refunds Vim on kill
    Addons are now validated just as the main module
    Disruption Shield changed. Now takes no turn to cast, costs less sustain mana, the explosion is now an arcane storm for 10 turns dealing 10% damage each turn. While in the arcane storm the caster gets an arcance resistance buff
    Addons show up in the online charsheets

    Avoid avoidable ambush immediately after new target is attained when autoexploring
    Explore more efficiently by inferring likely wall tiles when autoexploring

    When autoexploring don't go to items that the player dropped
    Terrors from Curse of Nightmare do not spam "levelup" when appearing

    Rethread now can stun instead of daze
    Reduced Quantum Spike talent level on Ultimate Teluvorta
    Revision will now transport the player to the past immediately instead of at the end of the turn
    Grapples will now break when the attackers stamina gets to low to pay the stamina cost
    Spacetime Tuning is now a beneficial effect (so it can be used correctly by skeletons and other actors with detremintal effect duration reduction)
    Water wall digs into water floor
    Entering the last level of the dark crypt has a painted lore
    Fix hands going through the shield in the moddable tiles
    Setting leash anchor for party members will not prompt a "are you sure" dialog when self targetting
    Brawlers have given up their quiet ways and will now make the same combat sounds everyone else does
    Healing flyers are only shown when seen
    Berserkers are the first class in the warrior's list, instead of fighters
    Logfile should correctly flush when using --flush-stdout on windows
    Fateful Aura tree does not grant a hate bar
    Talents learnt from external sources (like cursed touch, resolve, escort rewards, ...) are not respec-able
    Iron Mail fo Bloodletting now gives a healing mod bonus
    Spiderweb now has a tile
    Updated some gfx tiles
    Can not teleport out of the south derth arena
    Typos
    Removed all egos with negative life regen
    High level trees are not learnable until they can be usefull to the player
    Activable items do not say they use 0 turns even if the talent they use does. Activated items always use a turn

        Display change: Combat stats(Accuracy, Spellpower, Mindpower, Physical power) and Saves (Defense, Spell save, Mental save, Physical save) are now computed on a O to 100 scale, split in 5 tiers. In each tier it takes more points to upgrade. So if you have 22 spellpower and wear a new item granting +2 spellpower you only get up to 23 spellpower. *This does NOT change the damage you are doing since a similar scale was applied to damage done in previous betas*
        Saves now reduce the duration of timed effects
        When a creature is hit by a special effect from a creature whose combat stat is in a tier over the target's save tier it triggers a "cross tier effect"

    NPCs will not use Body of Stone because they are too dumb to use it well
    Perhaps fixed items usable without wearing them

Glad you're having fun!

Yes the first part of the game, up to about level 25/30 is mostly "you are an adventurer, go adventure", I think it's refreshing to not start your life as the announced savior of all for once ;)
The "main" quest only pops up late and adds a new dimension to the second half of the  game.

Oh and you can make your own RL with the TE4 engine too ! :)

Playing it is indeed a good idea, I approve ! :)
