Thanks for the update! The new events are fun. I liked seeing how Tarata was connected to the inn, and why the player character recognized him. All of the army events were great, which makes the fractured soldiers appearing in winter that much more ominous. I could see a fractured Tarata showing up as a boss later, as sad as that would be. I think my favorite interaction has to be asking Scout if she is joining the Army. The look on her face was hilarious. Ailis seems interesting and I'm excited to see where her story goes from here. I had her show up around 4 weeks or so in winter. What is the earliest she is available in winter?
Thanks for the bug list as well, it helps to know what has already been fixed.
I found one bug that softlocked my game. It only occurred when playing through choosing a cure for Ailis and then getting the reforged, Ailis cured, event the next day. The menu for daily actions disappeared after the reforged event. Reloading the day the reforged event takes causes the daily menu to not disappear.
There was also one typo I encountered. When Tatara is talking to Lucy during the "on winter's doorstep" event, Lucy says "I don't want to accuse you to be unprepared for the ashlands..." which doesn't make much sense. Something like "I don't want to accuse you of being unprepared for the ashlands..." or "I don't want to accuse you, but you need to be prepared for the ashlands" would make more sense.
The only other things I noticed are small inconsistencies with the events. The npcs mention how the inn is still being repaired even though I had finished all the upgrades for it already. It would be cool if they said something else if the inn was already fully repaired.
I played on a maxed army reputation file to see the events faster. I had the event of Tatara reminiscing about the player's grandfather, and the inn, before the event of Tatara talking to Ellie about Cienna. In the event with Ellie, the player can ask "Did you know my grandpa?" even though Tatara had already mentioned knowing of him previously.
I don't know if it is new event or not, but in the random patrol event with the wounded solider you don't get an option to cure him with battle heal, which would be a nice alternative to a health potion or fracturing Lucy. If it's only a self heal spell, then ignore this.
Anyways, thanks again for the update. The new patrol system looks awesome so I'm excited to see that when it becomes available here. Good luck on development and keep up the great work!
