Tiny detail from patch #4 I was surprisingly happy to see get addressed:
The magicians by the fountain in front of Sorcerous Sundries will now actually cast cantrips for their gathered audience instead of just talking as though they are.
However! At least on my save. the louts still just stand about waving the odd arm or two.
Don't suppose anyone can confirm whether or not this is just a me problem or do they indeed need a little more encouragement next patch...?
Just to say though- thanks for all your efforts Larian!
Bumping this to say: patch 5 fixed this! Thanks Larian- you rock!
Did it? I have yet to witness the first cantrip, even after patch 5. The magicians aren't even waving an arm in my game. They are just standing very still.
